Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a home Inspection?

A non-invasive, visual examination of a residential dwelling. Eagle

View Home Inspections provide our clients with a written report identifying defects that change

the value of the home.

2. What will a home inspection cost?

Fees vary based on location, size, ancillary services (septic

dye testing, wood destroying organism analysis, radon testing and/or water analysis) requested

and/or required by the client, mortgage lender or attorney.

3. Why do I need a home inspection?

As a buyer, the process of purchasing a home can be

emotional, if not overwhelming. This purchase could be your single largest investment in your

lifetime. Eagle View Home Inspections offers an unbiased, non-emotional evaluation of the

home.

4. Can I do the Inspection myself?

When a situation requires a professional, it is best to hire a

professional. There are so many aspects to a proper home inspection, that unless you have

training in the field, you can’t be sure that you are not overlooking a potential problem.

5. When do I call in the Home Inspector?

Typically your realtor and/or attorney will help guide

you through this process. Before signing a contract or a purchase agreement obligation, the

home inspection should be completed. The contract, purchase agreement are contingent upon

the findings of the professional home inspection report.

6. Can a house fail inspection?

Absolutely not. Professional home inspections completed by

licensed home inspectors are an examination of current conditions of the residence you are

considering. This inspection is not an appraisal, we do not determine current market values and

we do not verify current code compliance requirements. Home inspectors do not pass or fail a

residence, but describe the condition of the home the day of inspection.

7. How long does a home inspection take?

Depending on the size of the home and ancillary

services to be completed, the inspection should take between 3 & 4 hours.

8. Do I need to attend the inspection?

It is not required, however, Eagle View home Inspections

always recommends the purchaser to be in attendance. We provide a walk through service

directly after the reporting process is completed. The walk through will enable you to better

understand the home inspection report and give you the opportunity to ask any questions.

9. How do I pay for my inspection?

Eagle View Home Inspections Inc. accepts cash, checks credit

and debit cards.

10. Why should I choose Eagle View Home Inspections?

Not only did I attend the necessary home inspection course and receive the necessary certifications I majored in construction

management in college and have been in the remodeling and home inspection industry for over

35 years. Today when so many people are “flipping houses” it is easy to cover up questionable

areas. Someone who does not have the same type of experience, might inadvertently overlook a problem area.

I would highly recommend Eagle View Home Inspections, INC. I couldn't have been happier with the service that we received from Peter Damiano. He was very professional and extremely thorough, which is exactly what you want in someone that is inspecting a home that you are looking to purchase. He was very flexible with the scheduling as we only gave him a few days notice. The inspection was conducted on a Wednesday and we had the full report to review Thursday evening.

Class act inspector and top notch business. Mr. Damiano is extremely thorough and pays close attention to detail. You'll have peace of mind knowing that if there is a major problem with your potential home, this man will find it. We used him initially for an inspection on a house that was found to have a major well-related issue. Thanks to Mr. Damiano we dodged a bullet and backed out of the deal. He just inspected our second house. We couldn't imagine using another inspector, as we were so pleased with his professionalism, accommodation and comprehensiveness. You will not be disappointed with Eagle View Home Inspections, I assure you of it.

-Josh

As a Realtor, I have seen Peter at properties and will always be amazed at his politeness and respect for the Buyers/Sellers. He is well aware of his job description and performs those duties flawlessly. Does not matter condition or age of the home, Peter will give his clients everything he can because thats who he is, genuine!! Thinking about becoming an inspector?? Talk to this man!
