Best Home Inspectors near Okotoks, AB

For most of us, buying a home is the most significant personal investment we will make during the course of our lifetime. Having the home inspected prior to purchasing provides the assurance and peace of mind you need when you need it most. A home inspection can identify minor issues that the buyer can take care of themselves, request the seller repair prior to sale, or request a reduction equivalent to the cost to repair or replace. Alternatively, a home inspection may discover significant damage or safety and health concerns that would discourage the buyer from moving forward with the sale. Additionally, most mortgage companies require a home inspection on the property before approving the loan.

The averaged sized, single-family home with a garage usually takes between 2 and 2.5 hours to complete the site inspection. The older, larger, and more complex the home is, the longer the inspection will take. The report will typically require about the same amount of time to prepare and is usually available that same day or within 24 hours.

You do not need to be present for the home inspection, but we always encourage our clients to attend, so the inspector can point out issues first hand and provide recommendations and corrective actions. The best home inspectors work on your behalf and will always take the time to answer all your questions and make sure you fully understand the issues identified. Inspection Professionals Ltd. is dedicated to the complete satisfaction of our clients and will address all questions and concerns, point out the location of the issues identified, and recommend corrective actions during our inspections. We will also take the time to show you how to properly operate and maintain the home and locations of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, water and gas shutoff valves, and more. If you cannot attend the inspection, we will call you after the inspection and discuss our findings with you. We are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have for as long as you own the home.

Identifying significant issues is what a home inspection is all about.
