Townhome Inspection

Townhomes are like any other home, except that they are attached to another home on at least one side and are managed by an HOA. A Townhome Inspection is essential for home buyers and is the key to unlocking a wealth of knowledge about a home they are looking to purchase, especially for items not covered by the HOA. By thoroughly inspecting areas of the home, we’re able to provide townhome buyers with a detailed, yet easy-to-read report so they can make an informed decision about their most valuable investment, their future home.
