WHO SHOULD SCHEDULE A VACATION HOME INSPECTION
Vacation home inspections are ideal for:
• Buyers purchasing a second home• Owners who occupy the home seasonally
• Owners who leave the home vacant for extended periods
• Buyers transitioning a primary residence into a vacation home
Professional inspections help identify issues that can develop unnoticed between visits.
WHY VACATION HOME INSPECTIONS MATTER
Vacation home inspections help:
• Identify issues early, before they worsen
•Reduce unexpected repair costs
• Protect the long-term condition of the home
• Provide peace of mind when the home is unoccupied
Homes that sit vacant for extended periods are more susceptible to moisture, HVAC, and plumbing issues.
OWNER-FOCUSED, NEUTRAL VACATION HOME INSPECTIONS
Vacation home inspections are observational and informational in nature. They focus on visible, accessible components of the home at the time of inspection and are not code enforcement or regulatory inspections.
Our role is to:
• Inspect accessible areas of the home
• Document visible conditions and maintenance-related observations
• Help owners understand risks associated with seasonal or intermittent occupancy
Homeowners remain responsible for ongoing maintenance and property management.
WHAT A VACATION HOME INSPECTION TYPICALLY INCLUDES
Depending on the property, a vacation home inspection may include:
• Roof systems, siding, and exterior components
• Foundation, crawlspace, or slab observations
• Electrical panels, outlets, and fixtures
• Plumbing fixtures, visible piping, and water-related concerns
• HVAC systems and general operation
• Doors, windows, decks, balconies, and railings
• Interior condition and signs of deferred maintenance
