FAQ

Common questions about home inspections in Raleigh and the Triangle

Answers to timing, scope, service area, scheduling, and what to expect from the inspection process.

How long does a home inspection take?
Most homes take 3–4 hours on-site. Smaller homes and condos can be quicker, and larger or older homes can take longer. After that, I spend more time writing your report, so you get photos and clear explanations, not a checklist.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, and I encourage it. Come for the whole inspection or join at the end, and I’ll walk you through what I found.
When will I receive the report?
Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours. Timing is confirmed at scheduling.
What does a home inspection include?
A visual inspection of accessible systems and components based on NC Home Inspector Licensure Board Standards of Practice, including structure, roof, exterior, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interiors.
Do you inspect new construction homes?
Yes. I offer pre-drywall inspections before the walls close and 11-month warranty inspections before your builder warranty ends.
Do you perform repairs?
No. I do not perform repairs on inspected homes. Inspections are independent and documentation-focused.
Are you licensed in North Carolina?
Yes. Ievgen Dotsenko is a North Carolina licensed home inspector, license #6471. Every inspection follows the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board Standards of Practice. You can verify the license with the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board.

What areas do you serve?
The Triangle — Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Morrisville, Knightdale and Clayton — and the Cape Fear Coast, including Wilmington, Leland, Southport and Oak Island.
Do you inspect condos or townhomes?
Yes. Condos and townhomes can be inspected based on the accessible systems and components within the unit and any accessible exterior or roof areas that are part of the inspection scope.
