Your Inspection

What to expect from your inspection.

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Fortress inspections LLC provides professional and quality service from the moment you call me. I will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. I strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by the state and InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.

I encourage you to attend your inspection so that I can describe my process, explain my findings, point out important maintenance items, and answer all of your questions.

Following the inspection you will also receive a detailed report which will include descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues I discover. I will email the report to you within 24 hours and my job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.
