Listed below are some of the most common types of inspections Quality Home Services offers.

Standard Home Inspections
This involves the inspection of existing homes for resale or maintenance planning purposes.  These inspections can be conducted for the seller under a seller’s disclosure inspection or for the new homeowner/investor under a buyer’s inspection. The properties included in these inspections are typically single family homes, condominiums, and small multi-family investment buildings.

New Construction - Residential Inspections
These inspections involve new homes under construction, at the end of construction, or just prior to the end of the one-year builder’s warranty. With this type of inspection, choosing a home inspector that has experience of local codes and extensive construction knowledge is critical. Many inspectors offer only cosmetic walk through inspections, which are of little value to the new homeowner.

While these inspections will improve quality and hold builders to a higher standard, they can also add both time and expense to the building team. Your decision to conduct such an inspection may be met with resistance by some builders, however, most professional builders welcome an additional level of quality control and consider it a way of limiting their liability for hidden/unexpected surprises.

Remodeling Inspections
Are you spending a lot of money remodeling, adding on to or conducting remediation repairs to your home without proper representation?  How do you know if the quality of work is acceptable or not?  Are you relying on the building contractor or remediation company to oversee their own work?  Quality Home Services can verify that your remodel is competed in the manner, and to the standards necessary, to ensure your peace of mind.
