The Added Value of a General Home Inspection

Everyone agrees to the importance of getting a home inspection performed on a home you intend to purchase. The home inspector will examine all of the major mechanicals of the home, inspect its foundation, roof and overall condition. What many don't understand, is that a good inspector will also educate buyers about the non-essential components of the house. The inspection is a great learning opportunity where an inspector will provide tips about general upkeep and repair that should be performed regularly to keep the home in tip-top shape. Money spent for a home inspection is money well-spent.
