FAQs

Q1: What makes a Starmark Home Inspection different from other inspectors in the Charlotte area?

A: Our commitment to thoroughness and our extensive training program sets us apart. Our inspectors go through 480 additional hours of in-office training after state certification, plus they shadow our owner and lead inspector, John Hill, for at least 200 inspections before going out on their own. We offer a comprehensive 400 Point Inspection for peace of mind.

Q2: How long does a typical home inspection take, and should I be present?

Most inspections take about three to four hours, though this can vary based on the size, age, and condition of the home. We highly recommend that you be present, especially toward the end, so your inspector can walk you through their major findings and answer any questions you have in person.

Q3: What areas do you serve?

Starmark Home Inspections proudly serves the greater Charlotte metro area in both North Carolina and South Carolina. This includes counties like Mecklenburg, Union, Gaston, Cabarrus, Iredell, Catawba (NC) and York, Lancaster, and Chester (SC), covering towns such as Charlotte, Fort Mill, Mooresville, and Waxhaw.

Q4: Will the house pass or fail the inspection?

No, a professional home inspection does not issue a "pass" or "fail" grade. Our role is to provide an objective, detailed examination of the home's current condition, describing its physical state and indicating what may need repair, replacement, or further investigation. It gives you the information you need for negotiations and a confident purchase decision.

Q5: What types of services do you offer for new construction homes?

We offer comprehensive services for new construction, including Pre-Drywall Inspections (before insulation/drywall is installed), Final Inspections (once construction is complete), and New Construction Home Inspection packages designed to catch issues a builder might miss.

Q6: What is included in your standard Home Inspection?

Our standard service is a thorough 400 Point Inspection, which is a non-invasive, visual examination of the home’s accessible major systems and components, including the roof, structure, heating/cooling, plumbing, electrical, interior, exterior, and more. We use our detailed standards to ensure we inspect everything we can access.

Q7: Do you offer Radon Testing?

Yes, we offer Radon Testing as an additional, crucial service. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can be a health hazard, and we recommend testing to ensure the safety of your new home.

Q8: When and how do I receive the inspection report?

You will receive a detailed, computer-generated report with an easy-to-read summary and photos, delivered electronically. While delivery is typically quick, please allow one to two business days after the inspection for you to receive the comprehensive report via an emailed link.

Q9: Do you offer a guarantee on your services?

Yes, we offer a strong satisfaction guarantee. We are committed to giving you the best information possible and providing peace of mind. If you are not satisfied with your inspection after attending, please speak with your inspector before the report is completed to address the issue.

Q10: What is the ideal time to schedule a Pre-Drywall Inspection for a new build?

A: The optimal time for a Pre-Drywall Inspection is after the piping, wiring, and HVAC ductwork have been installed, but before the insulation and interior wall coverings (drywall) are put in place. This allows the inspector maximum visibility of the structural and mechanical systems.
