Why it is important to get an inspection, even on a new construction purchase

An inspection is a chance to have a licensed specialist go through the home you are under contract to purchase with a fine tooth comb and find any and all inefficiencies in the property.

Items that an inspector looks for may include: mold, foundation cracks, roof issues, settling problems, electical isssues, plumbing issues, HVAC problems... the list goes on.

Having an extra set of eyes out there to see and test for problems on a new home is a great investment. Most inspections costs less than $500- the cost is based on the square footage of the home. This way, when you sign on the dotted line, you know exactly what you are getting yourself into when you purchase the home.

My preferred home inspector is my Uncle, Mike Balch. He can be reached at 208-440-5358 or at mwbalch@msn.com To learn more about Mike and his services, visit www.boiseshomeinspector.com
