Standard Home Inspections

The purpose of a home inspection is not just to protect your investment, but also to protect you and your family. Shoreline Home Inspections understands this and takes their profession very seriously. Their knowledge and experience play a crucial role in the decision-making process. Every real estate transaction should include a home inspection, because it is the best way to educate and protect everyone involved.

Pre-Listing Inspections

For Sellers and Selling Realtors; No one likes to be caught off guard, especially when they are selling their biggest asset! Having your home inspected before you list it is the best way to be as informed as possible.

Don’t wait for a buyer to tell you what they think is wrong. Take control of repair negotiations and fix deficiencies before listing. You don't want to be disappointed by last-minute repairs and closing delays. An easy-to-understand detailed report from Shoreline Home Inspections will help you get the most out of your investment. 

New Home Warranty Inspections

Before your new home warranty expires, have your home inspected by a home inspector. Our inspectors will inspect your home's structure, mechanical and electrical systems for defects and other issues.

The New Home Warranty covers most items during the first 12 to 24 months. If problems are not reported and documented before the warranty expires, the builder will not address them. Defects are often overlooked or missed by homeowners because they are not trained in defect recognition. An experienced home inspector can help you here.

Home Maintenance Inspections

Home Maintenance Inspections are for homeowners who want to educate themselves, identify any safety concerns and protect their biggest investment!

1. Be able to financially plan for future updates/ repairs/ renovations
2. Be able to hire the correct service contractors and have them do more cost efficient work with fewer house calls.
3. Know what work needs to be done by a third party (that’s us!)  so service contractors do not over bill you or do work that is unneeded.
4. Have a “snapshot” in time of your property’s current condition, so if future issues arise you will be able to prove there is a change or new deficiency and not neglect.

Our inspection will provide you with a complete list of items that require immediate attention, things that should be dealt with soon, and things that should be noted, but are not urgent. We will also comment on best maintenance practices for the property and recommended upgrades.

Renovation Deficiency Inspections

 We can assess a renovation job near or after completion to make sure things have been done correctly. We will provide a report that will detail the current condition, areas to be finished,  improvements to be made and note any bad practices or poor workmanship. 

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is included with every home inspection. Thermal imaging uses infra-red technology to perform a scan of all surface temperatures. This can be a very useful means of finding problems in a home. Thermal imaging is used to find insulation deficiencies, water leaks, electrical hot spots, and test the heating system.
