Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: A full home inspection covers the major systems and components of the home, including the roof, exterior, attic, structure, foundation, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC system, windows, doors, insulation, interior rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, laundry area, garage, and water heater where present and accessible. Inspections follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and include a detailed digital report with photos and recommendations.

Most home inspections take about 2–4 hours, depending on the size, age, condition, and type of property. Larger homes, crawlspaces, older homes, or properties with additional structures or systems may require more time. The inspection is not rushed, and the goal is to thoroughly evaluate the accessible systems and components of the home.

Yes, buyers are encouraged to attend the home inspection when possible. Being present allows you to see important findings firsthand, ask questions, and better understand the condition, operation, and maintenance needs of the home. If you cannot attend, you will still receive a detailed digital inspection report with photos and recommendations.

Yes. I offer pre-listing inspections for sellers who want to understand their home's condition before putting it on the market. A pre-listing inspection can help you address issues ahead of time, avoid surprises, and give buyers more confidence.

I evaluate the home’s major visible systems and components, including the roof, exterior, structure, attic, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, and ventilation. You get a clear picture of the home’s condition and any concerns I find.

A standard home inspection is visual and non-invasive. It does not include destructive testing, code compliance checks, or specialty services like mold, termite, or radon testing unless those services are requested separately. If you have questions, I’m happy to clarify.

Yes. Vacant homes are fine to inspect as long as I have access to the property and all key areas. If the home is occupied, it helps when utilities are on and access to major systems is available.

I can note visible signs that may point to moisture, pest, or air-quality concerns, but those items are typically handled through specialty testing. If I see something that needs a closer look, I’ll let you know so you can contact the right professional.

Please make sure all rooms, crawl spaces, attics, and utility areas are accessible. Unlock gates, clear access to panels, water heaters, and HVAC equipment, and remove clutter from around major systems. Good access helps me complete a more thorough inspection.

Yes. Peace of Mind Home Inspections offers repair verification inspections for home buyers and current homeowners. We can return to the property to document whether specified repairs appear to have been completed and whether visible concerns remain. This service can be useful for roof, crawlspace, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, moisture, exterior, and other repair work.A repair verification inspection is a limited visual inspection of the specified work. It is not a warranty, engineering evaluation, code inspection, or guarantee of contractor workmanship. Before closing or releasing final payment, schedule the verification after the contractor reports that all work is complete.
