A Knouff Home Inspections Service
Home Buyer Inspection
🏠 What is a Home Buyer Inspection?
A home buyer inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the accessible areas of the property you're purchasing. Its goal is to identify major deficiencies, safety issues, or components nearing the end of their life so you can make a confident decision before you close.
During the inspection, I check areas such as the roof, exterior, structure, foundation, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, attic, insulation, and interior features. You receive a detailed, photo-documented report outlining any significant findings, along with maintenance tips to help you care for your home long-term.
With more than 25 years working with homes and buildings, from rough framing to finish carpentry, I know how homes are built and how they perform over time, and I put that experience to work for you.
