As an ASHI-certified home inspector with over 20 years of experience, Dru brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his work. If you’re buying or selling a home in Overland Park or Johnson County, you may have a lot of questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions people have when hiring a home inspector.
What is a home inspection? A home inspection is an unbiased evaluation of the condition of the accessible portions of a structure, such as the roof, foundation, doors and windows. The inspector also examines mechanical systems, such as plumbing and HVAC. As a home inspector Johnson County residents can trust, we emphasize identifying existing problems and making maintenance recommendations when inspecting a home.
Why do I need a home inspection? You wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it first. A home is one of the largest purchases most people will ever make. Before you buy, you need to know whether there are any major structural or mechanical issues that could impact the value of your investment. If you are selling a home, both Kansas and Missouri laws require disclosure of known problems with a structure.
How long does it take to receive an inspection report? At Gordon & Associates, we typically provide a walk-through and verbal explanation of findings at the time of inspection, and supply a written document within two hours.
What does a home inspection cost? The average cost for a whole home inspection in Overland Park, Johnson County or the Kansas City area, including a termite inspection, is $450. You can add radon testing for $125. You can use our Quick Quote System to get an exact quote via text, or call us at 913-207-2769.
I’m buying a newly-constructed home. Do I need a home inspection? The short answer is, yes! Contractors sometimes cut corners to save on costs, and even an honest construction company can make mistakes. No one should have to pay to fix problems on a brand new home, and if proper code was not followed, it can become a costly and stressful legal problem.
