What's Inspected - Vanguard Home Inspections

So what DO I Inspect?
A professional Home Inspection gives you an impartial and unbiased view of any and all problems the home may have. This is so you have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will usually take no more than four hours, normally only between two and three hours. I recommend you to accompany me during the inspection so I can address any questions you may have about the home. I take my inspection reports very seriously. Every inspection is a generated using State-of-the-Art Home Inspection software that includes narration and pictures so that you will have visual reinforcement with your written report.
