Our Process

  • Pre-Inspection

    A pre-inspection agreement must be signed by both Pinnacle Home Inspections LLC and the client (provided by Pinnacle Home Inspections), a time and date of the inspection must be agreed upon and payment must be made on behalf of the client.

  • Leading up to the Inspection

    All utilities should be turned on previous to the inspection taking place (electric, water, gas, etc.) as a full inspection may not be completed if one or more of these utilities is turned off at the time of inspection.

  • The Inspection

    Home inspections are a non-instrusive investigation of systems and conditions pertaining to the safety and quality of a living space. Clients should expect the inspection walkthrough to last approximately four hours. (This timing will vary with the size of the home and variables encountered.)

  • Reporting

    After the inspection, every effort is made to have the report completed and sent to the client within 24 hours, however, some circumstances demand a longer report time. Pinnacle Home Inspections understands timing is paramount for many real estate transactions.
