A home maintenance inspection is essentially the same as a standard home inspection, but the inspection is done for the current owner. It's a added layer of protection for the home owners investment. Most of these homeowners have been in their homes for over five years, and they may or may not have had their home inspected at the time they purchased it. One small difference between a buyer’s inspection and a home maintenance inspection is that we don’t test the appliances during a maintenance inspection. Homeowners already know about every little funky issue with their appliances, they don’t need us to test out the burners on their stove for them. We do inspect the installation of the appliances though.
