We inspect every corner of your home via a limited visual inspection designed to inspect and identify all systems and components of your home for any function, condition or safety deficiencies as defined by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice.
For Residential Inspections, standard items inspected are:
- Roof
- Exterior
- Foundation
- Structure
- Attic
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Fireplaces
- Heating and Cooling
- Interior: Walls, Floors, Ceilings, Windows, Doors
- Appliances
- Garage
These items are inspected via systematic approach of exterior top down, interior top down, foundation, and systems all combined with a room-by-room approach.
Additional inspection items can be added to any inspection order. Please see our full list of services and pricing HERE.
Ash The Home Inspector offers drone services and different aerial imaging; however, whenever possible we still prefer to walk the roof for inspection. It is very common in Hawaii to have a metal roof. With metal roofs, we believe a hands on approach yields the best answers when looking at roofing nails or screws, surface rust, dirt, mold/mildew, overgrown vegetation, paint and paint oxidation, flashing, gutters, vent stack and mast penetrations, etc.
