Here are answers to our most commonly asked questions about the Home Inspection process. We invite you to read through this list. If you have any additional questions for us, please don't hesitate to contact us!

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!

    • You will receive your Perspective Report via e-mail as an easy to print file which gives you the ability to know the difference between significant concerns and routine maintenance. Our clients are not left with a long list of defects requiring further interpretations.
    • We consider communication skills a top priority. Our inspectors communicate honestly, directly, and clearly.
    • We provide well water test results in 48 hours - not 2 weeks.
    • We provide in +/- 3 working days radon testing results which meet EPA protocols.
    • We provide post-inspection phone consultation.
    • Home Inspections are not just for Buyers, or only part of a real estate transaction. Sellers can also benefit from a pre-listing inspection, and Home Owners can rely on the skills and knowledge our home inspectors have to help them identify the source of problems that may arise in their current home, or just to perform routine maintenance inspections to identify problems or required maintenance that may not be noticeable to the homeowners
