Residential Home Inspections
What to expect from your inspection.
Our average home inspection lasts 3 to 4 hours. At the end of the inspection, we will take time to review our preliminary report, answer any immediate questions and have a full report available within hours. After receiving the written report, we are always available to answer additional questions either over the phone, Zoom Meeting or in person.
If you are new to home ownership, we will take time to explain how to properly maintain the various components that make up your home. We are certain that you won’t find a more thorough home inspection and follow-up service. That is the VALUE of a Brink Home Inspection.
