A home inspector serves as a generalist, not a specialist, with the primary responsibility to assess and report on the condition of a home at the time of inspection. At H&H Inspections, our detailed reports provide an accurate snapshot of a home’s state, enabling buyers and homeowners to make informed decisions.
It is crucial to recognize that a home inspection by H&H Inspections does not forecast future problems, nor does it offer warranties or guarantees against potential issues. Events like roof leaks, plumbing failures, or heating malfunctions fall outside the scope of a standard home inspection. Ultimately, ongoing maintenance and repairs are the homeowner's responsibility.

Homeowners must understand that over time, components of any house will inevitably wear out, break, or stop functioning. For instance, persistent water marks on a ceiling, as noted in one of our inspection images, suggest a longstanding leak, likely known to the homeowner.

In the context of a real estate transaction, our inspection reports complement the seller's disclosures, providing additional insights to buyers about the property's condition. For example, an inspection might reveal a cracked roof shingle from recent wind damage—a defect that occurs post-inspection and remains the homeowner's responsibility to address.
Ensure you understand the full scope of what a home inspection can and cannot provide. For a comprehensive, honest assessment of your potential or current property, contact Chad Hammons at H&H Inspections. Call us today at (979) 323-6050 or schedule your inspection online.
