When you purchase a home, the real estate agent, closing attorney, appraiser, mortgage lender, pest control specialist, and surveyor that assist you are all licensed. So, it is easy to assume that the home inspector you choose will be equally qualified. Sadly, this is not always the case. In the State of Georgia, the only requirement for home inspectors is to provide a written inspection report and to own a flashlight (and the flashlight is optional). As a result, you may end up with an inspector whose lack of skill, knowledge, and experience could cost you literally thousands of dollars in unreported defects.

At Pro- Spect, we are committed to providing our clients with property reports that list every defect that was visible at the time of the inspection. Because there is no such thing as a "perfect" home, some defects are typical and common and we take every effort to distinguish between normal wear and tear and more serious defects. Moreover, because we are a full-service building science consultant firm, our home inspectors are also cross-trained in stucco, code, and environmental issues providing you with a full understanding of the condition of your new home. If, for example, we note conditions that can present health hazards (i.e., lead-based paint, asbestos, and mold), we can provide you with the additional inspection and testing services required to explore the significance of these conditions on the spot and at a substantial discount. We are truly "one stop shopping" for any inspection or testing service.
