FAQ

What to expect from your general residential inspection

What should I expect during the inspection?

+

Plan for roughly 2–4 hours on site. We arrive on time, perform a methodical walk-through of every accessible system in scope, document findings with photos, and finish with a verbal summary of the most important issues. You're welcome — and encouraged — to attend so we can answer questions in real time.

When and how will I receive my report?

+

Your digital report is delivered within 24 hours of inspection completion. It's a photo-rich PDF you can open on any device, share with your agent or lender, and use as a punch list for negotiation or repairs. We're available for a follow-up call to walk through any finding you'd like clarified.

How do I schedule, and how much notice do you need?

+

Book online through our contact page or call 205.775.7778. We typically schedule within 2–4 business days, with same-week and weekend availability when possible. Rush scheduling can usually be accommodated — just let us know your closing date.

What do I need to provide or prepare?

+

Confirmed access to the property (lockbox code, agent meet-up, or seller approval) and any prior inspection reports or builder documentation if available. For occupied homes, ask that pets be secured and access to the attic, electrical panel, and water heater is clear. Payment is collected at the time of inspection.

Do you serve my area?
