Services

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof. HomeSentry Inspections is not a licensed roofing contractor. We are certified Nachi inspectors and inspecting the roof is part of your home inspection. We do sometimes separate the roof when we deliver the report. Oftentimes clients or realtors  have already had a licensed roofing contractor inspect the roof and they do not want a redundant roof assesment included in home inspection report. We do highly recommend that a potential buyer get their roof inspected and certified by a licensed roofing contractor. Your roof is one of the most vital components of your home and a certification would be a great idea!!

Remember call a licensed roofing contractor if you are wanting a roof certification or a bid for work to be performed. Nachi inspectors are allowed to give a speculative estimate of what different types of roof repairs or replacements could cost.

Out next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, our services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — at no extra charge!
