New Home or Progress Inspections

You are buying a new home and don’t believe you need an inspection, think again! Many times you will find significant defects such as homes with absolutely no insulation the attic, missing weather guards around windows and other penetrations. You may find flooded crawlspaces, inadequately applied roofing materials, siding not properly applied, and homes with inadequate drainage. It can take as much time on a brand new home as one five year old home, sometimes more. It is much easier to get the attention of the builder prior to close than after closing. Remember municipal inspectors typically only spend a few minutes in home and generally never walk on the roof or enter a crawlspace. I will spend the time necessary to protect your interest in your new home.

One Year Warranty Inspections

Even if your home was not inspected at the time of purchase, it is not too late for an inspection. I will look for the same types of builder oversights as often seen on a new home. Most builders will cooperate to make these types of repairs when a professional inspection reveals builder deficiencies. As a highly qualified home inspector I remain abreast of the most recent building practice changes as well as manufactures installation guidelines to assist me in providing you with the highest quality inspection available.

Technical Inspections

A technical inspection is above and far beyond a limited visual inspection. This type of inspection will involve many experts visiting the property, including but not limited to: structural experts, electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling professionals, environmentalists, sewer scoping technicians and other experts as necessary, to provide you with a detailed analysis of your home. Each of these experts will provide a written report to Castle Home Inspections which will be reviewed by Castle Home Inspections prior to then being forwarded to you along with any clarifications or additional explanations. This type of inspection will require at least two days of access to the home and a minimal processing time of one week, after the final expert visits the property for the report to be delivered to you. This additional period of time after the inspection is necessary in order to provide a thorough and clear report, consolidating and evaluating the reports and recommendations of the aforementioned experts.
