Please note:  A home inspection is not a warranty against defects or a guarantee that you will not eventually discover a defect.  Your inspection is our professional home inspector's visual assessment of the above-listed components at the time of the inspection.  

Beacon home inspectors are highly skilled professionals who meet Beacon's rigorous standards of practice, competency and integrity.  We will not solicit or accept offers to repair any defect we find; however, we will gladly assist the prospective buyer in locating a competent licensed contractor for defect repair.
