Home Inspection Services in Kearney & Surrounding AreasA professional home inspection is a great tool to help with all phases of home ownership. An objective thorough evaluation provides valuable information that will help you buy and sell with confidence and make the most of your home investment. The Home Inspection ProcessCustomer Request We work with the customers, and realtors as appropriate, to determine the day and time of the inspection. We also discuss what is typically included as part of a home inspection, discuss the scope of inspection for the specific property, and ask if customers have special concerns or areas requested to be inspected more closely. As part of our commitment to customer service, we invite customers to:
Pre-Inspection Agreement A Pre-Inspection Agreement is required to be signed by the customer prior to performing the home inspection. This provides customers with important information about what is, and is not, included in the inspection and acts as the contract of work to be performed. Additionally, it is required by many state licensing boards and insurance companies. This helps to protect both customers and inspectors, which in turn helps keep inspection costs low.
Home Inspection We conduct comprehensive inspections that include visual evaluation of the major components of a home. This includes opening and closing doors and windows, inspecting roofing materials, and operating air-conditioning and heating systems as conditions permit. The Inspector will also fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and flush the toilets.
