Dash Home Inspection

No home is perfect, not even your dream home. You need to know exactly what you are buying when you spend all that money. Don’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars only to discover your new home has expensive problems. Or, worse yet, problems that can’t be fixed. We can make sure that doesn’t happen in two simple steps. First, schedule your home inspection before you close on your loan. Then hire me for the best home inspection in Martinsburg, WV, or anywhere else in the 4-State area.

I provide the most professional, complete, and accurate assessment you can find. I thoroughly check a home’s major features, including the foundation, roof, walls, attic, basement, plumbing, electrical system, garage, and large appliances. You can even come along with me for a guided walkthrough to gain a complete understanding of the home’s condition.

You don’t want any nasty surprises when trying to sell your home. Hidden problems can lurk behind walls. A seller’s home inspection lets you know the exact condition of your home before it’s listed. You’re not obligated to fix anything but the buyer can walk away if they’re not satisfied. You don’t want to go into the buyer’s home inspection blind and risk killing a deal. It’s better to know ahead of time if your house has any defects worth fixing.

Getting a pre-listing inspection can help you get your asking price. Put the report on the table when buyers visit. Show them what you’ve fixed and provide receipts. This will give peace of mind to both seller and buyer and speed up the sale of the home.

A Pre-drywall inspection should be completed prior to the insulation installation, but after ALL trades have completed their “ROUGH-IN” portion of the project and before you meet with the builder for the buyer’s inspection.  This way you will have the report on hand to discuss with the builder any findings.

I also include 360° photos of every room with the report. You will always know what is behind the walls.

Buying or building new construction is miles apart from walking into a resale home. At Dash Home Inspection, we perform inspections on newly constructed homes in Charles Town WV and surrounding areas. We’ve seen how troubling it is for new homeowners moving into new construction that did not go through a thorough inspection.

A home is like a jigsaw puzzle made up of thousands of components put together by different teams. It is a complex endeavor involving many people that are split into sub-contractor groups, each working on certain areas of the new home. Great builders do exist, but it is also nearly impossible to complete the build of a new home without missing something.

Getting a builder’s warranty inspection before the end of the first year in your newly constructed home can save you a lot of money. You may not see any trouble, but statistics show most problems in 5 to 20-year-old homes begin in the first year of occupancy. Building materials often expand and contract with weather changes, and the new construction will move and settle over time. We can spot those hidden defects.

The builder is responsible for repairs to your home while it’s still under warranty. And the cost of warranty repairs has already been calculated into the purchase price of your home. In reality, you have already paid for any needed repairs. It will cost much less to get an inspection now than to pay for big problems out of your pocket in the future.

Whether you are looking to purchase in our 4-State area for NEW or existing homes for sale, it’s the same across the board.  An inspection is completely necessary!
