What to Expect From Your Inspection

If you are in need of a home inspection in the Northeast North Carolina or the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, Pinnacle Home Inspections is here to help. Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or you just are interested in a home inspection to ensure proper maintenance of your current home, you can trust us to deliver excellent services.

Our licensed, certified home inspectors are always here to help, and ensure that you are aware of any potential issues with your current home, or a home that you’re interested in purchasing.

We’re focused on education, and our goal is to provide you with all of the information you need about the property in question, and its overall condition. We welcome our clients to walk through the home with us and to ask any questions they may have throughout the inspection process.

Pinnacle Home Inspections has a thorough, multi-point checklist that ensures that no stone is left unturned, and we will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after your inspection is complete.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive Binsr report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of our findings, and including images, references and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format, so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.
