OUR PROCESS OF HOUSE INSPECTION IN BROWARD COUNTY
A house inspection is a tedious process. It consists of a visual examination of the complete structure (strength and quality of materials) and testing all appliances that come with the deal. Everything is thoroughly assessed, from small things like the doors and windows to big things like the floor and roof.
- Inspection – The inspection will cover the operation and installation of appliances and fittings like taps, tubs, showers, cabinets, wardrobes, etc.
- Findings – The house inspector will make copious notes as each item gets tested.
- Reporting – Once everything is inspected, a comprehensive report is made and submitted to the client.
