Buying a new home is like a game of poker

There are lots of surprises behind every door, and you want to make sure you’ve got the best hand. That’s where a professional home inspection comes into play! While the thought of your future dream home might fill you with excitement, it’s important to consider the hidden issues that could be lurking beneath the surface.

Why Is a Home Inspection Important?

Electrical Repairs

Problems with the electrical system can lead to short circuits and fires. Fixing electrical issues can cost between $150 to $2,000. Yikes!
