Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
We offer the most comprehensive home inspection service available.
We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other roof penetrations as well as their associated flashing.
Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.
We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, visible insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.
Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.
Best of all, our services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — at no extra charge!
Pre-Listing Inspection
Prior to listing a home for sale, sellers often consider having their home inspected by a home inspector. The inspection process and reporting remains the same as a pre-purchase inspection, however, sellers will often use the report to identify and correct concerns or issues prior to listing in order to improve the marketability of their home. A thorough inspection by Harbour Inspection Services, will help you catch significant concerns that could potential bog down the sale process of your home.
Renovation Consultation
And outside of the inspection process, Harbour Inspection Services can help you with intial planning related to such things as additions, renovations, kitchen and bath remodeling. Before hiring a designer, we can help you to evaluate your current structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling and gas supply to determine what, (if any) upgrades may be required before or during the renovation. Planning on a rear addition along with an inground pool, hot tub and tiki bar upgrade? We can help you organize all of that in a step-by-step process and put you in touch with competent trades people to make your vision, your dream a reality. Contact Harbour Inspection Services and let us help you kickstart your dream today!
Home Maintenance Plan
Often times, new home owners or existing home owners can feel overwhelmed by maintenance or repair items. Residents can often have conflicting thoughts or needs in terms of what issues should be dealt with first and or whether some items should be dealt with simultaneously? Harbour Inspection Services can help you identify major and minor items of concern and then help you translate that into a manageable game plan to get those repair and maintenance items caught up. Additionally, we can also supply you with a regular or annual maintenance program for your house - helping you keep your home safe, warm and dry!
