Congratulations!
You either found the perfect house, are ready to sell your home, or need an inspection prior to the builder's warranty expiring.
So why do you need a home inspection?
The truth is, you don't. You have the right to walk through your [prospective] house, turn on the faucets, heat and/or air conditioning, make sure that the toilets flush, the locks work, the doors shut, and that there are no gaping holes in the walls, floors, and ceilings... But what about the things you cannot see?
Unfortunately, most states do not require that you have your potential investment inspected. But many homeowners will tell you that having a professional company perform your inspection is worth the time and money.
A home inspection educates you and gives you the opportunity to learn more about the overall condition of the house you want to purchase. Through the home inspection process, you get a better idea of some of the basic strengths and, more importantly, weaknesses that the house has to offer. You can then use this and other information to determine if the house meets your needs and situation. A home inspection is not a "Pass or Fail" test: it is a visual inspection of the house which includes suggestions for items that are not up to par.
Every Metro Capitol home inspection complies with the requirements set forth by the states of Maryland and Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and is performed by an inspector who is fully licensed, insured, and has passed the national home inspectors' exam.
