What is a Home Inspection?
A residential home inspection is an in-depth observation of all aspects of the building, improvements, mechancial systems, and appliances. From roof to foundation, we cover it all.
FREE Consulting
As part of your home inspection, we include education on home ownership and the day-to-day operation of your home. This includes free consulting for as long as you own the home. We are glad to advise on matters such as repairs and additions. First-time home buyers can greatly benefit from our years of experience with many homeowners.
Why Inspect a Home?
The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you’ve ever made. Be prepared with a full understanding of the condition of the property and minimize suprises. As a home seller, you’ll want an opportunity to identify issues, perform repairs, and prepare your home for selling.
HINDSIGHT IS 20/20
“Houses fall apart five dollars at a time.”
All homeowners need to know exactly what issues their home is likely to experience. Whether you are a new home buyer or the owner of an existing property, a professional home inspection can mean the difference between problems fixed now or expensive headaches down the road.
Why Get A Home Inspection?
Your home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. To protect that investment and make sure you are making the right purchase, a home inspection is a valuable tool. Professional home inspection can help you learn about the property and any repairs needed, so you can minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties. Your home inspection also shows you the positive aspects of a home, and the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After your inspection, you will be better informed to make decisions about the home: whether to buy it, whether to renovate it, or how to price it to sell.

Home Sellers
When it’s time to sell your home, hiring a professional home inspector ahead of time can save you time, money, and heartbreak. Understand any issues and dangers before your sellers do. If you can fix issues before your buyers’ inspector finds them, you’ll be better prepared to close the deal.

Bluffton Commercial & Residential Real Estate Inspection
Buying or selling a Bluffton home, condo, or commercial building can be one of the most rewarding dealings made in a lifetime. Yet no matter how attractive a property may seem on the surface; achieving a complete understanding of its actual structural condition before making an investment is crucial to the protection and security of your investment.
Why are Real Estate Inspections Important?
Due to the fact that a buyer or seller has already put in a significant amount of money into the process, why is hiring an independent inspector a wise choice? As mentioned above it is important so that one can make a more accurate assessment of the property and understand where improvements need to be made. But it is more than just that.
Real Estate Inspection Will Ensure Safety
Real estate inspections are also about the safety, for all parties involved. There are many instances where a repair reveals a health risk. The most seemingly minor issues can turn into major ones in an instant! Like a cracked foundation, which can easily lead to structural instability or the possibility of radon buildup. A water leak can mean that there is toxic black mold on the premises. A crack in an old wall could finally expose occupants to asbestos. Even a broken light fixture is a sign that something isn’t quite right, it indicates the possibility of faulty wiring which is a fire hazard. If any one of these issues pop up, then those using the property are in danger, while those who sold it could meet with some serious legal ramifications.
Thus, when the people of Bluffton call on an inspector they are not only safeguarding their possible investments, but are also protecting people from both physical and financial harm.
