What Can I Expect From a Home Inspection?

Whether you’re new to the Houston area or this is your first home-buying experience, you may be wondering what’s typical at a home inspection from Bryan & Bryan Inspections. This question often goes unasked in the hustle of the real estate market, but we wish more people would ask!

Knowing in advance what you can expect at a home inspection not only helps you in hiring a home inspector, but it also prepares you for what kind of information you may or may not get in the inspection report. That inspection report is an important document as you decide how to proceed with the home-buying process.

When you choose Bryan & Bryan Inspections for your home inspection, you know that we give a complete visual inspection of the following areas of the house:

1. Foundation & Other Exterior Structural Conditions

2. Roof

3. Attic Area

4. Interior & Exterior Windows & Doors
