Trusted Home Inspection Services
Residential Inspections
Whether you’re buying or selling a home, a professional inspection helps uncover hidden issues and provides clarity before you make major decisions. Our residential inspections deliver a thorough evaluation of the home’s major systems and components.
Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection helps sellers identify potential concerns before listing, allowing time for repairs and reducing surprises during buyer negotiations. This proactive approach can lead to smoother transactions and increased buyer confidence.
New Construction Inspections
Newly constructed homes still require an independent, third-party inspection. We evaluate workmanship, materials, and installation quality to help identify defects or omissions that could impact a home’s performance, safety, or long-term durability.
Pre-Drywall Inspections
Pre-drywall inspections allow critical structural, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components to be evaluated before they’re concealed. This inspection helps catch issues early—when corrections are easiest and least expensive.
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
While JRL Home Inspections encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.
Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.
How much does a home inspection cost?
The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!
How long does a home inspection take?
Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
Should I attend the inspection?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
