of Massachusetts Specializing in Antique and Vintage Homes
As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation.
Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc. Inside I will examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. Heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.
Here are some of the many items I'll be looking at during your home inspection:
- Structural Elements
Construction of walls, ceilings, floors, roof and foundation. - Exterior Evaluation
Wall covering, landscaping, grading, elevation, drainage, driveways, fences, sidewalks, fascia, trim, doors, windows, lights and exterior receptacles. - Roof and Attic
Framing, ventilation, type of roof construction, flashing and gutters. It does not include a guarantee of roof condition nor a roof certification. - Plumbing
Visual inspection of pipe materials used for potable, drain, waste and vent pipes, including condition. Toilets, showers, sinks, faucets and traps.
It does not include a sewer inspection. - Systems and Components
Water heaters, furnaces, air conditioning, duct work, chimney, fireplace and sprinklers. - Electrical
Main panel, circuit breakers, types of wiring, grounding, exhaust fans, receptacles, ceiling fans and light fixtures. - Appliances
Dishwasher, range and oven, built-in microwaves, garbage disposal and, yes, even smoke detectors. - Garage
Slab, walls, ceiling, vents, entry, firewall, garage door, openers, lights, receptacles, exterior, windows and roof.
- I invite you to come along and watch as I inspect your home, and you are free to ask questions at any time during your home inspection. For more information on home inspections, please browse the rest of my web site, and be sure to check out the Homeowners Resources section under Useful Links.
