Your inspection will also include a Summary that will hi light items that were not operating, any potential significant issues/ defects, potential safety hazards and maintenance items that might require repair or replacement anytime during the next five years.

Before getting started on repairing any problems that may have been identified by the home inspector, the home buyer may want to learn more about getting the most out of their investment. Rather than focusing on a single problem like an old heating system, not enough insulation in the attic, or a leaking faucet, etc, the home buyer should learn how all of the home repairs and improvements throughout the home can work together to give them the best results.

This is called the "whole house approach".

Just like the engine of an automobile, a house works on a system of interdependent parts, every part having an impact on the operation of many others. A typical home has more than 10,000 parts.

What happens when all of the parts work together in the most desired, optimal way? The home owner is rewarded with a house that is durable, healthy, safe and energy efficient.
