Inspections for Buyers:
Comprehensive Inspections for Buyers
Our company provides professional home inspection services for homebuyers who are under contract on their prospective homes. Our comprehensive inspection covers all major systems and accessible structures in the home, allowing buyers to make informed decisions about their property purchases. After the inspection, you will receive an easy-to-read, professional inspection report with photos and text that both point out valuable information about the home, in addition to deficiencies, maintenance items, and safety concerns.
New Construction / Final inspections
When constructing a custom home, it is common to assume that the construction process will be seamless and without issue. However, it is crucial to ensure that a licensed, third-party, professional home inspector performs both a "pre-drywall" inspection as well as a final inspection prior to closing. Even with the involvement of the construction crew and county inspectors, some items may be overlooked. Undertaking these additional inspections can prevent potential headaches and save a substantial amount of money down the road if issues are identified and addressed prior to drywall installation.
Pre-Listing Inspection for Sellers
In order to prepare your home for sale in a more effective manner, it is highly recommended that you consider having a pre-listing inspection performed. This type of inspection can provide valuable insights into any potential issues that may need to be addressed prior to listing your home on the market. By doing so, you can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and increase your chances of achieving a successful sale.
Testimonials
"Stonewood Home Inspections recently performed a home inspection for us on a home we plan to purchase soon. Ryan Via was thorough and took time to point out many aspects of the systems in the home, even the ones that didn't need mitigation or repair. It was more than an inspection; we also received an education that we might not otherwise have received until discovering on our own after moving in. If you are looking for a high quality home inspector and you want to be certain that you are engaging an experienced and knowledgeable professional, I highly recommend Ryan at Stonewood Home Inspections."Carrie C.
"Ryan was recommended by our Buyer Agent and did a very thorough job of the inspection. He took his time and provided a good, comprehensive evaluation of the property we were buying. The format of the report is quite helpful to not items which are of a safety concern, those things that should be fixed and other items of note to watch for in the future. The recommendations for remediation were also good. If you want a thorough, comprehensive, and complete inspection to ensure you aren't walking into any unknowns, Ryan should be your choice!"William D.
"Ryan was excellent! He did an inspection on the house I am under contract for and I was very satisfied with the inspection. He was extremely detail oriented, very knowledgeable as well as personable. He was able to point out items that I believe most people would have missed. If I ever need another inspection, I would most certainly use him again. I know my Realtor was so impressed that he has decided to change his preferred inspector to Ryan!"
