Frequently Asked Questions

When in the buying process should I book a home inspection?

Right after your offer is accepted, during the inspection contingency window — typically 5 to 10 business days in the Quad Cities. Book early in that window so you have time to attend, review the report, and negotiate any major findings before the contingency expires. A good local inspector is often booked a week or more out, so line one up the moment your offer is accepted.

What does a home inspection actually cover?

A standard inspection covers the major systems and visible components: roof, exterior, foundation and structure, electrical panel and wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, windows and doors, and major built-in appliances. It's a visual, non-invasive inspection — it won't catch every hidden defect, but it identifies the big-ticket items and safety issues that should shape your purchase decision. Specialized inspections (sewer scope, radon, mold, termite) are separate add-ons.

Should I get a home inspection if I'm selling my Quad Cities home?

A pre-listing inspection is worth considering on an older home. It lets you fix or disclose known issues up front, which reduces last-minute negotiation surprises and can keep a sale from falling through after a buyer's inspection. It's especially useful if your home has an aging roof, older electrical panel, or basement with water history — common in this market — because you control the narrative before a buyer's inspector does.

Are home inspectors licensed in Iowa and Illinois?

Illinois requires home inspectors to hold a license issued through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which involves pre-license education, supervised field inspections, and a state exam. Iowa does not regulate home inspectors at all, so on the Iowa side the credential to look for is certification from a recognized national body such as InterNACHI or ASHI, plus liability insurance. Ask for a sample report either way, and choose an inspector who works only for you — not for the seller, agent, or contractor they may refer.
