First Choice Inspectors Services

Top-to-Bottom General Home Inspections

At First Choice, our goal is to provide complete home inspection services while providing Southern hospitality, straight talk and honest dealings. We specialize in general home inspections for homebuyers. These inspections begin with examining visible and accessible areas of the house, from the roof to the foundation, inside and outside. Trained home inspectors also check all major appliances and systems, such as the electrical system, the plumbing, and the roof.

We include Thermal Imaging in every Top-to-Bottom General Home Inspection. By using a cutting-edge camera for infrared thermography, our home inspectors can detect problems that an unaided eye can miss. These can include such issues as water leaks, pest infestations and much more.

These general inspections collect and document defective or damaged areas of the home, including evidence of water damage and faulty wiring. You deserve to know the condition of the home you’re buying. With the complete inspection report completed by First Choice home inspectors, you’re able to take care of repairs or replacements as appropriate before you actually buy the house.

Additional Home Inspection Services

First Choice Home Inspectors, LLC, also offers:

Pre-Listing Inspections

A listing agent or seller typically wants this service. Providing a thorough assessment of the home, this inspection is completed before your home is listed. After a pre-listing inspection, you can decide to make necessary repairs before your house goes on the market. With this inspection report in hand, you can also feel confident about the price you set.

11-Month Warranty Inspections

This is one of the home inspection services that can save money right away. Your new home contract may include a one-year warranty on appliances and major home systems, such as the plumbing. For this inspection, we examine what’s covered by your warranty after 11 months to ensure any issues or defects can be fixed before your warranty expires.

New Construction Inspections

This inspection takes place prior to your last walk-through to ensure that you have no concerns when you move in. Most people take it for granted that their new home is perfect, but newly constructed homes often have more defects than previously-owned ones. Make sure your builder is held responsible for safe and proper construction.

Standalone Deck Inspections

You want to feel confident that your deck can hold heavy and lateral loads. We not only verify that your deck is built to withstand constant use; we also ensure that all the handrails are safe. Protect your family and guests — not to mention your personal property — with a deck inspection.

Chimney Inspections

First Choice inspectors examine the interior, exterior and accessible areas of your chimney — even on the roof. We make sure your chimney is sound and free from obstructions, such as flammable roofing material debris. Chimney fires burn hot, but slowly. You may not even be aware of it until it’s too late. A chimney inspection reduces your chances of a cataclysmic fire.

Roof Inspections

We assess your roofing material, whether it’s made of tiles or shingles, which can blow off, blister or curl, rendering them ineffective. Your roof is your first line of defense against intrusive water damage. We also check all roof appliances — like swamp coolers, heaters and air conditioners. These home inspection services make sure your home is in working order before you move in.

Additional Services:

Mold and Allergen Inspections

Mold causes respiratory health problems, especially for children and the elderly. Detecting mold and the conditions causing allergens keeps your home safe. Any mold specimens found are sent to a lab to determine the type of mold. Once it’s identified, the mold can be treated to remove it and to keep it from returning.

Radon Inspections

When radon gas, which has no smell and is invisible, is present, it poses a deadly health hazard. First Choice uses special instruments to detect the presence of radon gas in your home so corrective measures can be taken to protect yourself and your family if dangerous levels are present.
