No. A home does not pass or fail an inspection. The job of the inspector is to thoroughly inspect a home and to report whether the physical (structural) and mechanical components of the home are performing the function for which they are intended. Most problems that occur within homes are due to negligence of basic home maintenance. Your certified inspector will be able to bring to your attention any issues that may adversely affect the value of the home.

Do you inspect new homes?

Yes. These days, homes are built quickly and too often the quality of the home is compromised. Frequently, even new homes are built that do not assure years of value and worry-free ownership. A certified home inspection minimizes the chance of any surprises that may appear after you have closed on your home. Your home is too important of an investment, let a certified inspector help set your mind at ease.
