Do you know what to look for in a home inspection? It is important to know what you are getting when you purchase a home. When we perform a home inspection we begin with the exterior of the home. A few things we will examine on the exterior include:
Exterior
· Siding, flashing and trim.
· All exterior doors, decks, stoops, steps, stairs, porches, railings, eaves, soffits and fasciae
· Vegetation, surface drainage, and retaining walls when these are likely to adversely affect the structure
· Report as in need of repair any spacing between intermediate balusters, spindles or rails for steps, stairways, balconies or railings that permit the passage of an object greater than 4 inches in diameter
· Inspect a representative number of windows
· Describe the exterior wall covering.
Roof
· Roof Covering
· Gutters
· Downspouts
· Vents, flashings, skylights, chimney and other roof penetrations
· The general structure of the roof from the readily accessible panels, doors or stairs.
