Q. Who is qualified to perform a home inspection?
There is no one background that fully trains an inspector for all the different conditions that may exist in a home. Regardless of their technical background or licensing, all home inspectors should be formally trained to perform a home inspection by one of four New Jersey State accredited schools, thus insuring their knowledge of the home inspection process. Make sure the inspector has access to on-going technical support and offers you post-inspection advice if needed.

Q. The house has problems now what do I do?
Not even a new home is perfect. If problems are identified, it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't buy, only that you will know in advance what to expect. A seller may adjust the purchase price or contract terms if major problems are found. If your budget is tight, or if you don't wish to become involved in future repair work, this information will be extremely important to you.

Q. What types of homes do you inspect?
We inspect one and two family homes, multiple family homes, homes of all sizes: Co-ops, Condos and apartments.

Q. What is the Pre-Inspection Agreement?
The Pre-Inspection Agreement explains the services and limitations of a home inspection. All clients must sign the agreement prior to each inspection.

Q. What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of a structure. Having a home inspected is like having a physician giving a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation.

Q. What is included in a home inspection?
You will receive a printed report, approximately 15 to 30 pages long. Our report (see Aggressive Inspections sample report) will review the condition of the home's heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and all other visible and accessible areas of the building.

Q. How long does an inspection take?
The average 1 family house inspection takes 2.5 - 3.5 hours. This is all dependant on the size of the property and ease of movement throughout the building.

Q. What are my costs?
See Pricing.

Q. How do I schedule an inspection?
C You can call (973 715-9375) or fill out the appointment form today for an inspection as early as tomorrow. Home inspections need to be preformed prior to sunset. Regular business hours are weekdays and weekends from 8 a.m. - 7 p.m.
 

Q. Do  I have to be at the inspection?
YES..   Make every effort to attend and ask questions during the inspection. Although it is not necessary for you to be present for the inspection, it is strongly recommended. You will be able to observe the inspector and ask questions directly. You will also find the printed report easier to understand if you've seen the property first-hand with the inspector.

Q. Why do I need a home inspection?
A home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property before you buy it. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase.

Q. When do I get my report?
We recognize that our clients have the need to be provided with their inspection immediately. Aggressive can accommodate this request through technology. But we strongly recommend not going this route. Carpenters have a saying "measure twice cut once".   We want to provide our clients with the most accurate information we can.  Like the carpenter we believe in reviewing the report twice.  Normally we will have the report to you within 24 hours.

Q. Can a house fail an inspection?
No...  The home inspection is an examination of the current condition of your prospective home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value, or a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. The home inspector will describe its visible physical condition and indicate what may need repair or replacement.
