Think about it, purchasing a home is often the largest investment a person will make.  A professional home inspection is like taking a picture of the house you want to purchase at that specific moment in time from the foundation to the roof.  Once any material defects in the systems, structures and components of the home have been identified, the information can be used to help you make a decision whether to purchase.   

A detailed home inspection takes approximately three hours depending on the age and square footage of the home.  The cost of a home inspection varies for these reasons as well, but the peace of mind a home inspection will provide you is priceless.
