Your investment in real estate in New Jersey is a big one, and if you’ll take some time to read through this complete report, you’ll have a better understanding of real estate in general and your home in particular.

Items in Section 4 – Areas of Concern are numbered and color-coded to assist you and your real estate agent and/or attorney in evaluating them. Bold red text indicates an area of concern; regular black text is general information or typical causes related to the area of concern; and bold green text indicates typical recommendations for resolving areas of concern.

Some of the items in Section 4 – Areas of Concern are not actual areas of concern that need to be repaired or replaced but simply convey general safety or maintenance information. Lack of such information can impact the safety of people on the property or can affect regular homeowner monitoring and maintenance.

It also provides you with descriptions and general information about your home and its components and systems, common safety tips, and common maintenance recommendations.

Throughout the report, we attempt to answer many of the typical questions that arise after the home inspection or after you move in. If you have any questions or concerns, though, or if we can help in any other way at any time, please always feel free to contact us directly.

“Too many” numbered items doesn’t necessarily mean that there are “too many” problems; it only means that there is site-specific information that needs to be conveyed to you to protect your interests—from safety, maintenance, and financial standpoints. Often, what looks like a serious defect can be corrected at minimal expense. On the other hand, sometimes a trivial-sounding item can be very expensive to repair, or not repairing it could result in significant property deterioration, injury, or death, usually because of additional problems related to the so-called trivial item. If you have any questions or concerns, though, please always feel free to contact us directly.

We have compiled this report using generally accepted standards of practice of the home inspection industry. As such, there are reasons why we say what we say, so if you have any questions about the information contained in this report, or any perceived lack of information, contact us. And if we can help in any way at any time in the future, please feel free to contact us then, too.
