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

    Once the inspection is completed, the report is due to the client within three days, per N.C. Standards of Practice, but every effort is made to have the report completed and sent to the client within 24 hours.
