When you have a Home Inspection performed by a reputable company (such as Jersey Shore Home Inspection, Inc. ) the services provided are valuable to uncover Deficiencies you would not have known about otherwise.

Typically when buying a home, you’re only spending 15-20 minutes looking around before putting in your offer. That’s why your contract has a special provision to allow you to have a Home Inspection within a specific period of time.
( Be sure you know this time frame – ask your attorney. )

Let me give you a new example of surprises and serious problems noted during Our Inspections.
During this inspection we noted an unusual situation concerning a converted partial garage into an interior room. Since home inspections are not code inspections, we were not concerned with these issues -- but glaring dangers stood out clearly ( of course because we experienced to find these these dangers )

First in the crawl space gas lines and electric wires were installed improperly and dangerously leading to this room. This directed us to check all the aspect of this room more carefully.

Upon entering the interior room, NO windows that opened were installed for proper fire egress. The only door here lead to the garage which had the furnace and water heater ( good sources of fire hazards ).

To top all the above found the loose gas lines lead to a gas fireplace installed inside this room near the exit door.

We do not know whether permits or codes were used to complete this room, but all obvious signs point to dangers.

The point here is don’t be fooled by the appearance of the home, attend the Inspection and be sure to follow the inspector 100% of the time & ask questions.

This is why we have been in business for over 12 years.
Most of our clients are either repeat and / or referral business.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE SUCCESS STORIES.
