Home Inspection Services
 
From the founding of Welcome Home Inspections, we made a basic but important decision: We decided we would rather explain price one time than apologize for quality forever.  We had a choice to be a provider of mediocre, low-priced inspections or a provider of thorough, high quality inspections.  We chose quality.

LIST Inspection

 

Our LIST inspection is for home sellers.  By having your home pre-inspected, complete with an inspection report hosted online to present to prospective buyers, you can substantially increase the chance of a quick and successful sale.  A pre-inspected home increases buyer confidence and therefore increases the salability of your home and can even help your home to sell for more money.

 

The LIST inspection is available as a STANDARD or PREMIUM inspection.

 

NEW HOME Inspection

 

Our NEW HOME inspection is for buyers / owners of a new home.  Surprisingly, new homes often have many defects and it is best to identify them and have them dealt with before possession or during the new home warranty period.
