Know the home before you sign
A full roof-to-foundation inspection of the home you plan to buy, with a written report you can act on.
What you can expect
A house is the biggest purchase most people ever make. A home inspection is how you learn what you are actually buying, while you still have time to ask questions, negotiate or walk away.
Dan Anderson is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector. He walks the home from the roof down to the foundation, tests what can safely be tested, and explains what he finds in plain language. Your report includes photos and notes on what matters most.
Nothing left unchecked
- Roof, flashing and gutters

- Plumbing supply, drains and water heater
- Electrical service, panel and outlets
- Heating and cooling systems
- Interior walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows
- Built-in kitchen appliances
- Fireplaces and chimneys (visible portions)
The right moment
Under contract
The best time is right after your offer is accepted. Inspection windows are short, so book early and leave time to review the report with your agent.
Older Ohio homes
Summit, Portage and Stark counties have many homes built generations ago. Age alone is not a problem, but older wiring, plumbing, basements and roofs deserve a careful look.
Before you list
Sellers can inspect first and fix small things on their own schedule, instead of finding out during a buyer's inspection.

Common questions
Should I attend the inspection?
Yes, if you can. Coming for the last part of the inspection lets Dan walk you through the main findings in person and answer questions on the spot.
Does an inspection mean the house passes or fails?
No. A home inspection is not a pass or fail test. It is a report on the condition of the home on the day of the inspection, so you can make an informed decision.
Can I add radon or mold to my home inspection?
Yes. Radon testing and mold inspection can be scheduled with your home inspection so everything is done in one visit.
