Buy in confidence — and know what you're getting!

With so many houses to choose from, buying a home in Richmond, VA or the surrounding area can seem overwhelming. We at American Pride Home Inspections understand that this could be the largest single investment most people will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you'll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A professional home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as point out maintenance issues that can help to keep the home in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make your purchase decision with confidence.
