What is inspected during your home inspection...
Other than peace of mind, all inspections come with a detailed written report with pictures and are delivered via email, fax, or postal mail within 24-48 hours, under normal circumstances. A copy can also be provided to your agent if you so wish. If you need a home inspection in Augusta, GA or anywhere within the CSRA metro area, we would be glad to have you as a customer.

Existing Homes: Pre-purchase (buyers), pre-listing "move-in certified" (sellers), pre-lease (landlord/tenant), annual maintenance (current homeowners).
New Homes: "11-Month inspection" to scrutinize the home prior to the expiration of the builders first year warranty.
New Residential Construction: Conduct phased inspections for buyers and builders including footing/concrete slab, plumbing slab, rough-ins (framing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical), pre-power electrical (check wire sizes and for safe conditions before power is permanently installed), final inspection upon construction completion.
