2. How long does a home inspection take?
Our home inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may take longer. Our licensed Southington-based inspectors take the time to thoroughly evaluate each area for your peace of mind.
3. What does a home inspection cover?
Our standard home inspection includes the roof, attic, foundation, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, structure, insulation, windows, doors, and more. We follow the Connecticut Standards of Practice and go beyond with high-detail reporting and digital photos.
4. Do I need to attend the home inspection?
While not required, we recommend that buyers and sellers attend the inspection—especially toward the end—so our inspector can walk you through the findings, explain any concerns, and answer questions in person.
