When you hire a home inspector, you are hiring an experienced professional who has training and experience in the building industry. It is the job of the home inspector to not only evaluate the condition of the house's systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced.

Your home inspector gives you the "Big Picture" analysis of the house you are purchasing via a summary page on each report. If the home inspector identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any of the houses' systems or structures, the inspector will recommend the appropriate professional, which may be an experienced engineer with expertise analyzing that particular system or structure. The need for this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare.

Hiring a Professional Engineer on your own can be a disappointing experience. The term Professional Engineer does not mean that the individual has training or experience conducting home inspections. Hiring a Professional Engineer to complete a home inspection undoubtedly costs more, but it will not give you the detail that you deserve and will receive from a Home Inspection.

Our home inspection service is a visual inspection of the structural elements and systems which are accessible. This typically includes:

1. Foundation
2. Roofing
3. Exterior, walls, siding etc...
4. Porches and decks
5. Attic
6. Electrical systems
7. Plumbing systems
8. Interior
9. Doors and windows
10. Heating and air conditioning systems
11. Ventilation
12. Fireplaces

We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector so that you may ask questions and gain a better understanding of the systems in the home. At ACS we are comfortable conducting our inspections with clients, realtors (and even with sellers) present. A Home Inspection is all about communication. This is accomplished through verbal discussion during the inspection and also through a detailed computer generated report.

If you have any questions, or are interested in any other services, please contact us so we may discuss your needs.
