Carlsbad Home Inspection

Why hire a Carlsbad Home Inspector?

Hiring a Home Inspector in Carlsbad gives the buyer another chance to review their decision before buying their home.  Home sellers would rather sell the house without the home inspection contingency. Yet, nearly three out of four home purchases are contingent upon a professional home inspection.

Hiring a home inspector costs approximately $400 dollars. The ROI (return on investment) in hiring a home inspector is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of dollars the buyer can save. We often find needed repairs costing upwards of $3000.

Why is a Carlsbad Home Inspection a vital step in the purchase process?

The reason so many Real Estate Professionals advise their clients obtain one is simple. With a professional home inspection, if there is something really wrong with the home, buyers can either renegotiate or cancel the deal and quite often, get their earnest money returned.

Hiring an experienced home inspector doesn’t need to be difficult. And, considering a home inspection is able to be booked within a few short minutes via a phone call, the value received is far beyond the investment. We have Carlsbad home inspectors near you who are ready to help. Call now to answer any further questions about the process and book our home inspection services immediately.

What is a Carlsbad Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a visual inspection of a house and its major systems. It should be conducted only by a qualified professional. A home inspection is advisable before purchasing a home, and may save you thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, in the near or not-so-distant future.

What to Expect in a Home Inspection Report

In a home inspection report, the following items will be examined, evaluated and reported:

  • exterior features, siding, porches, eaves, fences, walls, steps, sidewalks, driveways, railings, balconies
  • structural components, foundation, framework, grading, drainage
  • roof, shingles, skylights, Solatubes
  • electrical systems, breakers, fuses, service panels
  • heating and cooling systems, equipment, venting
  • interior features, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, hardware, windows, stairs, stair railings
  • fireplaces, chimney, vents
  • plumbing, pipes, drains, water heaters, sump pumps, disposals, major kitchen appliances
  • insulation, ventilation, vapor barriers, including in attic and basement
  • fire and smoke detectors

What Not to Expect

Home inspectors perform a visual inspection of what they can easily see and access. They will not examine things that are underground or within walls, nor anything that requires them to damage the house to investigate. A home inspection is not a warranty on the house. It does not review if a home is up to local building codes.

The average home inspection will not include the following items since many of these require special training and licensing.

  • hot tubs, swimming pools, wells
  • detached structures, such as garage, garden shed, or mother-in-law apartment
  • alarm systems
  • TV antenna or satellite dishes
  • termites or other pests
  • lawn sprinkler systems
  • environmental hazard reports, such as asbestos, lead, or radon
  • code compliance

Average Cost to Hire a Home Inspector in Carlsbad

The average cost of hiring a home inspector is just over $300. The price will vary depending on the size of the home, the age of the home, how long it takes to inspect, and if the inspector checks for any of the extra factors listed above that do not come automatically with the basic inspection.
