Home & Building Inspection & What to Expect

During your initial contact with HVHI, a client care coordinator will speak with you directly to determine the specifics of your home and property so that we can better determine what inspection services you need. We will schedule an inspection time, and you are invited to walk through the inspection with us.

Depending on the house or property size, a typical inspection will take about 2-3 hours. As indicated above, you are welcome to walk through the inspection with one of our professionals. We highly recommend this as it allows you to ask any questions you might have along the way. However, it is unnecessary because once the inspection is complete, you will receive a detailed report of all our notes on the house and property.

After the initial inspection, usually within 24 hours, HVHI will provide you with a detailed report that includes all of our notes and some photos of the property. It will give you an idea of what you need to keep an eye out for on the property or in the home.

A Home Inspection VS Other Types of Inspections

You may be confused by the difference between home and building inspectors.

A building inspector is a government employee working for the town, village, or city where your home or property is located. They do inspections of buildings and homes within their area to ensure that they are built according to code requirements.



A home inspector works for you, and their job is to reveal to buyers and sellers things in the home that could be potential trouble down the road. They identify any major repairs that are needed or any oversights made by the builder so that you can make a confident decision when it comes to buying or selling a home.
