Assurance Home Inspections offers a comprehensive home inspection report with details of systems and components.
We offer a “4-point” inspection that involves the major concerns of any property that includes the roof, electrical, plumbing and heating/cooling system. If a complete inspection isn’t your highest priority, then a four point inspection may very well be the answer to any questions that you may have. This inspection is offered at a price according to the size of the home but is a reduced compared to a complete inspection. I'm often asked what is excluded from a 4-point inspection compared to a complete inspection.
