Professional Home Inspections in Rome, GA
When you need a home inspection in Rome, choose a partner that delivers balanced evaluations aligned with ASHI Standards of Practice. Capstone Home Professionals offers calm, homeowner-friendly explanations so buyers, sellers, and agents can make confident decisions without delay. Our process focuses on how North Georgia weather, clay soils, and seasonal storms influence long-term performance—so your report reflects real conditions, not boilerplate.
Rome spans historic downtown bungalows and newer surrounding communities. Across neighborhoods, we consistently watch roof water control during heavy summer rain, positive site drainage that moves water away from the perimeter, and ventilation that supports efficiency and indoor air quality.
Every inspection reviews the full structure—from the roof & exterior to the foundation & basement, with attention to safety, function, and realistic maintenance planning.
Because we live and work nearby, we recognize patterns like sealant fatigue around penetrations, gutter capacity challenges on long roof runs, and minor seasonal movement typical of the region. When roof walking isn’t safe or practical, drone images document shingles, flashing, and penetrations; when conditions allow, selective thermal scanning adds context.
What Your Inspection Covers — System by System
- Electrical: thorough panel (breaker box) inspection, representative outlet testing, GFCI/AFCI where required.
- Plumbing: run fixtures, observe drainage, review visible supply materials and water heater condition.
- Heating & Cooling (HVAC): evaluate service access, filters, comfort/airflow indicators common in Georgia climate.
- Attic, Insulation & Ventilation: observe insulation levels, ventilation balance, and general attic health for efficiency.
- Interior: function and safety of representative windows/doors; walls/ceilings condition.
- Kitchen & Built-In Appliances: test installed appliances (as able), range hood operation, safety outlets.
- Bathroom & Laundry: ventilation, moisture control, and required protection near wet zones.
- Fireplace & Chimney: clearances, visible flue conditions, and general safety context.
- Garage: door operation/safety, electrical, fire-rated separations.
In Rome, we frequently address basement moisture dynamics and verify details like ridge/valley roofs. We confirm correct breaker sizing and bonding, review grading and downspout extensions, and evaluate ventilation in baths and laundry spaces. Interior receptacles and windows are sampled under normal use.

Reports arrive the same day with prioritized recommendations—keeping your decision process on track.
Our On‑Site Process: Thorough, Calm, Systematic
We start outside—site drainage, grading, exterior cladding, roof coverings and flashing—then move inward to structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We document with photos and concise descriptions so the report reads like a guided walk‑through rather than a list of jargon. Where a surface seems suspicious, we may use a moisture meter to supplement the observation and include context about risk and next steps.
Buyer & Seller Scenarios We Handle Often
First‑time buyers: We explain how systems interact—why a minor grading correction can pay dividends for foundation health and interior comfort. Move‑up buyers: We help you separate cosmetic items from functional priorities so you focus your budget wisely. Sellers: Pre‑listing inspections surface repairs early, smoothing negotiations and reducing post‑contract surprises. Investors/STR owners: Semi‑annual or annual checkups catch wear from turnover and verify life‑safety devices.
Maintenance Priorities That Pay Off
- Keep drainage away from the perimeter
- Keep gutters clear and extend downspouts well away from the foundation
- Balance attic ventilation with insulation for comfort and energy performance
- Service HVAC annually and replace filters routinely
- Seal exterior penetrations and repaint on a cycle appropriate for Georgia’s UV and humidity loads.
These habits reduce long‑term costs and support clean inspection outcomes when you’re ready to sell.
