BUILDING & PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
Why a Grassroots® Inspection? Purchasing a building and/or property is one of the biggest decisions of your life! It's crucial that you're fully aware of the condition of the major systems and components before you buy.
Your Grassroots® Inspection will examine your prospective building and/or property to assure you that the condition of the home meets with your approval before you close your real estate transaction. Make sure your professional Realtor and/or Lawyer include a clause that is subject to a Professional Inspection before you buy it. Also, be sure to ask about a Vendor Disclosure Statement, sometimes called a "Vendor Property Information Sheet".
Our residential & commercial inspections look at a number of different areas, and may include:
Structure -- roof, exterior walls, outbuilding interiors, foundation & basement, attic
Mechanical -- electrical systems, plumbing systems, heating & cooling systems, water heaters
Supplemental -- property & site, other exterior items, bedrooms, main living spaces, offices, kitchen(s), laundry rooms, bathroom(s), staircase(s), fireplace(s) and chimney(s), insulation, safety, termites/other insects, design & layout
Other areas may also be looked at depending on the property. Single purpose inspections are also provided upon request, for example, to inspect a roof only.
This program offers a method for existing homeowners to develop a "job jar" of items that require attention around the home. Purchasers of a home can also receive suggestions and tips from this.

We pride ourselves in providing a professional report that's second to none. It's a high quality computer generated report that's:
Easy to Read
Tells you the condition of the building and/or property in everyday language
Not Technical
Plus our report is really 3 reports in one!
Comprehensive Narrative Report -- this is not a checklist! It's a detailed written report about what you are purchasing.
An in-depth Characteristics Report -- identifies the major attributes and facts about the building and/or property.
A Report Card -- a snapshot ranking (from poor to excellent) of the features and systems.
And -- we also report on the many special features that make your purchase unique. The strengths are an integral part of our report.
In addition we provide you with a ballpark ESTIMATED COSTS associated with any major repairs or improvements.
