Critical System Evaluations You Can Trust

We offer a focused 4 or 5-Point Inspection service—a streamlined evaluation of the most critical systems of a home. This service is ideal for homebuyers and property investors who need quick, reliable assessments during due diligence or when evaluating a property’s essential systems.

Our licensed and experienced inspectors adhere to the Standards of Practice of the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board, ensuring that every inspection is thorough, professional, and reliable.

Why Choose a 4 or 5-Point Inspection?

Our 4 or 5-point inspection service is designed to provide quick, actionable insights into a property’s condition. It’s an excellent option for:

Homebuyers: Gain a targeted understanding of the property’s essential systems.

Property Investors: Make informed decisions about potential risks and costs

Insurance Inspections: Satisfy insurance requirements by ensuring the key systems meet necessary standards.

What’s Excluded?

This service excludes areas like the exterior, grading, garages, walkways, patios, windows, doors, decks, balconies, attics, insulation, appliances, interior finishes, framing, fireplaces, chimneys, vents, sump pumps, radon, termite, water, and more. While ideal for targeted evaluations, it omits areas covered in a full home inspection, increasing the risk of missing potential issues.

Transparency and Risk:

Hidden Damage: Excluded areas may contain costly, undiscovered issues. ReliHI is not responsible for damage or deficiencies in areas not inspected. To minimize risk, we highly recommend our full Home Inspection for a comprehensive evaluation.

By choosing our 4 or 5-Point Inspection, clients accept its limitations and the risks associated with non-inspected areas.

ReliHI’s 4 or 5-Point Inspection service is your go-to solution for focused property evaluations.
