Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I need a home or commercial inspection?

A: The purchase and maintenance of any property is a major investment. It is expensive to buy and can be very expensive to repair. It should be certified as a physically safe and sound investment. Many organizations recommend you have a thorough inspection before buying any property.

Q: Why should I use you instead of someone else?

A: Our goal is to remain THE BEST inspection service in the region! We are very good at what we do and pride ourselves on our knowledge and customer service. We are impartial and work only for you! We are proud to receive many non-Realtor as well as Realtor referrals.

Q: My home is new and/or under warranty.

Should I still get a home inspection? A: All homes should receive a thorough inspection from an independent, knowledgeable inspector to identify maintenance and safety issues. Even a brand new house is not necessarily without defects. We recommend you have Garding Home Inspection Services provide a complete inspection as part of your final walk through -- before you release payments to your builder. We also recommend you have a timely inspection before the expiration of any warranties.

Q: My new home had a code inspection. Is there a difference between a code inspection and a home inspection?

A: Yes, there is a difference! A code inspection is to insure compliance with governmental and non-governmental codes or regulations. Building codes and regulations change over time and vary by geographic location. A code inspection is typically a 3-phase inspection. The 1st inspection will look at the footings and sometimes the foundation walls. The 2nd inspection reviews basic mechanicals and framing. The 3rd inspection is a walk-through after all the finished products are in place (carpeting, drywall, etc.). Each code inspection lasts on average from 10-20 minutes.

Q: Do you provide Code Inspections? A: No.

The GARDING HOME INSPECTION Report should not be construed as a compliance inspection for any governmental or non-governmental codes or regulations. Q: How long does a home inspection take? A: Unlike code inspections, the typical home inspection will last 3-4 hours. It tests door and window operations, weather-stripping, polarity in outlets, water volume, heating and air conditioning operations and so much more, as noted above.

Q: How much does a home inspection cost?

A: Our inspection fees are based on property size, age and location. Our licensing, insurance, continuing education, computers, follow-up service and membership in professional organizations are reflected in the price, but more importantly increase the quality and value of the inspection you receive. Buying or building a home is a major investment. The inspection cost is a small fraction of the cost of the home or of the cost of major repairs. Protect yourself and your investment with the best inspection.

Q: Does GARDING HOME INSPECTION SERVICES check for mold?

A: No, we don't perform mold testing. We inspect for visual signs of mildew, or "mold-like" substances, but we don't make the determination of mold extent or exposure level. Proper mold testing is a specialized service requiring special education, training and equipment (surface sampling, interior wall sampling, microscopes, etc). Mold inspections and evaluations are best performed by professionally trained and licensed companies specializing in that area.

Q: I would like my Client to attend the inspection. Is this OK?

A: A definite YES! We encourage all customers to attend our inspections. We consider our inspections to be educational sessions for our customers. We recommend you attend the entire inspection. If you can't attend the entire 3-4 hour inspection, we recommend you come at the end to receive a summary from your inspector.

Q: Do mobile homes need inspections, too?

A: Yes! A mobile home requires a review of plumbing, mechanicals and all the other elements of a stick-built home. The inspector will also crawl under the mobile home and look for leakages, loose wires and more. Even though a mobile home may not cost as much as a traditional home, it is still a major investment for its owner. It may need expensive repairs or have safety issues. GARDING HOME INSPECTIN SERVICES provides inspections of mobile homes.

Q: I work until 3:30-4:00PM but would like to attend the entire inspection.

A: We will try to accommodate your schedule. If you can't attend the entire inspection, the inspector can summarize his findings with you at the end of the inspection. He will make certain you understand all the findings of the inspection.

Q: Can you make repairs for me?

A: No. We are independent of any financial interest in the purchase, sale, closing, repair or maintenance of any subject properties. We can provide referrals to professionals who can help you with repairs. We don't receive any compensation for referrals. We provide referrals only to professionals with a reputation of providing quality work and customer service. Providing good referrals is part of our customer service.
