What Happens During the Inspection? |
In order to inform you about the present condition of the home, you
and your home inspector will visually examine all readily accessible areas
of the house.
What is the condition of the roof?
Are there any structural concerns?
Is the electrical system safe and sized to meet the needs of the
house?
What is the condition of the Heating/Cooling System?
These are among the areas covered by a Gibbs Surette Inspect Home Inspection.
An inspection that exceeds the minimum standards set by ASHI (American
Society of Home Inspectors).
While the home inspector is primarily looking for unsafe and significant
concerns, at Gibbs Surette Inspect you will experience "service with perspective."
With your perspective report you will know which
components require immediate attention, and those components considered
as routine maintenance.

Should I Accompany the Home Inspector? |
Yes! Learn by experience. We urge you to be there personally so you
can ask questions and receive helpful maintenance tips from your Home Inspector!
