Your Inspection

What Happens From Booking to Final Walkthrough

Whether you are buying your first home, selling a property, or want a professional set of eyes on a home you own, Homenostics is here to help. Our home inspectors focus on delivering a great inspection from the very first phone call. We are here to help you understand the home’s condition and make informed decisions. We aim to give great attention to detail in every inspection we perform.

During your inspection we take a close look at the major systems and components that make up a home. These systems include the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and more. Anything that requires attention is noted with a suggestion for further investigation. We follow a strict set of home inspection standards designed to protect buyers, sellers, and homeowners alike. We are happy to walk you through those standards in more detail prior to your inspection.

Once the inspection is done, we will go over the home’s condition. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about our findings as we explain them to you.  You will receive a full home inspection report complete with photos and clear explanations. The report can serve as a  reference long after the inspection is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most home inspections run about two to three hours, though larger or older homes can take longer. Our home inspectors take their time because thoroughness matters more than speed.

Clear access to attics, crawlspaces, electrical panels, and mechanical rooms ahead of time. If pets will be present, make sure they’re secured so our home inspectors can move through the property safely and efficiently.

Not exactly. A home inspection isn’t a pass or fail test. It’s simply a detailed record of a property’s current condition, and it’s up to you to decide what matters most from that information.

You technically can, but we wouldn’t recommend it. Skipping a home inspection means taking on unknown risks that could turn into expensive repairs down the road.

Our home inspectors can point you toward what needs attention, but making repairs isn’t part of the job. That keeps things unbiased, and you’re free to choose your own licensed contractors for any follow-up work.
