What to Expect From Your Inspection

If you are in need of a home inspection in the Hudson Valley area, Ridgeview Home Consultants is here to help. Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or you just are interested in a home inspection to ensure proper maintenance of your current home, you can trust us  to deliver excellent services.

We are focused on education, and our goal is to provide you with all of the information you need about the property in question, and its overall condition. We encourage you to walk through the home with your inspector and to ask any questions you may have throughout the inspection process.

Ridgeview Home Consultants has a thorough, multi-point checklist for the inspection process. We will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after the inspection is complete, taking care to point out any defects found.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of our findings. Our reports include images, references and intimate details.  This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format, so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.
