What to Expect During Your Home Inspection

Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with important steps to ensure your

If you’re in Jupiter, FL, or the surrounding areas of Vero Beach, Broward County, or Palm Beach

County, Kenco Home Inspections is here to guide you every step of the way.

Wondering what actually happens during a home inspection? Let’s walk through the process so you

know what to expect when our certified inspectors arrive at your property.

1. Inspection Scheduling & Preparation

Once you’ve scheduled your home inspection, we’ll confirm the appointment and provide instructions

on how to prepare. It’s helpful to:

● Make sure access to all areas of the home is clear.

● Provide any specific concerns or questions you have.

● Be available if you want to observe or ask questions during the inspection.

Our inspectors arrive on time, fully equipped with the tools needed to evaluate every aspect of the

property.

2. A Visual, Non-Invasive Examination

During the inspection, our certified inspectors perform a thorough visual assessment of the home’s

major systems and components, including:

● Roof and Attic: Checking for damage, leaks, and proper insulation.

● Foundation and Structural Elements: Looking for cracks, settlement, or signs of

shifting.

● Electrical System: Inspecting wiring, outlets, breaker panels, and safety features.

● Plumbing: Evaluating pipes, fixtures, water heater, and drainage.

● HVAC System: Testing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.

● Interior and Exterior Surfaces: Examining walls, windows, doors, siding, and decks.

● Other Critical Areas: Such as appliances, pools, or termite damage if requested.

Note: Home inspections are visual and non-invasive. Inspectors do not move furniture or dismantle

systems unless specifically arranged.

3. The Inspection Report

After completing the inspection, our team prepares a detailed report, usually within 24 hours. This

report includes:

● Clear descriptions of any issues or concerns.

● Photographs highlighting defects or areas needing attention.

● Recommendations for repairs or further evaluations (like specialized testing for mold or

radon).

We believe in transparency, so you’ll receive a comprehensive document that helps you understand

your home’s condition.

4. Walkthrough & Explanation

Many clients choose to be present during the inspection. This is an excellent opportunity to:

● Ask questions about specific findings.

● Learn about maintenance or safety concerns.

● Get a better understanding of your home’s systems and features.

Our inspectors are happy to walk you through the report and clarify any details, ensuring you feel

confident moving forward.

5. Next Steps

Based on the inspection findings, you can:

● Negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller.
