Sean B.

We had a wonderful experience using Steven/Front Door for a home inspection on a property we recently purchased. Even though it was a newer/clean house he was extremely thorough and detailed in reporting the items that he found. He had helpful answers toward recommended resources for fixing issues he found but also candidly discussed which items were clearly DIY friendly. His post inspection report was detailed and loaded with pictures and support. Best of all he was pleasant to deal with and promptly answered questions in person and by email. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience with Steven and Front Door Home Inspections. He was on time, professional and very thorough.

Daniel K.

Steve performed our inspection of our home purchase and I couldn't have been happier with the service I received. Steve was kind, professional and thorough through the entire process. Moreover, he was able to walk/talk us through everything he noticed with our new home and explained the severity of items and was able to help us discern *Red Flags* from simple fixes. Overall, we were very happy to have Front Door Home Inspections perform our inspection and would definitely use them again whenever our next new home purchase comes around. Furthermore, will definitely be recommending them to family and friends in the future.

What to Expect From Your Inspection

Most inspections will take between 2-3 hours depending on the size and age of the home. At the completion of the inspection we will sit down with you and go over the major issues that need to be addressed. We will also explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent.

All of this will be detailed in an easy to read report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

Wondering what’s included in a standard home inspection from Front Door Home Inspections? Here is a quick overview of the services included in your home inspection, and the major systems that we analyze and assess throughout the process.

Roof
The roof is one of the most costly and important structures. We will examine the roof, its structure, shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, downspouts and more.
Exterior
This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.
HVAC
We will visually inspect the HVAC systems including ducts, filters, furnaces and air conditioning units.
Plumbing

Appliances
We will test and examine all major appliances like hot water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and more.
Doors, Windows & Interior
