Home Inspection Wisconsin
Dave Kitzki Specializes in Home Inspection in Southeast Wisconsin and surrounding areas. A home inspection is a limited examination of the state of a home usually when the home is being bought or sold. The home inspection should be conducted by a licensed home inspector with the proper training and certifications. Through the home inspection process, the home inspector creates a written report for the client detailing any issues with the home. Dave Kitzki provides this home inspection service in Southeast Wisconsin and surrounding areas. The home inspection report is then used by either home buyer or seller to, in the case of a buyer, make an educated decision about the purchase of the home.
In the case of the seller, the home inspection report is used to correct any issues that may delay the potential sale of the home. As your home inspector, Dave Kitzki details the condition of the home at the time of the inspection, but this does not guarantee future condition, efficiency or life expectancy of the homes systems and components.
A home inspector can be confused with a real estate appraiser. An appraiser deals only with determining the value of the property, as your home inspector, Dave Kitzki verifies the actual condition of the home during his inspection, no monetary value is placed on the home at this time.
There is no passing or failing of a home inspection, rather a professional home inspector, such as Dave Kitzki, will examine the structure and the systems within the structure to detail any items that may not be in proper working order. As your home inspector, Dave Kitzki will also report as to items that might need replacement or maintenance in the near future. A home inspection is not a municipal inspection. A municipal inspection verifies that the home meets with local building codes. Simply, a home inspection prepared by Dave Kitzki provides a written report as to the condition of the house.

Items Sellers Should Fix
As a buyer, if you have the option, you should hire your own contractor to oversee repairs that you have requested. Many times sellers will hire the most inexpensive contractor to complete repairs based soley on the amount of expense to them. Call a contractor ahead of time to find out an estimate for the requested repairs. Because no home is without issues (even new homes), upon inspection, homes will have items that need to be fixed. Finding out the cost and understanding what you are able to repair on your own (minor repairs versus major repairs) will assist you in determining whether the issues found in the home inspection are significant enough to decline purchasing the home.
