| RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS |
This inspection usually comes after a contract is accepted, prior to close. Most buyers have a set time limit in which to have an inspection completed.
Skyline Home Inspection offers you prompt inspections, with comprehensive, narrative reports that incorporate numerous digital photos, emailed to you within 24 hours. You also receive an attractive 3-ring binder with your full color report, along with supplemental informative materials.

| NEW CONSTRUCTION |
If you are building a new home, this inspection is critical as we focus on the inevitable errors and omissions that occur during months of construction by laborers of varying experience and language. We not only look for structural issues, but many cosmetic and "fit and finish" items that are often overlooked as the home nears completion.
Skyline Home Inspection will be your outside, objective set of eyes. Not only will the home be thoroughly inspected and the comprehensive, narrative report provided, we also create a "punch list" of items that you may wish to have corrected prior to closing. These items will be detailed in your report; however, the punch list gives a summarized listing of major, and minor, items. Don't wait until you move in to notice things that should have been corrected, and are now your responsibility. |

What Will I Learn From a Home Inspection? |
You’ll learn what is really going on in this house. Many times when someone chooses to put an offer on a house, the decision is based on location, price and how attractive or functional the house is. It’s been said that the decision to purchase a home is made within the first 30 seconds, and that many buyers put less time into choosing a house than into choosing a video to watch. It’s lots of fun to imagine where your furniture will go, but not so much to imagine flooding or roof repairs. |
