  As a licensed North Carolina home inspector I will give you an experienced, unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the physical structure of the house and various systems within the house, an expert opinion and professionally prepared, detailed report.
  I will conduct a visual and physical inspection of the home to collect information on the condition of the home. The inspection process typically takes about 2-3 hours to complete; however, this amount of time can vary depending on the size and condition of the home.
  I strongly encourage you to accompany me during the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home. If you can’t be at the home inspection for the entire time, try to come at the end of the inspection if possible. This will allow us to review and discuss any issues or problems discovered during the inspection and cover any questions you may have. This is also a great time to discuss maintenance requirements for your new home. Typically, you will receive your written pdf inspection report by email within one (1) business day.
  Your home is a group of systems which function together. I will inspect each of the following systems (if applicable):
