 A home inspection is a non-invasive inspection of a property, performed by a licensed or certified real estate inspector. 

The home inspector relies on his or her professional knowledge to rate the current condition of the home. It does not create a home warranty or guarantee future conditions, but can inform clients about issues with the home. The home inspection process is simple and straightforward, and ultimately checks the safety, operation, and condition of a home’s many components. 

At Home & Ranch Inspections, a licensed, professional real estate inspector will complete a detailed walk-through of the home, a thorough process that includes a top-to-bottom review of the physical structure, as well as the home’s mechanical and electrical systems — including roof, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, and doors. The home inspector will check major appliances’ functionality, along with heating and air-conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems, and will examine the attic and basement.
