What is Included in the Inspection?

​

A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. Home inspections are conducted by Steve Pellecchia, owner / inspector of All American Home Inspection, LLC.

​

Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of the home.  All American performs inspections to exceed the NJ Standards of Practice NJAC 13:40-15.16. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the inspecction, so that you’ll actually see what we’re talking about in the written report.  The results are provided to you, complete with digital photos of any problem areas and includes a clear description of what we’ve found with any problem areas noted.  Every inspection is a complete and thorough visual inspection of all the major systems and components in the home.  All reports cover the structure from foundation to roof and evaluate all electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems for operability.
