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. Our service area includes: GA (Augusta, Evans, Martinez, Waynesboro, Thomson, Lincolnton) and SC (all of Aiken, Edgefield, & McCormick counties).
