Inspections
Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence. As highly trained and experienced professionals, we have pretty much seen it all, and we will strive to provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer and home owner. Buyers will gain a thorough knowledge of what the home’s systems are and their condition. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making improvements. Our inspection services include: Buyers Inspection In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have Kelley Home Inspection and Building Analysis perform a professional home inspection for you. We are trained, and have the experience, to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details. Sellers Inspection Whether you are selling your home on your own or using an agent, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details. New Construction Inspection With a new home, the quality of construction is, at times, not what it used to be some years ago. Therefore many buyers have independent reviews of their properties during various stages of the construction process, including slab or foundation construction, framing or pre-drywall installation, and final inspection. These relatively inexpensive inspections help protect your purchase, prevent unpleasant surprises, and ensure the quality home that you’ve dreamed about. Warranty Inspection Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for the builder or contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain a home inspector’s list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road. Consultations At times, conditions arise that do not warrant a full home inspection. We are ready to assist you by evaluating conditions that concern you, whether these conditions involve individual or multiple components and systems.

Environmental Hazards Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information. As a courtesy to our clients and customers, we often arrange for testing and inspection for environmental hazards.
