Hawkeye Property Inspection

Inspection Overview

A home cannot fail or pass an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

A thorough home inspection for a home that is of average size and in average condition usually takes around three hours. It is not required, but ideally you will accompany your inspector during the consultation. This is a good way to get a visual reinforcement of the findings that will be in your report.

I take my inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report will include a clear description of the findings with any problem areas noted so you can easily identify them. Digital pictures are used throughout the report to help illustrate problems or areas of concern. I use a web based report system that can be viewed online by the client at any time after the inspection or it can be printed out. Telephone consultation will be available after the inspection to clear up any questions or concerns that you may have.

The following components and systems will be professionally inspected:

Roof (shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim and gutters, drip edges, skylights, downspouts, and other visible roof related items)
Attics (insulation, ventilation, rafters, joists and collar ties, trusses, wiring attachments, and other visible related items)
