Residential Inspection Services

RC Inspect provides comprehensive residential property inspection services with the goal of education in mind. By delivering a thorough, unbiased look into a property’s condition we can provide you with reliable information to empower the decision-making process.

Services Offered

Buyer

You should always enter the home buying process fully informed and confident in your choice. Our licensed inspectors will perform a thorough analysis of the home’s visible & readily accessible components. Your report will notate any deficiencies found within the home and the inspector will be available to answer your questions.

Pre-Listing (Seller)

An important component to selling a home is ensuring its readiness for listing. Our licensed inspectors will perform a thorough analysis of the home’s visible & readily accessible components. By completing this inspection, you will be aware of the home’s weaknesses to allow you the opportunity for remediation prior to listing or to provide transparency throughout the selling process.

New Construction

When purchasing a new construction home, it is advised to have the property inspected prior to the builder’s final walkthrough. Our inspectors will perform the same analysis as a buyer or seller inspection. We encourage your attendance so that you may place painter’s tape on items that may not appear in the report but that you would want the builder to amend.

New Construction Phased

Having a new home inspected at intervals during the construction process provides the ability for mistakes, defects and safety concerns to be captured. This gives the builder an opportunity to rectify issues with minimal schedule delays or cost impacts. The property will be inspected at three stages: pre-concrete pour, pre-drywall, and before the builder’s final walkthrough. Assessing the home at these three intervals allows for a deeper look into the structural and mechanical components of a home.

Warranty

Upon buying a new home, most builders offer a warranty in which many repairs will be performed at no additional cost to the homeowner. Due to settling and use, a home may present with defects that were either not present or visible upon move-in. It is recommended to complete an inspection four to six weeks prior to the expiration of your warranty. Our inspector will complete a thorough analysis of the home in which you will be able to provide a comprehensive list to your builder.

Waterfront

When owning or looking to purchase a waterfront property, there are most often outdoor amenities that need to be considered. Our inspectors will not only perform a thorough analysis of the home but also of boat and jet ski lifts, docks, piers, and bulkheads.

Farm & Ranch

In addition to the main home, barns, stables, workshops, barndominiums, well & septic, other outbuildings, and fence lines are a few areas of consideration for a farm or ranch property. RC Inspect will work with you to determine which, if not all, areas you would like inspected.

Log Cabin

As certified log home inspectors, we can spot the unique technicalities and intricacies that are posed with a log home. Wood rot, log sealant, settling, and maintenance are areas of significance that are scrutinized.
