Should I get specialized inspections?

Yes, when the home or the disclosures suggest a specific risk. Specialized inspections can save you from expensive surprises.

When should I consider them?
For roofs, foundations, sewer lines, chimneys, HVAC, pest damage, or mold.

Are they always necessary?
No, but they are often wise for older homes or homes with warning signs.

Do they cost more?
Yes, but usually far less than a major repair.

Can they change my negotiation?
Absolutely. They give you better facts for repair requests or credits.

What is the downside?
They add time and sometimes reveal issues you were hoping not to see.
