Professional Residential Home Inspections

Whether you’re buying your dream home or selling your current one, a good residential home inspection is crucial. A home inspection is one of the most important steps in the real estate process.

At Preferred Home Inspections, we know that your home is not just money or just a deal. The place you live is where you and your family make memories, and where you all look forward to what comes next.

Why a Residential Home Inspection is Important

For Home Buyers

When you buy a home, you want to feel peace of mind. Our complete residential home inspections find any problems that may occur later. This helps you feel sure when you talk about the price. It also helps you get ready for what may come up after you move in.

For Home Sellers

If you want to sell your home, a pre-listing inspection lets you spot any issues early. You can take care of the problems before putting the house up for sale. This can help raise your home’s value. It can also make it less likely that the buyer will spot big problems during their own checks.

Our Comprehensive Residential Home Inspection Services

At Preferred Home Inspections, we leave no stone unturned. Our certified inspectors meticulously examine every critical system in your home.

Structural Systems

We examine your home’s foundation, the surrounding ground, and how water flows in the area. We also inspect the basement, walkways, and the floors, walls, and ceilings. This helps us know if your home’s structure is safe and strong so that it can last for a long time.

Roofing Systems

Our thorough roofing inspection checks the roof coverings, drainage systems, flashings, skylights, chimneys, and areas where openings or penetrations pass through the roof. This is done to help keep you safe from water damage. It also helps prevent major structural issues in your home.

Electrical Systems

Safety is paramount. We inspect service entrances and panels, branch circuits, connected devices and fixtures, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and verify that your outlets are properly GFCI-protected.

Plumbing Systems

We inspect all water-using parts in your home. This includes fixtures, faucets, water supply systems, drain and waste systems, water heaters, vents, flues, chimneys, sump pumps, and fuel storage systems. We make sure everything works well. Our job is to keep things running right in your home. If you need help, we will come to fix or look at any of your systems.

HVAC Systems

Buyers love a functional HVAC system. We look at the heating and cooling equipment, the ductwork, and the vents. We do this so that everything can work well, use less energy, and help you feel good in your space.

Built-in Appliances

We look at and test dishwashers, garbage disposals, range hoods, ovens, cooktops, microwaves, trash compactors, bathroom exhaust fans, garage door openers, plus other things that are built-in. All of these items undergo inspection by us, ensuring they function correctly and are safe to use.

Moisture Problem Detection

Moisture can lead to big issues, such as mold or harm to the building. Our inspectors know where to look for problems right now and where things might get worse in time. They identify these trouble spots so you can address them before they escalate into a bigger issue.
