Is A Home Inspection Necessary? Absolutely!
Reasons for having a Home Inspection.
Is the attic insulated? What does the crawl space look like?
Are there any signs of water, mold, or termites in the crawl space?
Is the roof showing any signs of leaks or problems?
Home buying is both exciting and exhausting. When viewing homes, buyers often focus on the space and feel of the property. They tend to pay attention to the layout, aesthetics, appliances, and features like bathroom showers and tubs, while usually overlooking the major components of the home. This is where a home inspector can protect your investment. A home inspector evaluates the functionality and structural integrity of the home and provides a report that highlights potential issues or future problems that could
lead to unforeseen costs.
And yes, a NEW construction home needs a home inspection too!
