Buying or selling a home is one of the most important transactions you will make. A
professional home inspection can help you optimize your investment. At AHI Home Inspection,
we believe in importance of a fair, accurate, and unbiased inspection, to help you fully
understand the condition of the home you are buying or selling.

What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a
home, from roof to foundation. A home inspection report or home inspection service is the
equivalent of a physical examination from your doctor. When problems or symptoms of
problems are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation or remedies, providing
you with the knowledge to make an informed decision.

Why is a home inspection important?

Home Buyers: Most buyers find it difficult to remain objective and unemotional about the house
they really want, and this may affect their judgment. To obtain the most accurate information
about the condition of a home, always get an impartial third-party opinion from an expert in the
field of home inspection.
Home Sellers: Why wait for a buyer's home inspection to uncover hidden problems after you
have already accepted an offer? This could cost you thousands in a lower negotiated selling
price. More often sellers are choosing to have a thorough home inspection when listing their
home to help identify critical areas of concern up front. This will help you to decide whether to
perform repairs or disclose the concerns during negotiations.

What does a home inspection include?

An inspection report will review the condition of the home's heating system, central
air-conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems, as
well as the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the
foundation, basement, and visible structure. Click here to learn more about our services.

What if the report reveals problems?

No house is perfect. When the inspector identifies problems, it does not indicate you should
not buy the house. His findings serve to educate you in advance of the purchase about the
condition of the property. If your budget is tight or if you do not want to be involved in future
repair work, this information is and can be extremely valuable. A seller may adjust the purchase
price or contract terms if major problems are discovered during an inspection. Click here to

If the house proves to be in good condition, did I really need an inspection?

Yes! Now you can complete your home purchase or sale with confidence about the condition
of the property and all its equipment and systems. From the inspection you will have learned
many things about the home. You will want to keep that information for future reference or to
share with a buyer, when selling.

Can't I do the inspection myself?

Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional
home inspector. A professional home inspector has the experience, depth of knowledge and
training to make an unbiased and informed report of the condition of a property. An inspector is
familiar with the many elements of home construction, it is important that items are properly
installed and maintained. An inspector understands how the home's systems and components
are intended to function together, as well as how and why they fail. He knows what to look for
and is uniquely suited to interpret what his findings reveal about the condition of the property.

Should I attend the home inspection?

While it is not necessary for you to be present, it is recommended that you make time to join
the inspector on his visit. This allows you to observe the inspector, ask questions as you learn
about the condition of the home, how its systems work, and how to maintain them. After you
have seen the property with the inspector, you will find the written report easier to understand.

What will it cost?

Inspection fees for a typical single-family home vary by size and age of the home. Additionally,
services such as radon testing, septic inspections and mold testing may be warranted,
depending upon the individual property. Do not let the cost deter you from having a home
inspection done. The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the time and the
nominal expense, compared to hidden construction defects that may result in costly repairs.

Estimated Cost of Repairs $3500-$5000.00
