What to Expect from Your Inspection

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Reveal Home Inspection, LLC provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our, licensed, certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by the state of New Hampshire, ASHI and InterNACHI, the leading home inspection associations.

After we walk through the home together, we will personally explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

FAQ.

Day of Inspection

Should I walk around the house with you?

Absolutely, we’re happy to have you come and observe the process. There will be times where we need to focus and evaluate, but feel free to tag along and ask questions. This is where our “2-Person Inspection” system has a big advantage over a single inspector.

Can my agent be there too?

Yes! Agents are encouraged to be there and be engaged so they can know what they’re writing up in your Repair Request Addendum.

When Can I Pay You?

Payment can be made on line through our secure Authorize.net system, on the phone prior to or at the time of the inspection. The inspection report is sent once payment is made.

The Report

What should I be looking for?

Our reports have lots of images to help you recall what you’re looking at. We break down our reports into areas that are safety hazards and other recommended items to fix/ask for.

The summary will be the most helpful area of the report, right at the top.

Will there be recommendations on who to call?

With each defect we include which type of contractor you will need to search for to get quotes.

When will I receive my report?

Reports are generally delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. In some circumstances it’s same day or within 48 hours. This will be discussed and agreed upon during the inspection…no surprises!

Follow-up

Can I call you if I have questions after the I get the report?

Absolutely. This is one of our favorite parts. Call, text or email.

Contractors

Can you give me some preferred contractors to call?

We have a few contractors that we’ve worked with in the past that we can recommend. We still recommend you contact at least 3 in each area for quotes and do your own research.
