Yes absolutely. We ask that if you arrive, that you wait till the end of the inspection to ask questions. It is difficult to inspect homes while holding a conversation and will lead to items being missed. Most clients arrive at the end of the inspection period.

If you cannot attend the inspection and would like me to review the report with you, we can set up a Google Meets call. (it is similar to zoom, but does not require an App download).
Please be in front of a laptop or a desktop.
Attending the call from a cellphone is not ideal.
Please review the report before we get on the phone.

Inspection restrictions are physical and safety limitations home inspectors face. Some examples are:
Fall Hazards: We do not climb ladders to get to roofs taller than 10', as this is a fall hazard.
Most of our roof inspections are performed via drone. While we can fly the drone is most areas around town, we cannot fly the drone in restricted areas, such as near airports, wildlife areas, or hospitals.
Seller’s Belongings: We cannot move a home owner's belongings. It’s possible for a seller to intentionally or unintentionally hide a defect in the home.
Crawlspaces: At First Home Inspectors, we do not inspect crawlspaces underneath homes.
Attics in Homes Older than 1978: We do not inspect attic spaces for homes older than 1978 due to concerns about friable asbestos.
