A typical home inspection includes the following: 

• Structural and Basement
• Heating and Cooling
• Plumbing and Bathrooms
• Electrical and Kitchen
• Interior and Attic
• Roofing System and Exterior
• Ground
• Summary

Inspections take approximately 3 hours. We ask that you accompany us during the inspection so your questions and concerns will be addressed. Our goal is to communicate the report to you in easy-to-understand language, so at the end of the inspection, you will have a good overview of the condition of the home through the report you will receive.

Synthetic Stucco (EIFS)

If you own or are considering purchasing a synthetic stucco (Dryvit®, Senergy®, and Sto®) house, we strongly urge you to have a moisture analysis inspection by a certified third party EIFS inspector such as Home Sweet Home Inspection Company.

EIFS inspections include:

• A moisture analysis using a non-penetrating moisture meter, and with written consent, a probe-type moisture meter that gives us a digital readout of the exact moisture content of the wood substrate, and therefore a more accurate test. 
• A written report based on the condition of the EIFS at the time of the inspection (in most cases, the report will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours).
• Photographs showing specific deficiencies of the EIFS using the standards of the EIFS Industry Members Association,  the Exterior Design Institute's training course,  and accepted building practices and installation techniques.
