Why a home inspection?

An inspector performs a visual assessment of the physical condition of the home's systems and components.  The inspection report will provide you with the information needed to make an informed buying decision.  Reasons may be provided on why a system or component is deficient and recommendations to correct or monitor the deficiency.  I strongly encourage all of my clients to get an inspection report.

B.K Home Inspections promises to deliver an impartial physical evaluation of the home at the time of inspection; this is not an appraisal.  Our computer generated report provides a thorough overview of the home and includes a reference portfolio.

The inspection includes a complete visual inspection of the home.  Our inspection will cover all major home systems including roof, foundation, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, interior and exterior.  A report will be computer generated on site, and includes digital color photographs, summary, additional resources and will be presented in a reference portfolio.  We encourage our clients to attend the inspection, please allow 2-3 hours for the inspection.
