Your Inspection
A Home Inspection Built Around You
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply taking stock of where you live, a professional home inspection provides vital, in-depth information about your home. At Lion’s Sound Home Inspection, we make that process straightforward from start to finish. From your first call to the moment your inspection report lands in your inbox, we are focused on one thing: making sure you walk away with a complete and accurate picture of the property.
We follow the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice and conduct every inspection with the same disciplined, methodical approach. We assess all visible and accessible systems and components, note what needs attention, and flag anything that warrants a closer look. When the walkthrough is done, we review the findings with you directly, using plain language, without jargon, and without rushing.
Your inspection report is delivered the same day, in both HTML and PDF formats, with photographs and clear descriptions of everything we observed. This is a document you can reference for months to come, whether it’s during negotiations, during repairs, or simply as a record of the home’s condition at the time of purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
We inspect all visible and accessible systems and components of the home, including the roof, attic, insulation, exterior, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and interior living spaces. Our inspection typically takes two to three hours depending on the size and condition of the property.
Make sure all areas of the home are accessible, including the attic hatches, crawlspace entries, and the electrical panel. If appliances are included in the sale, make sure they are connected and functional. If you will not be present, ensure your inspector has entry to the home and that any pets are safely secured.
No. A home inspection is not a pass/fail evaluation. It is a detailed assessment of the home’s condition at a specific point in time. Our job is to identify and describe what we observe, not to approve or disapprove the property. What you do with the findings is entirely your decision.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Attending the inspection gives you a firsthand look at the property’s condition and the chance to ask questions as they come up. Clients who attend typically feel much more confident reviewing their report afterward.
We are not contractors, and we do not provide cost estimates. Instead, we clearly identify the condition of the home’s components and note anything that needs professional attention. Your contractor or specialist is best positioned to provide actual repair pricing.
Your inspection report is a factual record you can share with the other party in a transaction. Buyers often use findings to negotiate price adjustments or request repairs before closing. Sellers who conduct a pre-listing inspection can address issues proactively and present the home with full transparency.
5 Reasons to Never Skip the Inspection
You Know What You Are Buying
Your inspection removes the guesswork. Before you commit, you will know the actual condition of the property and not just how it looks on a sunny afternoon.
Safety Concerns Are Identified
Electrical hazards, improper venting, water intrusion, and structural issues are not always visible to an untrained eye. We specifically look for them.
You Are Better Prepared for What Comes Next
Knowing the age and condition of major systems like the HVAC, water heater, and roofing helps you plan and budget for future maintenance before it becomes an emergency.
Sellers Benefit Too
A pre-listing inspection gives sellers the opportunity to fix issues on their own terms, avoid surprises at closing, and demonstrate to buyers that the home has been well cared for.
Reduces Stress on Both Sides
Uncertainty is one of the most stressful parts of any real estate transaction. A thorough inspection replaces uncertainty with information that leads to better decisions.
