Diamond Home Inspections | Home Inspection 612-223-5387
Have you found the townhouse of your dreams? Congratulations! But before getting too attached, now is the time to find out if there are any hidden (and potentially costly) issues to the place you could soon call home. Closing on a house can be expensive, and you might be tempted to save some cash wherever you can, like forfeiting the home inspection. You may have even heard from many people, including real estate agents, that townhouses do not need full inspections. After all, common areas are typically owned by the homeowners association.
Nothing could be further from the truth and saving some money upfront could quickly turn into an expensive mistake in the long run. Like any other properties, condos and townhouses should be inspected inside and out.
Our inspection will include:
- General safety and security
- All rooms in the interior living unit
- Building design, framing and structure
- Exterior walls, siding, trim, windows, doors
- Roof coverings, drainage systems, skylights, vents and ventilation

- Hot water supply
- Sinks, toilets, tubs, showers
