Buying a house is the most important and expensive investment that you will ever make. Most home buyers when looking at houses are concerned about the placement of the furniture and the new paint colors. Those are the joyful and fun things to worry about when purchasing your home.

This is why you should schedule a home inspection by JD HOME INSPECTIONS. Our Home Inspector can inspect the property that you are interested in purchasing and provide you with a detailed written report about the condition components that make up your future home: the roofing, the plumbing, the electrical and more.

JD HOME INSPECTIONS realizes that you have very a busy life with your job, children and other obligations. With convenient hours, JD HOME INSPECTIONS can schedule your home inspection on Saturdays, Sundays and weekday evenings (during the spring and summer sSeasons).

At JD HOME INSPECTIONS we schedule only one inspection in the morning and one in the afternoon/early evening to ensure that your home has our complete attention and that your home inspection is thorough. We spend the time with you to make sure that you understand the completed report of your home that is present to you upon the completion of the inspection.

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation.

The standard home inspector's report will cover the condition of the home's heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and structural components.

Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you'll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.

If you already are a homeowner, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help avoid costly future repairs.

If you are planning to sell your home, a home inspection can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.

No. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value. It is not a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need major repair or replacement.

Typically, a home inspector is contacted immediately after the contract or purchase agreement has been signed. Before you sign, be sure there is an inspection clause in the sales contract, making your final purchase obligation contingent on the findings of a professional home inspection. This clause should specify the terms and conditions to which both the buyer and seller are obligated.

No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn't mean you should or shouldn't buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. If your budget is tight, or if you don't want to become involved in future repair work, this information will be important to you. If major problems are found, a seller may agree to make repairs.
