What We Look For
A home inspection is a very in-depth examination of a home for potential problems. An inspector’s job is to catalog and organize those problems in order to report them in an easy-to-understand manner. When All Points Inspections inspects your home, we look for any factor that might affect the health and safety of that home’s residents. We also include problems that might necessitate an expensive repair or replacement.
Among the major concerns we look for are fire hazards such as improperly insulated electrical wires, carbon monoxide leaks, and natural gas leaks. We also inspect several common sources of expensive repairs, such as the roof, furnace, appliances, plumbing, and water heaters in each home.
Focus on the Family
At All Points Inspections, our focus is on the residents of the home first and foremost. Even if the home seller is our client, our primary concern is for the people who will end up living in the home. We understand that real estate agents, sellers, and even buyers want the sale to go through. However, it doesn’t serve anyone if potential issues are glossed over.
That’s why, no matter how innocent-looking an item may be, everything we find goes into our report, and everything in our report gets explained in detail—every time. Our inspectors have the experience to help our clients and their Realtors distinguish between minor issues and significant concerns, ensuring a transparent and informed decision-making process.
Helping Homebuyers
All Points Inspections puts particular emphasis on helping first-time home buyers understand what they’re getting into, but anyone buying or selling a home will benefit profoundly from our services. We understand that even the perfect home has imperfections. All Points Inspections' job is to ensure that both buyer and seller are well-educated about those imperfections so that an agreement can be reached on how to address them.
Our inspectors are trained to examine chimneys, roofs, electrical wiring, foundations, plumbing, drainage, basements, crawlspaces, attics, heating systems, ventilation, insulation, siding, and dozens of other components of a house. By applying cutting-edge technology such as drone technology, thermal imaging, carbon monoxide detectors, and other advanced tools, All Points Inspections can identify problems that other inspectors simply might overlook.

Assisting Sellers
When an inspector from All Points Inspections finds a problem during an inspection, it can often be a source of stress for a home seller. It makes selling the home more complicated, and negotiations may become longer or even fall apart entirely. That’s why many home sellers choose to engage our services for a pre-listing inspection—so there are no surprises. A pre-listing inspection reassures buyers that you are confident in your home and have fully disclosed everything about it. This allows buyers to make an informed decision quicker, helping you sell your home faster.
Every home buyer will eventually have an inspection conducted—as a seller, you'll look much better if you know the answers to their questions before they ask. A pre-listing inspection also gives you a realistic understanding of your home’s condition, allowing you time to make any necessary repairs or replacements. You can also add a report from All Points Inspections directly to your supporting documentation, giving you added credibility and increasing buyer confidence.
We Are Here When You Need Us
Of course, having your home inspected is not a guarantee that it will be problem-free when you move in—no one can guarantee that. All Points Inspections cannot force the seller to fix anything before you move in, nor can we ensure that any out-of-date items will be brought up to code. However, we will provide you with our recommendations for repairs and connect you with licensed contractors best suited to address any issues your home may have.
With our expert knowledge and resources, we strive to ensure a smooth, stress-free buying experience for our clients.
