FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long will the inspection take?
The inspection time will vary based on the age, size, and condition of the property. A typical four bedroom, two and one half bathroom colonial style home will take approximately two and one half to three hours to inspect.
Do I need to be at the inspection?
We strongly encourage you to attend the inspection. The inspection includes the visual inspection of the property, a written report and verbal disclosure and explanation by the inspector during the physical inspection. A home is a major investment, as well as, a place to live. Take advantage of the home inspection to learn as much as you can about the home you are purchasing. Additional fees may apply if you do not attend the inspection.
Will the inspector get on the roof?
Yes.
Will the inspector provide estimated remaining life on major systems?
Yes, the inspector will give you the probability of replacement in the next five years.
Will the inspection report include estimated replacement or upgrade costs?
Is Whitehouse Home Inspections insured?
Yes, We carry Workmen?s Compensation, and Errors and Omissions insurance.
Will the inspector prioritize the problems for me?
Will you come back to complete the radon test?
Yes, Whitehouse Home Inspections will set and retrieve the radon test device. We feel that having someone (untrained and possibly biased) completing an important test is not in your best interest. The NJ DEPE requires that anyone conducting a radon test for real estate purposes be licensed.
