After the inspection, we produce a computer generated report for the complete home inspection, which includes a detailed analysis of the home. Additional copies of the report can be faxed or emailed at no extra charge.
Construction Phase Inspections
Are you building a custom home and want to make sure it is being built correctly right from the start? Hargrove Inspection Services performs inspections during the framing stage of the home building process. The framing stage takes place just before the drywall is installed in the home. A construction phase inspection is a structural analysis ascertaining that all load bearing and framing components were properly installed. The inspection certifies that the home is structurally sound and compliant with building code standards. The process also includes an examination of the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins.
The sale of a home typically includes a one year warranty in which the builder will correct any problems encountered within the first year of ownership of a new home. It is wise to have an inspection conducted shortly before the one year warranty expires, so you will know what to have the builder correct. Don't get stuck with those home maintenance bills later! Have your home inspected before the warranty runs out.
Green Verification Inspections
The National Association of Home Builders has partnered with the ICC (International Code Council) and ANSI to develop the first national "Green" certification program - the NAHB National Green Building Program. This process utilizes independent, 3rd party Verifiers to confirm that a home is "Green." The program focuses on Green building principles in the following areas: energy, water and resource efficiency, lot and site development, and indoor air quality.
The NAHB Research Center trains, accredits, and monitors its verifiers to assure that they meet the strict criteria to perform these inspections.
Through the NAHB National Green Building Program, Hargrove Inspection Services is helping buyers take advantage of financial incentives for energy-efficient and Green homes, along with helping builders find ways to reduce waste and streamline production.

Once you have a home inspection done, we are available to come back at a reduced rate to make sure repairs were properly made. This helps you to ascertain that items noted in the inspection report were repaired correctly and according to current codes. Reinspections help you to further protect your investment and your home from future damage resulting from improper repairs.
A maintenance reinspection is when we come back out to your house about 1-2 years after your original inspection. We will help you identify any areas of the house that are in need of maintenance, give you advice on any issues that have arisen with the house, and answer any questions you may have. Maintaining your house is imperative to protecting your investment. Maintenance reinspections start as low as $150.
