Plan/Prep For Your Future!
Customer Satisfaction!
Customer Satisfaction!
For many buyers, a home inspection isn’t just about the here and now; it’s about planning for the future. The inspection report gives insight into the home’s current condition and provides a road map for future maintenance.
Knowing when major system like the roof or HVAC will need replacement allows buyers to budget accordingly. For example, if the roof has five years of life left, the buyer can prepare for a replacement and adjust their financial plans.
Similarly, having an inspection helps you identify small issues before they turn into major complications. For example: A slow dripping pipe tucked away under the kitchen sink, isn't necessarily a complicated fix and can be resolved easily. However a slow leaking pipe that hasn't been fixed could lead to substantial hidden damage.

Highlighting Safety Concerns!
Safety and home health are a top priority to us. We strongly urge and recommended to our clients not be mislead by temping "Cost friendly or do it yourself repairs or tests".
Although temping, when it comes to health hazards or environmental exposures, the consequences are never worth the risk.
If suspected health/ safety concerns are discovered, it's always best to air on the side of caution big or small. Our motto is "It's always best to professionally test!" What looks like a simple water mark or suspect stain of sorts could actually be something entirely different and likely of an unpleasant nature.
When potential environmental hazards are identified, such as:
- Mold
- Lead Paint
- Asbestos
- Hazards' such as faulty electrical
and more
We will work with our clients to get them in contact with the appropriate licensed and trained professionals should any testing be recommended.
It is our firm belief when health and safety comes into question, we advise clients to hire specialists trained in the specific issues of their respective fields.- The Total Team

Prep for a home inspection?
Modern Reports with Higher Accuracy!
Total Home Inspections will coordinate with the seller or agent to arrange an inspection in a timely, and efficient manner. We want to foster a confidence in customer education.
The Customer is encouraged to attend the inspection. The preliminary report can be viewed onsite, along side a walkthrough of the home.
This helps the buyer understand the issues in context, and allows them to ask as many questions as they like and take the time they need.
Once the final report is provided, the buyer can call or email any questions or concerns they may have. We do regular follow ups to maintain support even after you've settled into your home.
