Buying a house may seem like an endless series of critical, important decisions. When you find the house that is right for you, you need to find a home inspector to educate you about the condition of your new home. Peak Home Inspection has been inspecting home since 1997; we are expects in our field and are members of the industries leading review and compliancy institutions.

Choosing Peak Home Inspection means choosing someone you can trust to objectively and independently provide you with a comprehensive analysis of the home’s major systems and components.

We cannot emphasize enough the value and necessity of an extensive home inspection; even when buying a newly constructed home; the additional peace of mind that a professional home inspection offers is invaluable. Many home purchasers, either in the desire to save on the cost of a qualified home inspection, or due to simple ignorance, have spent enormous sums of money repairing items that we would have pointed out.
Any offer to purchase you make should be subject to a whole house inspection with a satisfactory report. Do not let the agent, your family or friends, and especially not the seller dissuade you from having the property thoroughly inspected! Not only will you sleep much sounder after you have moved into the house, a professional inspection can give you an escape hatch from a contract on a defective house. If the contract is written contingent on an acceptable inspection, any defects in the home must be either repaired or monetarily compensated for. If you are not satisfied, you have the option to cancel the contract.

Inspections are designed to disclose defects in the property that could materially affect its safety, livability, or resale value. They are not designed to disclose cosmetic deficiencies (for example, an interior wall that needs paint touch up). You will need to determine on your own those types of items that will need attention: don't expect a whole house inspection to reveal them to you.

Don't wait until you have placed an offer on a house before you begin the search for a home inspector. Within 10 days of signing your contract you have the option to have an inspection done on your new home. This gives you the opportunity to obtain a qualified home inspector to do a comprehensive objective third party evaluation of the property and its components. This will give you the confidence and peace of mind that one of the most important investments you will make is an educated decision.

If you start looking for an inspector at that point, and cannot find an acceptable one to schedule it in that time frame, you will only have two choices: go with an inspector that is not your first choice, or run the risk of running past the deadline for the inspection; which may void any chance having the seller take care of repairs.
