Home Buyer Inspection Services

Standard Full-Home Inspection

A thorough inspection of the home's major systems, this home inspection caters to the buyer who is primarily concerned with the systems that make the home habitable. This visual home inspection includes over 300 items, from the foundation to the roof and all the major systems of the house including electrical, plumbing and heating/air conditioning. The inspection takes between 2 and 2 1/2 hours depending on the size of the home.

Items inspected include:

  • Foundation
  • Structure
  • Basement or crawl space
  • Interior and exterior walls
  • Siding
  • Water heater
  • Heating and air conditioning systems
  • Electrical system
  • Plumbing system and fixtures
  • Porches and decks
  • Attic
  • Roof
  • Gutters
  • Fireplace and exterior chimney

Extended Full-Home Inspection

This comprehensive 3 to 3 1/2 hour home inspection is for the buyer who would like a comprehensive analysis of all details of the home. This inspection provides a list of the many small items that may need attention after moving into the home. It includes all the items listed above in the Standard Full Home Inspection, plus information from the home inspector about the condition of the home's interior components, including:

  • Interior and exterior doors
  • Built-in appliances
  • Interior stairway components
  • Bathtub and shower wall coverings
  • Kitchen cabinet doors and drawers

Condominium/Townhome Inspection

Like houses, condos and townhouses should also be inspected before purchase. WIN’s extensive inspection of the condominium or townhouse interior reviews the structure, mechanical, and plumbing, electrical and heating/AC systems within the unit, along with any built-in appliances. This inspection takes the home inspector 1 to 2 hours to complete and will provide you with peace of mind in knowing that the unit is sound.

Duplex/Multiplex Inspection

We provide comprehensive inspections for multi-unit properties (duplexes, multiplexes, etc.). Similar to a standard or extended full home inspection, this inspection reviews all visual aspects of the individual units of a property, as well as all shared major systems and structural components.

Manufactured/Mobile Home Inspection

There are many aspects of manufactured and mobile homes that differ from a permanent residence. Similar to a standard or extended full home inspection, the home inspector reviews all visual aspects of all major systems and structural components of the home, as well as items specific to these types of homes including proper bracing and/or anchoring, permanent bolt-on systems and any towing, axles, or vehicular features.

Pre-Offer Inspection

More common in competitive real estate markets with multiple offers, this preliminary, information-only home inspection evaluates a home’s major systems and any potential issues, giving home buyers the information to make an informed decision on whether to place an offer on a property. Pre-offer home inspections take about an hour and are a valuable option in time-sensitive situations. Not available at all WIN locations.

Home Buyer Consultation

We provide home buyer consultations for homes that have already been inspected by WIN. We will review and explain the home inspection report and answer any questions you may have.

You can count on WIN for a timely and accurate assessment of the condition of your potential new home. We work for you and you only. Our knowledgeable and experienced home inspectors will explain the inspection process and findings to you, and answer any questions you may have at the time of the inspection and afterward should any arise.
