General Services
HomeCheck Inspections, LLC provides a comprehensive inspection for homeowners and prospective buyers which covers the essential systems and structural components of the home's major visible, structural, and mechanical systems. The items examined in a typical home inspection include the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, foundation, roof, exterior and interior structures and surfaces, including built-in appliances. The visual inspection culminates in a set of comprehensive, computer generated reports describing the condition of the items and systems inspected. In addition, these findings are illustrated in digital photographs throughout the report. Reports are printed on-site at the conclusion of the inspection, or may be mailed and/or emailed.

See FAQs for the most common home inspection queries.
