About Your Inspection
What to expect from your inspection with Red, White & Bluegrass.
Scheduling your inspection with Red, White & Bluegrass Home Inspections is just the first step. From the moment you reach out, we’ll keep you informed and make the entire process feel manageable. We know that the inspection period can be stressful, so our job is to keep things clear, organized, and straightforward from start to finish.
Your inspection day will involve a thorough, systematic walk-through of the property with Cody Dishman. As a certified home inspector with a background in residential construction, Cody evaluates what he sees with the trained eye of someone who has actually built and repaired homes instead of just observing them. We examine the structure, the systems, and all the details in between, and we invite you to follow along, ask questions, and learn about your home as we go.
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll walk through our key findings with you before we leave the property. You’ll receive your full, photo-rich inspection report within 24 hours via email, formatted so it’s easy to read on your phone, tablet, or computer.
5 Ways Your Inspection Can Work for You
Negotiate From a Position of Knowledge
A thorough inspection report gives buyers real, documented information to use at the negotiating table. Whether that means requesting repairs, asking for a price reduction, or simply knowing what you're accepting, your inspection puts data behind the conversation.
Uncover Safety Concerns Before They Become Your Problem
Our inspections evaluate the property for potential hazards including electrical issues, moisture intrusion, structural instability, and radon. Catching safety concerns early protects your family and can prevent much larger costs down the road.
Plan for What's Coming
Not everything we find requires immediate action, but some systems and components are nearing the end of their useful life. We'll let you know what to keep an eye on so you can budget for replacements and maintenance without being caught off guard.
Build Confidence Before You Close
Buying a home is a major financial commitment. Going into that decision with a clear picture of the property's condition helps you feel grounded. You won't be left wondering what you might have missed.
Sellers Benefit Too
A pre-listing inspection can help sellers identify issues before buyers do, giving you the chance to address problems on your own terms. It also signals to buyers that you're approaching the transaction with transparency which can speed things along.
