The first step in getting your home up to its optimum performance level is to evaluate the current condition of your home and all of its systems. A thorough evaluation is recommended for any home, no matter what age or size. We will identify deficiencies in the structure and performance of your home as well as potential health and safety hazards that need to be addressed. Our Home Evaluation is a comprehensive visual inspection of your home from top to bottom, inside and out for up to six levels of concentration. It includes:
- Level 1: General Inspection
- A complete inspection of your home’s systems and performance.
- Level 2: Earthquake Preparedness
- An examination of your home’s earthquake vulnerabilities.
- Level 3: Fire Safety and Prevention
- A complete check for potential fire hazards in your home.
- Level 4: Energy Audit
- An optional appraisal of your home’s energy inefficiencies.
- Level 5: Child Safety
- An optional level to assess the childproofing needs of your home.
- Level 6: Senior / ADA Services
- An optional level to determine the available conveniences for the disabled.
A Home Evaluation takes an average of 2-4 hours to complete depending on the size of your home and the extent of the evaluation. A typical evaluation will cover the first three levels essential for every household, and any of the optional levels as they apply to your home and family’s specific needs. Once the Home Evaluation is complete and the results are compiled, we will generate a full report of our findings and outline the areas of your home that require immediate attention.
A full Home Evaluation is important in making you aware of potential problems, helping you better understand your home as an investment, and assessing the need for future repairs and maintenance to keep your investment protected and worthwhile. Completing a Home Evaluation and any recommended repairs will give you peace of mind and keep you safer and more comfortable in your home.
