HOME INSPECTIONS:
If you are a homeowner planning to sell, or a homebuyer looking for an experienced lcoal home inspection professional, you can be confident in your selection of AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC. Home inspections can be arranged on YOUR timetable, and you are highly encouraged to attend the inspection. Results, in the form of a customized report with annotated photos and detailed explanations, will be available that same evening, and can be provided via e-mail for the fastest service.
Full home inspections are performed following the State of New Jersey Standards of Practice, which can be found by viewing the New Jersey Home Inspection Statutes and Regulations. A thorough home inspection is performed and depending on the age, size and complexity of the home, can take 2 -1/2 to 4-1/2 hours. Condominium inspections, where the condo unit is part of an Association, are less complicated in that the client may not wish to have areas of Association responsibility inpected; these are available at a reduced fee recognizing that only the interior of the unit is inspected.
FOCUSED INSPECTIONS: Besides offering thorough New Jersey Standards of Practice inspections, AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC also offers targeted inspections to buyers and owners that focus on specific inspection issues and concerns - structural, deck, crawlspace, fire escape, energy conservation and roof, to name a few. Whether it is for peace of mind, to meet an insurance requirement, or because you believe you are paying too much for your natural gas water or electicity, AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC can help.
NEW HOME OR RENOVATED HOME/CONDO BUYERS: Buying a brand new home or a completely renovated home or condominium? Don't assume that the expensive home you are buying is defect-free. Code inspectors are only looking for code issues, and are not charged with inspecting the same things as home inspectors. Additionally, busy code inspectors may overlook problems because they are rushed and only visit the site for a few minutes at a time, so should not be relied upon to be the final answer in whether your new home is defect-free. And while new homes built in New Jersey have a home warranty, many of the defects found in new homes would likely not be discovered by homeowners within the warranty period. A home inspection by a competent, experienced home inspector is an investment that can save you money - and aggravation - in the short and long term.

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION: Having a new home built for you? Consider an inspection of your home while it is being constructed. This greatly improved the chance that problems like inadequate insulation, unwanted infiltration, and substandard design or installation of a heating and air conditioning system don't get built-in to the home. Having an ally who understands the issues involved with home construction can be a great benefit for those who are experiencing the construction of a new home for the first time.
AS-IS INSPECTIONS: AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC is now are offering a new home inspection service tailored to, and ideal for, investors, "fix and flip" buyers, or buyers who want information on hot-button items either prior to finalizing their offer or if their agreement of sale has no formal home inspection contingency. This $200 inspection service focuses on issue of primary importance to most buyers in these situations - condition of roof, structure, windows, heater, air conditioning and electric service, as well as major safety-related items, that would not be readily evident to the buyer. It does not replace a thorough full service home inspection that follows the New Jersey Standards of Practice. However, $125 of the $200 fee for this service will be credited towards a full inspection service performed at a later date.
AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC based in Margate, NJ, and is local to the shore and Mainland communities, serving the area from Tuckerton south to Cape May. Consider that a home inspector based out of the area may be less than available if a problem arises, or if you need followup after the inspection. With AtlantiCape Inspections, LLC, you have local expertise, and familiarity with typical construction found on barrier island and shore communities.
Shopping for a home inspector? Be sure they are LICENSED. As of December 31, 2005, everyone performing a home inspection service in New Jersey is required by law to be licensed. This assures that you are protected, as licensed home inspector must have a minimum of $500,000 in errors or omissions insurance. There are still individuals who are offering services who either are not aware they are practicing illegally, or are attempting to skirt the law by bundling their "free" service along with another related service, so as to avoid the oversight of a law designed to protect you. Note that there are only sixteen licensed home inspectors based out of Atlantic and Cape May Counties. To view the latest list (PDF file) of licensed inspectors by county, click here.
