A home inspection is crucial to the buying process and must not be skimped over. Buying a new property you know nothing about involves huge risk. There might be plumbing problems or electrical issues. What if the foundation is unstable? Can you imagine the consequences down the line with such a purchase?
Some people believe that they could go on with a major investment like a home, without an inspection service. Don’t risk your investment or a peace of mind. Get an Elite home inspection.
New Construction Inspections
It is a new home, why should you get a new construction inspection on your newly built home? Hiring a professional inspector will help you avoid inadvertently neglecting something and they will complete the examination beyond your expertise and outside your comfort zone. Nipping problems in the bud will also save you from incurring more expensive repairs down the road. If you’re able, get an inspection at each phase of the build. Before the foundation is poured or the sheetrock goes up. This way the builder can fix and repair any issues that might later be covered up. Finally, you should also get a final inspection before you close on the property.
Commercial Inspections
Knowing the condition of a property before making the decision to invest is crucial. We want to make sure we uncover any potential problems with the structure that may affect the permitted use.
We will look at the overall condition of the property as well as the major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.), the roof, roof decking, foundation, stairways or elevators, and parking areas. We will create a complete report that will outline our findings and other items important to commercial property owners.
