* How to maintain your home



Take the NAHI Virtual Home Inspection Tour!  This brief tour has eight sections that display photographic examples and audio clips of what a standard home inspection includes.  The video cannot possibly detail every item that is inspected, but it does provide a general sense for what an inspection includes: http://www.nahi.org/flash/index.html


How it works:

AM Appointment: Inspection starts at 9:30 AM
Buyer arrives at 12 Noon for the walkthrough / review
Inspection completed by 1 PM

PM Appointment: Inspection starts at 2:30 PM
Buyer arrives at 5 PM for the walkthrough / review
Inspection completed by 6 PM

During the "walkthrough" of the property, your inspector will discuss the issues that were found during the inspection. He will also provide maintenance recommendations and answer any additional questions you may have. If necessary, he can help direct you to appropriate specialists for additional information.

Clients are always welcome to arrive earlier than the designated walkthrough time, if desired (some clients prefer to use this time for measurements, photos, etc).

After your inspection is complete, your inspector will return to his office and edit the final report. In most cases, the report will be completed the same night as the inspection (or by the next morning, at the latest). Since the report is your property, it is sent only to you (and your agent, if desired). We do not share the information with any other individuals (including the seller).

Why choose us?

We're More Thorough: Some inspectors prefer to have their clients follow them for the entire duration of the inspection and while this does speed up the process, the reality is it is much more likely for things to be overlooked when using this approach. We have found that a designated walkthrough / review period results in a more thorough inspection and ultimately, a much better product for our clients.

Our Reports are Better: Once your inspection is over, the report is all that you take with you, so detail and clarity are essential.  Some inspectors provide abbreviated reports, because they are quick and easy to generate.  Of course, that is of no advantage to you.  At Suburban Home Inspections, we spend more time on our reports, but still manage to have them e-mailed in a timely manner.  And each report is loaded with images that will help you expalin the results to third parties, if necessary.
