What Does the Home Inspection Process Look Like?
Whether you’re in the process of buying, selling, or maintaining your home, ProShield Property Inspections is committed to delivering professional, high-quality service from your initial contact. Our certified home inspectors accompany you through your property, providing informative guidance tailored to your level of interest. Adhering strictly to the Standards of Practice established by InterNACHI, we ensure thoroughness and integrity in our inspections.
Following our collaborative walkthrough, we’ll discuss the overall condition of your home and its systems, addressing any immediate concerns and highlighting areas requiring attention in the future. Our detailed findings will be presented in a user-friendly Spectora report, available in HTML and/or PDF format, complete with images for reference, empowering you to make informed decisions about your property.
