Whether buying, selling, or maintaining your home, experience peace of mind from the moment you call us with our professional and quality service. More than an inspection, Pinewood Inspections’ ICA-certified inspectors conduct thorough home assessments according to the ASHI standards of practice to determine the functionality and safety of the home and its mechanical systems. Buying a home is a big decision, and our inspectors will walk you through the house, empowering you with the essential knowledge and assurance to make informed and confident decisions.
After our inspection, we will explain the home’s general condition and discuss any significant issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items you want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. Can’t attend the inspection? No worries! All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and PDF format. From that report, you can see the items we mentioned, with images for reference, and we can review the report with you over the phone.
Below is an overview of the components we inspect during our home assessment.
