Home Inspections in the Black Hills & Rapid City, South Dakota

Why Use Home Inspection Companies?

Especially for an older home, and even for a newer one, a home inspection is a valuable service to a home buyer. Whether you live in Rapid City, Custer, Hot Springs, Deadwood or Hill City there are plenty of reasons to get a home inspection. A home inspector will walk you through a 1 ½ to 2-hour visual inspection of the home to determine its condition and that of its systems. Inspectors will assess which components are not performing properly as well as inform the prospective buyer of areas where repairs may be needed in the future. Inspections are also a good way to get a better understanding of the upkeep required on a variety of systems such as furnaces, plumbing and roofs.

Following the inspection, the buyer should be given a written home inspection report of the details of the inspection, plus a maintenance schedule and an estimate of the lifespan and replacement cost of the home's systems. Home inspectors typically go over this report with the home buyer.

As a licensed real estate agent I can assist you by supplying names of home inspection companies and their contact info. When selecting from this list it is important that you enquire about the reputation, number of years in the business with experience in residential construction, and if they are a member of an association that will investigate consumer complaints.
