            Is your home covered by the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty Program? If it is, it’s up to you to document all deficiencies in writing and report them to the builder, the H.P.O. (Homeowner Protection Office), and the Warranty-Provider, before those critical days run out.

            Most homeowners can easily identify the cosmetic deficiencies. However, it takes a professional who is familiar with all the codes to find the rest. Contact us about our New Home Warranty services.

    Helpful Information
  • Home Inspection Facts

    A home inspection is a comprehensive visual examination of the home's overall structure, major systems and components. All components will be checked at the time of the inspection.

    A properly trained home inspector will review your home as a system, looking at how one component of the house might affect the operation or life-span of another.

    Components that are not performing properly will be identified, as well as items that are beyond their useful life or may be unsafe.

    The purpose of a home inspection is to provide the client with a better understanding of the property conditions, as observed at the time of the inspection, in order to become adequately well informed.
