Structsure Pro Home Inspections
Answer: There is an additional charge for an inspection with a warranty
Explanation: Ground Zero Home Inspection, as a trusted and professional entity in the home inspection industry, does not offer a home warranty as part of its services. There are substantial reasons behind this practice that directly relate to the unpredictable nature of homeownership. Homeowners often initiate changes to their properties post-inspection, which can effectively alter the structure of the home. These changes can range from minor alterations to significant structural amendments, all of which can compromise the accuracy and relevance of the original inspection report. A home warranty issued at the time of inspection, therefore, becomes a potentially misleading document that does not fully represent the current state of the property. It is not beneficial for either the homeowner or the inspector. For homeowners, it may create a false sense of security about the condition of their property, discouraging them from conducting necessary maintenance or repairs. For inspectors, it can lead to unwarranted responsibility and liability for issues that arise due to changes made after the inspection. Moreover, a home warranty issued in such circumstances can inadvertently become a legal tool for attorneys who may manipulate these discrepancies between the warranty and actual property condition into legal disputes. This not only creates unnecessary conflicts but also detracts from the primary purpose of a home inspection: to provide homeowners with an accurate and comprehensive understanding of their property's condition at a specific point in time. Therefore, Ground Zero Home Inspection's decision to not offer home warranties is aligned with its commitment to providing honest, accurate, and transparent services to its clients.

Gilded Leaf Home Inspections LLC
ProMatcher
Answer: No, home inspection does not come with a warranty
Explanation: An inspector is hired to find defects. At InFocus Inspection we believe that the warranty products have too much fine print and offer nothing further than to increase the price of the service. If your inspector finds the defects there should be no need to warranty the systems they inspected. If you are shopping for an inspector that offers these warranties, please read the fine print and research the product they are offering before considering it as a positive selling point.
InFocus Inspection
Answer: No, home inspection does not come with a warranty
Explanation: A home inspection is not a home warranty. An inspection is a report on the condition of the major systems of a home at the time of inspection.

Answer: No, home inspection does not come with a warranty
Explanation: While some inspectors offer a warranty on their inspections it is not specifically required. Your home inspection is a snapshot of the conditions of the home on the day of the inspection and is not a warranty against future change or failure of components of the home.

If the NACHI certified inspector participating in the program misses something during the inspection, NACHI will buy the home back from the buyer at full sales price. That's an amazing guarantee.
