Pre-Listing Inspections
Why not be proactive and schedule an inspection before you put your house on the market? Not only will this allow you to get ahead of a future buyer’s inspection, but it gives you time to find a reasonably-priced contractor to fix some defects before you list. It may also help you price your home realistically, avoid a delay in obtaining a use and occupancy permit, and alert you to immediate safety concerns before agents and visitors tour your home.
New Construction Inspections
A new home inspection, also known as a construction or phase inspection, is an invaluable service for anyone who wants to have a reliable, non-biased professional opinion about the quality and installation practices being utilized during the building process.
11-Month Warranty Inspection
Just because a home is new doesn’t guarantee that everything was built the way it should have been, or that all systems are in good working order. An inspection conducted at 11 months after occupancy allows you to get your builder to address the problems and make repairs before the standard one-year warranty expires.
Investor Property Inspection
If you’re serious about buying a property for investment purposes, it makes sense to have it professionally inspected so you don’t face unexpected, and expensive surprises. With Cornerstone’s strong real estate and property management background, we know how to tailor an inspection to meet your needs and help you maximize the potential of your investment property. We’ll examine the roof, foundation, heating and air, plumbing, and electrical wiring and present any recommendations in a thorough, easy to understand digital report.
Winterization Service
Let’s face it, we get crazy snow in this region. Let us help you get ready for the first flakes with a winterization service. We’ll clean gutters, turn off and drain the hot water tank, and open up the valves just in case. As part of the service, we’ll come around and turn everything back on before you’re ready to return. Contact Cobblestone Inspections for more details.
Vacation Property Inspection
If you’re planning on heading South to a warmer place for the winter, let Cobblestone keep an eye on your property here. While the windy winter storms are raging, we’ll take care of your property, maintain it and serve as a contact for you. You’ll enjoy your time away even more knowing your home is safe and in good hands. Contact Cobblestone Inspections for more details.
Apartment Inspection
Before you sign a contract on a new apartment, you might want to document its condition, and protect your security deposit. A Cobblestone inspection will check to make sure such things as smoke detectors, electrical outlets, and thermostats are working properly, that walls are clean and carpets are in good condition, and that appliances and toilets are all operational.
Well Flow Testing
A well flow test will help determine if the well or its associated equipment such as the pump and storage tank are functioning as they should or if they require further evaluation. All visible components of the well system will be inspected, including the well head, the pressure (storage) tank, the piping and wiring, and the well pump.
Pool and Spa Inspection
We’ll inspect the above ground pipes and equipment for leaks, as well as the pool motors, valves, heaters, filters, lights, and water features, if any. In addition, we’ll examine the decking, coping seal and shell of the pool, along with ground wires, GFCI connections, and safety features.
Additional Services
Radon Testing
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that has the potential to be a dangerous health hazard if it goes undetected. The only way to determine if a home or building has a radon gas problem is through a professional radon test. Cobblestone has inspectors qualified to conduct radon testing.
Snowplowing
Like we said, we get crazy snow around here. With that in mind, Cobblestone will gladly snowplow your driveway or commercial lot to get you out and about before cabin fever sets in. Contact Cobblestone Inspections for more details.
