Kayton S.

Steven was very thorough and provided us with all we needed to know about our new home. The inspection was done with a two day notice and we got the inspection report promptly. We are much more confident in our purchase thanks to Front Door Home Inspections.

Morri D.

Steven completed a home inspection on a house we made an offer on. He was professional, extremely thorough and took time to explain all of his findings in detail to us. When we asked a question about an area of concern, he graciously went back into the crawl space to double check for us. His report was emailed to us later that same day! We were impressed and would highly recommend him and this company!

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.
