WIN’s very comprehensive home inspection is for the client who would like a thorough analysis of most major details of the home. It is an inspection of the home’s major systems which caters to the client who is concerned not only with the systems that make the home habitable, but also provides a list of the many small items that may need attention after moving into the home. This visual home inspection includes over 300 items, from the foundation to the roof and all the major systems of the house including electrical, plumbing and heating/air conditioning.

CONDOMINIUM/TOWNHOME INSPECTION
Like houses, condos and townhouses should also be inspected before purchase. WIN’s extensive inspection of the condominium or townhouse interior reviews the structure, mechanical, and plumbing, electrical and heating/AC systems within the unit, along with any built-in appliances. This inspection takes the home inspector 1 to 2 hours to complete and will provide you with peace of mind in knowing that the unit is sound.

DUPLEX/MULTIPLEX INSPECTION
We provide comprehensive inspections for multi-unit properties (duplexes, multiplexes, etc.). Similar to a standard or extended full home inspection, this inspection reviews all visual aspects of the individual units of a property, as well as all shared major systems and structural components.

MANUFACTURED/MOBILE HOME INSPECTION
There are many aspects of manufactured and mobile homes that differ from a permanent residence. Similar to a standard or extended full home inspection, the home inspector reviews all visual aspects of all major systems and structural components of the home, as well as items specific to these types of homes including proper bracing and/or anchoring, permanent bolt-on systems and any towing, axles, or vehicular features.

PRE-LISTING INSPECTION
A WIN pre-listing home inspection provides you with comprehensive information on the current condition of your home and includes recommendations for property repairs and enhancements to improve the home’s value and marketability. You can work with your real estate agent to either decide which areas to improve before putting the house on the market, or to adjust the sale price to reflect any costs of repairs that would be revealed in a home inspection performed later by a potential home buyer during the contingency process. And if you’ve maintained and updated your home over the years, a pre-listing home inspection report serves as a valuable sales tool documenting the attention to detail and care you’ve taken in protecting your investment.

WIN’s pre-listing home inspection includes over 300 items, from the foundation to the roof and all the major systems of the house – electrical, plumbing and heating/air conditioning. The inspection takes the home inspector between 2 and 2 1/2 hours depending on the size of the home.

Items inspected include:

Foundation
Structure
Basement or crawl space
Interior and exterior walls
Siding
Water heater
Heating and air conditioning systems
Electrical system
Plumbing system and fixtures
Porches and decks
