When you hire us to do your home inspection, either through your realtor or on your own, we strive to offer the best customer experience possible. Our goal is to perform a thorough quality inspection and point out all issues that we find. Typically our process is very straight forward.
Obtaining a Quote
We strive to respond to all texts and emails within a few hours, so if you contact Wightman Inspection Group, you will get a response quickly. When we quote a property, it helps to send over the address so that we can research the home and find out how large it is, if there is a crawl space, the age of the home, etc. The more factors we know helps us estimate how long the inspection will take, and that is how we determine pricing.
Scheduling the Inspection
We try hard to fit every inspection into our schedule in a timely manner. If there is an important date it helps if you let us know that so that we can work with you to get the home inspection done as quickly as you need.
Should the home buyer attend the inspection?
It is always a good idea to follow up after the inspection to get the important information. After each inspection a detailed report will be sent to you, as well as the realtor if there is one involved. If you would like to come at the end of the inspection, Tanner is happy to talk you through any issues that he found. Just let him know you’d like to meet and he will let you know what time you should show up. Follow up calls after the inspection report is sent is always OK as well, we want you to have all the information from the inspection.
At the inspection
The standard home inspector’s report will cover the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and structural components. Tanner has a long history in the construction and building industry, so you can trust that he knows what he is looking at when he inspects a home. Everything item inspected is always photographed and detailed in the report that you will receive.
Timing
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection taking place. Often times we are able to get the report out much sooner, but we will discuss the timing of when to expect the report so that you aren’t kept waiting. We will communicate with you through each step of the process.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our inspection services.
