Reliable Home Inspection Service

At Reliable Home Inspection Service, we adhere to the strict standards set by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your property. Our inspections cover the entire building, as we believe that a thorough assessment is essential for your peace of mind. Please note that we do NOT offer partial inspections or on specific areas, such as basement or electrical systems. If you require a targeted inspection, we recommend reaching out to a specialized contractor or service provider who can better meet your needs.

Regarding re-inspections on homes: a reinspection on a property Reliable Home Inspections has recently performed can only be done if utilities (such as water, gas or electric) were not on at the initial inspection or if certain areas were not accessed. The inspector can complete a reinspection of these areas only for an additional fee. A reinspection cannot be performed to review or certify repairs made by the seller. We recommend having the seller provide receipts for all repairs made and have them provide a signed outline of all repairs they have completed and when.

A general home inspection typically takes between 2 1/2 to 3 hours, depending upon the size of the home.

Our staff will be able to provide you a more exact home inspection length upon booking your home inspection. Please note that some additional services i.e. Mold Testing also may increase the length of the inspection.
