Residential Home Inspections

Thank you for your interest in White Glove Building Inspections, Inc.

A home inspection gives the buyer detailed information on potential problems in order to make a wise decision. A qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential new home to assist in this decision. We work on behalf of the client to give you the best information available at the time of the inspection.

As Founder and President, I have personally been doing inspections since 1990, and have a staff of well trained and experienced inspectors. Thank you for your interest in White Glove Inspections.

A Home Inspection Includes…

White Glove inspects the components of the home for condition, approximate age and/or lifespan, safety, maintenance, and efficiency.  Our inspections are very extensive covering the exterior and interior of your home.

The inspection of the exterior includes:

Foundation, exterior walls, brick, siding, windows, doors, trim, roof flashings, chimney, roof drainage, soffits, fascia, entry, landings, deck, walkways, driveways, garages, and grading, Wall and floor framing, building structure, attic venting and insulation, basement and crawlspaces, heating and cooling systems, electrical systems, plumbing systems, sump and ejector pumps, water heater, gas leak detection, carbon monoxide detection, walls, ceilings, floors, appliances, and fixtures.

The interior inspection covers:

Wall and floor framing, building structure, attic venting and insulation, basement and crawlspaces, heating and cooling systems, electrical systems, plumbing systems, sump and ejector pumps, water heater, gas leak detection, carbon monoxide detection, walls, ceilings, floors, appliances, and fixtures.

New Home Buyer phased house and site Inspections: These inspections are a survey of the home during various stages of construction.

Construction phase inspections: Framing stage to drywall stage inspection.

Pre-closing punch list:

At the time of a pre-closing walkthrough it is easy to miss items because of the overwhelming desire to move in. Allow us to do the looking for you!

Phased house and site inspections for a professional home builder:

We can provide a second pair of eyes to alert the home builder of potential problems to improve quality.

One year warranty inspections:

Typically a new home sale includes a one year warrant whereby the builder will correct any problems found within the first year of ownership of a new home. It is always wise to have an inspection before the year expires to determine if something does need repair — don’t get “stuck” with a maintenance bill later when the warranty has run out!

Reinspections

Once an inspection is completed, we are available to come back (at a reduced rate) to make sure repairs were properly made. This provides you with assurance that items noted in the report were repaired correctly, and further protects your investment and home from future damage resulting from improper repair.

NOTE: The above is just a very brief overview of the main components of the White Glove service. We would be delighted to discuss your inspection needs. For a free quote, give us a call or click on the “Get a Quote” link to the left.

If there is anything about your inspection, or the report, that is unclear, please call us and we will be happy to review the report with you and answer any questions you might have — either by having the inspector call you or by discussion with one of our trained staff. Unless otherwise noted, our inspections are based on evidence reasonably available during the inspection. Our reports can be considered sound opinion based on our experience examining thousands of structures. Observations are limited to availability and conditions that exits at the time of the inspection, thus no guarantees can be made.
