"Do I Need to Attend the Home Inspection?" It’s a top question, and while it’s not mandatory, the answer is usually YES, you should at the end!

Here’s why attending, especially towards the end of the inspection, can be so valuable:

Direct Communication: Arriving at the end lets you ask questions and get immediate insights, without interrupting the inspector’s detailed process.

Hands-On Learning: You’ll see the inspector’s findings firsthand, giving you a better understanding of the home’s systems and maintenance needs.

Negotiation Leverage: Understanding any issues in person can strengthen your position in negotiations, whether it’s for repairs or price adjustments.

Even if you can’t make it, we’ll provide a thorough report with photos, descriptions, and recommendations. But if you’re looking to get the most out of your inspection, being there in person as the inspector wraps up can make a world of difference.

How Does Daylight Savings Affect Home Inspections?
Now that we "fell back" an hour, we lose daylight sooner! This means home inspections need to be scheduled earlier in the day, so we can inspect with enough sunlight to see the interior and exterior of the home clearly.

Across the US, WIN home inspectors are collecting donations to help replenish food banks and support local charities in their communities, and we need your help! This November, when you donate, you can save on your inspection services. Contact your local WIN home inspector, today!

“Completely deserving of all five of these stars! I appreciate that this team took our out-of-state needs seriously and worked with our Realtor to make it happen - thorough, prompt, easy to work with, and even wore a costume (along with our Realtor) for a Halloween inspection! Also appreciated their eagle-eyes in catching things my OCD didn't catch when we were viewing the property.”

Outside of a home that was inspected by yours truly!

Shawn Degan, a former Navy Senior Chief with 28 years of service, including active duty and reserve time, now thrives as a WIN Home Inspector in Tucson, Arizona. His military background as a Boatswain's Mate and leadership roles during deployments to Kuwait and Iraq shaped his work ethic and decision-making skills.
After retiring from the Navy and Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Shawn found home inspection to be a perfect fit. “I didn’t want to get stuck doing the same thing forever," Shawn shared. "WIN gave me the support I needed to transition smoothly and focus on building my business.”
Shawn appreciates the franchise model because it gave him a strong network of veterans and business owners to lean on. “The transition wasn’t easy, but WIN offered me a turnkey solution where I could focus on doing inspections and growing my business.”
Now, every Friday, Shawn proudly wears his red shirt to honor fellow veterans and remember his journey from military service to successful business ownership.

Why Does the 💲Price of an Inspection Change Based on the Home’s Size?
When it comes to home inspections, one size doesn’t fit all! 🏡 The price of your home inspection often varies based on the square footage. Why?
1️⃣ Larger Homes Take More Time: Inspecting a bigger home often means checking more rooms and interior/exterior surface area to cover. More space = More time for a thorough, quality inspection!
2️⃣More Systems & Features: Bigger homes typically have larger or multiple HVAC systems, electrical panels and bathrooms.
3️⃣ Greater Detail: Larger homes often come with unique features that require extra attention. For example, homes with multiple stories may have additional structural considerations and some properties feature luxury amenities like pools, home theaters or wet bars that require detailed assessments.
So yes, the size of your home directly affects how much time and effort it takes to provide a proper inspection, which is why pricing is adjusted accordingly. But no matter the size, our goal is to ensure it’s safe, sound and ready for you!

Please don’t wonder and wait! Keep on top of your maintenance and inspections to ensure the longevity of those costly appliances.

🍂Fall Home Inspection Trends to Watch🏡
As the cooler months approach this fall, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for winter. Here are some important trends to stay on top of so you can stay ahead of the season:
🔸Every year, there are ~25,000 chimney fires in the U.S., leading to $125 million in property damage. These are especially common in the winter - Scheduling a Fireplace and Chimney Inspection and cleaning before using your fireplace can prevent dangerous creosote buildup and keep your home safe this winter!
🔸Neglected gutters often lead to expensive repairs, with water damage to foundations costing homeowners between $3,000 to $10,000. Regular gutter cleaning in the fall helps prevent these costly issues, especially as leaves clog drainage systems, so it should be no surprise that roof inspections ramp up this time of the year.
🔸Around 20-40% of heating and cooling energy is wasted due to air leaks in duct systems. Sealing these leaks can significantly reduce energy waste and lower your heating bills as the weather cools for most of the country.

Purchasing a new construction home can be an exciting venture, but it’s not without its risks. While the allure of pristine rooms and untouched appliances is strong, the reality is that new homes can have just as many hidden issues as older ones. Strategic timing of multiple inspections throughout the construction process is critical to catching potential problems early and ensuring quality at every phase.

Congratulations to Teddi Koppelberger on the purchase of her beautiful new home in Milton, Florida. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you, Teddi. Wishing you happiness and success in your new home!

Our inspections are thorough, covering 300+ items inside and outside of the home, but we often get questions about what's NOT included in the inspection:
1. We can't move furniture—If large items block access to panels or attics, we can’t inspect them. We need clear access! 🛋️
2. Utilities off? Without water, gas, or electricity, we can’t test systems like HVAC or plumbing. Be sure everything is on! 💧🔌
3. Specialized inspections—Pests, mold, or radon require separate equipment and testing. 🦠
3. Chimneys, pools, and septic systems—These require additional training and certifications to fully evaluate. 🏠
4. Code compliance checks—We don’t inspect homes for compliance with local building codes. That’s handled by city or county inspectors! 🚧
5. We don't invade your space—We only inspect what’s visible and accessible, so no opening walls or ceilings. 🔨

If you need me, I'll be in my office😂🛠️
