Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection can not only help expedite the selling process but potentially even increase the property’s sale price.
Residential Inspections
If you’re planning on buying or selling a home, then hiring a home inspector could save you thousands of dollars.
New Construction Inspections
The city or county inspectors often don’t catch everything, but we’ve been trained to have a keen eye for anything that could compromise a new home’s lifetime or safety.
11-Month Warranty Inspections
Most builders offer a one-year warranty on a new home. We perform a full home inspection before the builder’s warranty expires.
Commercial Inspections
A commercial building inspection helps you identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs or even worse, an unsafe structure.
Sewer Scope Inspections
We use a special camera to scope the sewer line to visualize any blockages that are interfering with the plumbing system’s proper drainage.
Radon Testing
Radon is a natural, radioactive, invisible, and odorless gas that is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
What to Expect from Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Front Porch Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
