What We Inspect
A standard FPI residential home inspection covers: roof, gutters, and flashing; attic, insulation, and ventilation; structural components including foundation, framing, and load-bearing walls; HVAC systems including furnace, air conditioning, and ductwork; plumbing supply, distribution, and drain lines; electrical panel, wiring, and outlets; windows, doors, and exterior cladding; basement, crawlspace, and drainage grading.
Inspectors document every finding with photographs and plain-language descriptions. You receive a complete report the same day in most cases — formatted to be readable by buyers, sellers, and agents without technical background.
Who Needs a Residential Inspection
Buyers use a home inspection to understand exactly what they are purchasing before they close. Findings create negotiation leverage or provide the basis for repair requests. Sellers use pre-listing inspections to identify issues proactively, removing surprises that can derail contracts at the worst moment. Homeowners use annual or periodic inspections to catch deferred maintenance before small problems become expensive ones.
In North Carolina and Maine, FPI works with first-time buyers, move-up buyers, investors, estate executors, and real estate agents who need a reliable inspection partner for their clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most single-family homes take two to three hours. Larger properties, older homes, or those with multiple systems to evaluate may take longer. Ancillary services like radon testing or sewer scope add minimal time to the visit.
Yes, and we encourage it. Walking through the property with your inspector is the best way to understand the findings in context.
