Roof
Your home inspector will, whenever possible, climb up onto the roof to thoroughly check its condition.
However, if for safety reasons, your inspector can’t climb up onto the roof (e.g. due to rain, snow, steep slopes or insecure roofing material), they will climb a ladder and use binoculars.

Inspecting the Interior
To thoroughly inspect the interior of the property, your home inspector will:

Your home inspector will evaluate the general condition of the heating system and make sure that heat is being distributed properly throughout the property.
If the furnace or boiler is old, your home inspector may recommend that it should be replaced.
Your home inspector will also check for any safety risks, such as a loose flue connection or proximity to combustible materials.

Within 2 days of your home inspection, you will also receive a written home inspection report with the full details of the inspection.
Your home inspector will also walk you through the house to make sure you’re clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the property. We recommend that you attend this briefing to help you better understand the written home inspection report.

I like the service from Alexander Funhstein, he was on time, and took the time to explain every single detail despite the wind and cold weather. He didn't rush to perform the inspection, he pays attention to every detail. The report was very written in a very clear way with references with good explanation. I'm very please with the results, therefore I will be recommending the services from MOSE Home Inspection to anyone who will be interested in performing an inspection. I will also post a feedback on Google to compensate on the perception for the inspector.
