A typical inspection reviews accessible structure and major systems, including the roof and attic, foundation and structure, electrical, heating and cooling, and visible moisture concerns. The report notes findings and limitations. ### How long does a home inspection take? Inspection time depends on the property, access, and scope. Share the address and home details when requesting a quote so the inspector can discuss scheduling. ### Should I attend the inspection? Ask the inspector when scheduling whether you can attend and when they can review the findings with you. Follow property access and safety instructions. ### What is not included in a standard home inspection? A standard inspection does not investigate hidden or inaccessible conditions, provide engineering or code-compliance opinions, or determine flood insurance requirements. Specialist evaluations may be needed. ### Do new homes need an inspection? A new home can still have visible items to review. New-construction and phase visits may be scheduled when builder access and timing are confirmed. ### What is a TREC Professional Inspector?
