Accura Home Inspection Services
The Inspection
Accura Home Inspection provides a visual inspection which includes everything from the basement to the roof, inside and out. We even inspect the grounds surrounding the house.
Inspections are conducted in strict compliance with the New Jersey Home Inspector Licensing Act.
With Accura Home Inspection, nothing will be overlooked. The purchase of your home demands no less. We care about your investment as though it were our own.
We conduct a thorough inspection which includes the following:
Structural integrity: foundation, walls, beams, joists and rafters
Exterior: Siding, trim, roofing, chimney, deck, patio, gutters and downspouts
Grounds (excluding common areas of condominiums and townhouses): Grading, drainage, walkways, steps and driveway

The Report
You will receive a comprehensive report based on the inspection. This will give you additional time to address details prior to closing. The report is much more than a checklist; it comments on problem areas and offers recommendations on maintenance. In addition, Accura's inspector will share a wealth of knowledge as you walk through the house. The inspector will point out features particular to the house and answer any questions you may have.
Valuable information can be gained about maintenance. You will be advised of “hidden” problems and deficiencies that might require immediate attention. Implementation of our recommendations can improve the efficiency of the house resulting in significant operational cost savings.
Accura Home Inspection won’t tell you to consult a structural engineer, anelectrician or a plumber if there’s a problem. It’s our job to assess the situation and to make recommendations. That’s one of the reasons for hiring us. You won’t have to incur the additional expense of hiring others.
After the Inspection
Accura Home Inspection clients are invited to call us with questions or advice about any aspect of the house – even a year or more after the inspection!
