Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at 315-308-1309 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Unless you are qualified to inspect a home and have spent the time necessary to examine all of the home’s major components, you just won’t know exactly what you are buying or what to expect a year or more down the road.
Home Town Inspections gives you an honest and independent assessment of your future home. We tell you if there are any major defects or safety issues, and we'll walk you through the major systems and components. Even if there are no major issues noted, our reports give you a great summary of the present condition of each major system and recommendations for continued monitoring or maintenance.
Take a look at this video for a bit more color about the home inspection:
Home Town Inspections does not “grade” your house. Each house has its own unique attributes (i.e., the things you love about it!) and no house is perfect. In fact, even new homes have issues that may require immediate attention. The purpose of the inspection is simply to give you a roadmap of the current state of the home so that you know what to expect after you move in, and who you may need to call for further evaluation or monitoring.
The standards for home inspectors in New York discourage the home inspector from making specific recommendations and prohibit performing any repair work on homes that we inspect. However our inspector will be glad to discuss practical solutions for any of the findings in the report. Many inspectors have a tendency to scare off the buyer by over-stating or complicating the issues. Home Town Inspections strives for clarity and encourages simple, yet effective, solutions.
Home Town Inspections will strive to get your report within 24 hours and in many cases will provide it the same day!
Absolutely! It would be great if you could attend the inspection. Bob the inspector will want to know if there are any areas you are concerned about, and will walk you through any findings and answer any questions on-site. However if you can’t make it, that’s ok too. After reviewing the report, we can schedule time to talk you through the results and answer any questions you may have. Our reports are provided digitally, and include pictures of anything worth noting.
Depending on the age, size and condition of the home, it will generally take anywhere from 2-4 hours to complete the inspection. Most of our report is written off-site, so generally our inspections go quicker compared to other inspectors who write their report on-site.
Real estate agents can be great resources for recommending home inspectors. They generally value home inspectors who are knowledgeable, reasonable and respectful of their time. They do not like inspectors who "scare away" buyers. Home Town Inspections of Syracuse understands and respects this and is happy to work with your real estate agent to coordinate the inspection. Whatever the case, you can be rest assured that we will act in your best interest. You are our customer, and only you!
