Inspection Overview

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional Atlanta home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their proposed solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take several hours to perform, usually between an three and a half and four hours. Larger and older homes usually take longer. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found, including photos, with any problem areas noted so you can easily identify areas that need to be addressed. Our Atlanta Home Owner's Consultation Program provides free telephone consultation and support after your inspection for as long as you own the home.
