What Your Inspection Includes
ICON Inspection & Drone Services encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, but understand you may not have time to do so. Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will provide you with a comprehensive report which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
Inspections typically take 1 to 1.5 hours per 1000 sq. ft. and are scheduled at your convenience. We will answer all of your questions during an informative walk-thru at the end of the inspection.
