Roof
The roof is one of the most complex, costly, yet essential systems on the home. Your home inspector will examine the roof, its structure, covering (shingles, tiles, etc.), flashing, gutters, downspouts, and more.
The General Home Inspection in its simplest description is intended for buyers, sellers, and homeowners. Your home inspector will describe the overall condition of the home and its systems. The reports will note defects observed, the implications of those defects, the best approach for correction, and the tradespeople to engage.
A Realm Home Inspection takes it a bit further. We provide that extra bit of information we’ve determined valuable through our years of experience. Beyond the defects observed our reports include a detailed explanation of your home’s systems, how they work, and maintenance tips for keeping them running in optimal condition.

If you made it this far, you should have a good idea of the value that we bring you with a Realm Home Inspection. If you add the above with the covered systems below, you’ll be in a fantastic position to make a truly informed decision.
“Did my home pass?” is a question often asked of a home inspector. Unfortunately, that’s not how inspections work. The truth is, as the home ages, its components break down, maintenance gets deferred, and bad things happen to good homes. In all fairness, even the homes that are meticulously maintained hide a few secrets. It’s a simple fact of homeownership. The bottom line is a Realm Home Inspection is your safe way of knowing what condition the home is in.
We inspect each property according to the North Carolina Standards of Practice. It’s important to understand that we are not Code enforcers, although code and our standards do overlap in some areas. A home does not simply pass-or-fail. It is an evaluation of the property’s condition at the time of the inspection.
Ultimately, we call out deficiencies when we see them, providing a clear understanding of the issues and providing guidance on whom to engage and what actions to take. No home, not even a new home, is perfect. We can help you understand what’s important, but only you can decide if the home is right for you.
