or energy rating, how to maintain a home, building safety and energy efficiency.

SO.....WHAT is a HOME INSPECTOR?
Alaska Home Inspectors are private, professional inspectors licensed
by the State of Alaska to perform visual, non-invasive inspections
of houses. These inspections are usually performed to inform a
client who is buying a house on the condition of the house.
This information can then be used to determine if there are repairs
that the client wants to be repaired before or after the real estate
closing. Inspections are also performed for sellers wishing to
prepare their homes for sale and for home owners wishing to keep
their homes in top repair. |
