Disclaimer
Deft Craftsman Handyman's Home Inspection Preparation Service is not a licensed home inspection and is not intended to replace a home inspection performed by a licensed New Jersey home inspector. Our service is a visual property walkthrough designed to identify many common maintenance and repair issues that are often noted during a buyer's home inspection. We do not evaluate structural, engineering, environmental, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or other systems beyond visible observations, nor do we certify the condition of any property.
