Services We Provide

Pre-Purchase Inspections
- Learn about the property you are purchasing. When you are making what is likely the
largest investment of your life, you should know as much as possible about what you are buying.  That's why it's
smart to have your future home inspected before you make your purchase.  Most purchase contracts contain
provisions for a home inspection to be performed within a certain time frame, and sometimes they specify what
action the buyer and seller may take if problems are uncovered.
You should make every effort to be present during the inspection so that you will have an opportunity to ask
questions and see first-hand what we look at.  You will receive an inspection report with descriptions, and  
photographs, of any problems with the home.
What components are inspected?
*Lots & Grounds, *Roof, *Exterior surfaces, *Garage, *Attic, *Bathrooms, *Electrical, *Fireplace, *Kitchen,
*Structural components, *Heating system, *Air conditioning, *Plumbing, *Tile, Flooring,
*Windows and Doors, *Interior rooms, *Basement/Crawlspace, *And more

New Home Construction Inspection

It is a good idea for you to have your new home inspected before you purchase.
A new home inspection is a general, visual inspection of the house and its major systems: structure, plumbing,
electric, heating and cooling, general interior, insulation, ventilation, siding, windows, doors, roofs and attached
garages. A WDO or wood destroying organism section is included in the report.
Some common defects I look for in a new home inspection are, collapsed duct work, improper floor support, cut roof
trusses, improper installation of flashing's, debris left in the crawlspace, etc. Also you may have noticed things, or
have specific concerns you would like for me to look at.
My report is generated with the newest technology and is delivered by email the same day. Some inspectors print
reports on-sight but I believe that I can make a better report for you when I have a couple of hours to sit down and
collect my thoughts, look at the photos, etc.

Construction Phase Inspection

A Construction Phase Inspection is intended to provide a review of the visible building systems. This is a phased
construction inspection that visually examines the building under construction at five separate milestone events.
These inspections evaluate the quality, workmanship and execution of the design and construction. This inspection
does not review the design features, detailing, dimensions or layout. The milestone events are:

•        
Foundation Phase: Foundation layout, footings, perimeter walls, re-bar, supports and materials             
•        
Rough Framing Phase: Framing layout, connections, materials and execution                                        
•        
Pre-Drywall Phase: Insulation, utility connections, rough electrical and plumbing, exterior sheathing  
•        
Post-Drywall Phase: Visual inspection of mechanical, electrical, structure, plumbing systems.             
•        
Final Visual inspection: of mechanical, electrical, structure, plumbing systems to see if any negative  
changes have occurred over the previous months after the Final Inspection.                        
Note: Final Phase Inspection does not take the place of the Builders Punch List. Inside Outside Home Inspection,
LLC will not perform a Punch List Inspection due to its subjective nature –wall colors, trim patterns, and cosmetic
details tend to be the focus of this inspection. These details should be reviewed and approved in advance with the
Architect/Builder.
Construction Phase Inspections usually total about $1200.00

Neighborhood Environmental Report™

The Report is a quick and easy way to check for environmental issues that
might be on the property or in the surrounding area and may indicate a cause
for concern.
It looks for a property’s proximity to things like:

�� Leaking Underground Storage Tanks
�� Landfills
�� Hazardous Waste Sites
�� “Superfund” sites *
�� Department of Defense Sites
�� “Meth Labs”
Running a report on the property is simple and can help you make more
informed decisions about the home you are considering. In the majority of
cases it will not find any significant issues that would keep you from
purchasing the home. What it will do is help you to be aware of the condition
of the property and its surroundings and leave you secure in knowing that
your investment and your family are protected.
In the event that an issue is uncovered, it’s in everybody’s best interest to
know. The report costs only $150, a relatively small price to pay for the
peace of mind it delivers.

* “Superfund” sites are contaminated sites that are the EPA’s “worst of the worst” and are
designated as a priority for clean up
