Whole Home Inspection

Complete Home Inspections for Buyers, Sellers & Homeowners

A whole home inspection gives you a clearer understanding of the property’s visible and accessible systems before you buy, sell, or make major decisions.

What Is a Whole Home Inspection?

A whole home inspection is a detailed visual inspection of the major visible and accessible systems of a residential property. It is designed to help you better understand the condition of the home and identify items that may need attention.

Whether you are buying a home in Gainesville, preparing to sell, or simply want a better understanding of your property, Chastain Home Inspections provides thorough, practical inspection services with clear reporting.

A typical home inspection takes about two hours depending on the size, condition, and accessibility of the home. Reports are computer generated, include digital color photos when applicable, and are usually emailed within 24 hours.
