HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Save money and aggravation with Acuity’s home maintenance inspection! Every home is subject to the effects of weather, aging, and normal wear and tear. This inspection can identify minor issues before they become major problems. The experienced Acuity team will inspect and report on areas of your home that you may not see on a regular basis. They will point out issues that could indicate defects related to code changes, potential safety issues, water drainage problems in and around your property, and foundation/structural issues. When you get a home maintenance inspection, you get peace of mind and the information you need to keep your home safe and in top condition.
