Our Services
Our inspections are performed with great care and attention to detail.
Residential Inspections
We know that purchasing a home is one of the largest investments that you’ll make throughout your lifetime. With this in mind, we take care to note every detail possible during the inspection process.
Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection is a professional examination of a property that is performed before the property is put on the market for sale.

It’s important to inspect the property again after making any changes or requesting repairs to ensure they meet quality standards.

These structures can include sheds, garages, guest houses, barns and any other structure you would like to have inspected.

Whether you want to have your newly constructed home inspected before the drywall goes up or before you take possession of the home, reach out to us, and we can create a plan that works for you. For those who may not be familiar with the home-building process, an inspection can help identify any shortcuts that may have been taken or unfinished areas you need to be aware of, helping you ensure that the home is truly move-in ready.

Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
Most home inspectors do not have the actual “in the field” construction and building knowledge as Redel Home Inspection Services LLC has. While Terry is fully capable of making the repairs, due to conflicts of interest and ethical concerns we are only able to provide you information about repairs deemed to be necessary. This in turn gives you the knowledge you need and the freedom to chose your own contractor/repair service to handle the repairs you decide are important to you as a homeowner.
Ultimately the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
