What to Expect During Your Home Inspection in Charlotte, NC

Our buyer inspection includes a detailed evaluation of the entire property, inside and out. We carefully examine all accessible components to identify visible defects, safety hazards, and areas of concern.

Protect Your Investment With an Unbiased Home Inspection

It is important to hire an independent inspector for this process. The inspector needs to be as unbiased as possible to avoid any conflicts of interest. If the seller recommends a particular inspector, you should instead consider hiring someone else, since you want to make sure that the inspector is looking out for the interests of all parties involved in the deal.

“This is the second time I have used David’s company… They were knowledgeable, thorough, and professional both times. I have worked with several inspectors over my lifetime, and David has been the best. I highly recommend his service.”

Why Inspect

One of the major benefits of having a thorough home inspection performed is that you can make sure that your new home is in good shape when you move in. While every home has issues, keeping these to a minimum is important. Not only will this save you a lot of time and money, but it will make moving into your new home a more enjoyable experience.

Be Present

It is best to make sure that you are on the premises when the home inspection is being performed. This way, the inspector can explain any issues that he may discover to you in person. Also, if you have questions or concerns, you can ask them directly to the inspector, rather than having to write them down and ask them later.

Give Space

However, this does not mean that you should crowd the inspector or follow him around the whole time. He needs to have enough room to focus on the job. A proper home inspection requires great attention to detail. So, you should avoid distracting the inspector and potentially causing him to overlook a serious issue.

Before You Buy

As a home buyer, it is important that you have a home properly inspected before you agree to purchase it. This home inspection process can save you quite a lot of time and money. That is why you can’t afford to neglect this important task

Throughout the entire process, AHI showed exceptional customer service and expertise. I would consider them the best inspection company for competitive pricing, service and knowledge. Prior to the inspection, I called in multiple times to ask questions regarding the inspection process, since my being a first time buyer. Jessica was extremly helpful and knowledgable. David, the owner was excellent in answering all my questions as well via email. Hunter did the inspection and did an amazing job. He found things that were necessary to be repaired. The report came back in a timely manner. Hunter was patient in answering my questions to ensure I understood everything on the report. I will for sure be using AHI again and would recommend them to any family or friend. Thank you so much AHI team!!

I highly recommend David Johnson and AHI Inspections. He is very thorough and the reports are very detailed with pictures showing all details needed to understand any issues. David is very personable and freely shares his deep knowledge of structures and structural dynamics. He encourages questions and discussion on the issues he sees. When it comes to a home inspection, this is the kind of service you need!

Logan Schmidt

Can't say enough good things about Jessica and Hunter at AHI. Jessica handled the booking process and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. She was a fantastic first contact and remained incredibly helpful throughout the rest of the process.

Hunter was an outstanding inspector. He didn't balk at having me present during the inspection (in fact, he encouraged it), welcomed questions, gave explanations that were scaffolded to be both easy to understand and still detailed and comprehensive. He took his time on the property and explored every inch. I still don't know how he managed to fit into certain places in the attic and crawlspace, but he did, and thank goodness he did, because he saved us from a $500k mistake. He took lots of photos and notes and his report was easy to understand. Can't wait to use him again when we make another offer on a home. My realtor also mentioned that he's her new "go to" guy for when clients ask for recommendations.

Joseph Rusher

Hunter is extremely knowledgeable and AHI is the go-to for home inspections

JACKIE SANTOS

Had a great experience with Hunter. So glad we hired them to do our inspection. Usually you would think new construction homes will not need one. But we are so glad we did. There was a long list of repairs items and we were able to go back to the builder and have them fix it. Communication and expertise was key and Hunter exuded that above and beyond. 1000% recommend them!! Thank you again Hunter and team.

We had the pleasure of working with Hunter for both our pre-drywall and move-in inspections, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Hunter was professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure we felt confident and informed throughout the process.

Margaret Antosek

Hunter did a thorough inspection of our home and was patient and detailed in explaining the report to us. Highly recommended!

Katie Doig

Hunter and the team at AHI have been my go-to for many years. Not only are they incredibly detailed and efficient, but they do not hesitate to go over and above. I have had many clients reach out to ask more in-depth questions and they always assist. I have had other agents get MAD at just how detailed the reports are—that speaks volumes. I would recommend them to anyone that wants true value and care. They always give 110% to my clients and it does not go unnoticed.

Selling Florida

This is my third property inspection with AHI and Hunter Griggs and they are both excellent! AHI and Hunter Griggs were recommended to me by my Realtor and I have used AHI & Hunter ever since. I live out of State and it's reassuring to know that Hunter and AHI have my back. Thank you AHI and Hunter for your thorough inspections. You guys found issues that I would not have known about.

Albert Primavera

AHI did a fantastic job on our new home inspection. They were extremely honest, thorough in all aspects, and very quick turn around. You will be glad you used them!
