A general inspection typically takes 2-5 hours to complete depending on the size and condition of the home.  The report will be generated after the inspection is complete and returned within 24 hours.

Although it is not required, you are welcome and encouraged to be part of the inspection process in case there are questions along the way.

Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into five categories:

1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed wires. 
5.  Minor defects that the untrained eye does not always see.
