Infrared Thermography and 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.
Buying a home is a significant investment so at Welcome Home Inspections we only refer you to the best inspection providers. These service providers stand behind every inspection they perform and do not cut corners. They are dedicated to providing the most thorough inspections and highest level of service in each respective industry.
Home inspections are performed according to the InterNACHI Residential Standards of Practice (SoP).
