POOL & SPA INSPECTION
A pool can be a magnificent addition to a house, providing hours of fun spent with family and friends poolside. But just like a house, a poorly maintained or old pool can be costly to restore or repair. Adding a pool inspection to your full home inspection is a tremendous value, and it will give you an accurate assessment of its condition.

Pools may have significant repair issues that can be a budget breaker. For example, resurfacing a pool can be as costly as installing a new roof. Repairs should not be taken lightly simply because the pool is outside. A swimming pool inspection will give you the knowledge you need to ask for remediation or a price reduction during the time of escrow.
