We believe you deserve the best!
Overview of Home Inspection
The State of Wisconsin has rules and regulations regarding what we are to inspect and how to inspect a house or condo. Those rules are very lenient and give home inspectors a lot of discretion with the inspection. The rules and regulations can be reviewed at (State Statute 440.97) and (Chapter SPS 131).
At Wall to Wall, we inspect all aspects of the property. All these items are looked at and more. All the conditions are documented on a computerized narrative report. You, and your realtor, will receive the full report (including pictures) the SAME DAY by email.
