Residential Home Inspections in Northern Utah
Comprehensive top-to-bottom inspection of single-family homes, condos, and townhomes.
A residential home inspection is the foundation of every healthy real estate transaction. Over a typical two-to-four-hour visit, Kerry walks the home top to bottom — climbing on the roof when conditions allow, crawling the crawl space, opening the panel, running fixtures, and pulling appliance covers. The point isn't to scare you. It's to give you a clear, photo-rich picture of what you actually own (or are about to own).
Northern Utah's housing stock is unusually varied. A 1908 brick bungalow in central Ogden has nothing in common with a 2022 production build in Syracuse, and an 80s split-level in Roy has its own quirks. After 30 years inspecting all of them, Kerry knows what fails first in each — settling on expansive Wasatch Front clay, knob-and-tube hiding behind plaster, undersized panels in early-2000s subdivisions, ice-dam damage above unvented eaves.
You get a real conversation, not a checklist read aloud. Kerry will walk you through the home in person if you want to be there (most buyers do), then deliver a written report — usually within 24 hours — with photos, plain-language explanations, and clear priority levels so you can tell a $40 weather-strip fix from a $4,000 roof.
