YES. As of 2018, Foundation & Up HI is offering a third party warranty on all of our inspections at no cost to the client. Though this is an additional service, what you should be looking for is the quality of the inspection. You are buying our professional opinion about the home, not an insurance policy. The inspection is a non-intrusive visual “snapshot” of the present condition of the home, given the limitations of the day of the inspection.
Yes. Absolutely. We encourage you to attend the inspection. It gives you a more complete understanding of the inspection process and the true condition of your home/potential home.
Based on on-site conditions there can be some limitations (such as snow or storage), all of which will be noted.
We follow the CSA A770-16 Standard of Practice. Please ask for more detailed information or potential limitations as desired.
An average inspection takes 2 to 3 hours. Depending on the size and condition of the home, we will provide you with a written digital report within 24hrs (earlier if necessary).
Foundation & Up is very competitive in our pricing and we believe our services have value as you can then make confident decisions on your potential investment.
“You Get What You Pay For”
