What is a thorough home inspection? A home inspected by Residential Inspection is an evaluation of the overall condition of a residential property, which is useful for both home buyers and home sellers, as well as  real estate professionals. It helps the parties to a home sale understand the functions of the various systems and components of the home,as well as the maintenance issues related to home ownership.

What is included in a Comprehensive Home Inspection?
