Although we do not perform engineering services, the education and background of our inspectors provides the client with the confidence that their new home purchase is free from any significant issues. Issues related to functionality of the home, related to plumbing, electrical, storm water drainage, etc. In addition, the primary purpose of home inspections is to identify safety hazards, which have the potential to harm residents or guests in the home.

During a scheduled home inspection, the PHI inspector will “observe and report” all conditions inside and outside the property, according to our company developed checklists, and according to published national standards. Our inspector will take photos of all checklist items, the “good and the bad“. Any issues related to ‘function’ or ‘safety’ will be highlighted in the report summary.

In addition to home inspections for existing houses/structures, Professional Home Inspections offers an additional service performing “punchlist walk-throughs” with clients for new construction. Refer to the Additional Services tab for more information.
