Knowledge is power, and all homes have strengths and weaknesses. Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a Realtor, it’s always a wise idea to have a professional pre-listing home inspection. Compass Property Inspections help you understand the level of severity of the problems; showcasing which problems must be immediately addressed versus which items can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiating the sale of your home.
Construction Services – New or Renovations
In a new home, the quality of construction can vary from job-site to job-site, therefore we provide buyers with periodic reviews of their construction during various stages of the process including: foundation, framing, window installation and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unexpected costly issues post-construction, and ensures the quality of your home before a final purchase. Providing periodic inspections throughout the process helps ensure a thorough cross-check of the work being performed.
