"They were incredibly knowledgeable and answered our questions throughout the entire inspection. After our inspection, I felt that I had a good understanding of the condition of the home that we are buying. I also feel as though I have a great understanding of how to properly maintain my home in the future. I received the detailed report on time, and I know how to reach them if I should have further questions."

Dean showed us everything we needed to do to repair or replace each item and wrote up a very detailed inspection report. I would highley recommend him, and I will use him again myself if anything ever comes up."

"Matt did a home inspection, radon in air and water test for me. He was one of several businesses I called but I chose him for the job because I was impressed with his ability to communicate clearly and explain the process and answer my questions thoroughly. I found him to be conscientious, hard working and honest. The report was comprehensive with clear pictures and explanations. Top notch job!"

"This was the second time that we hired the Main Choice Inspection team. Bill Heath and his team, Kevin and Brian, were excellent. They were punctual and made accommodations to be at both inspections, in spite of a northeaster storm. The inspection(s) included: a general home inspection, sewer line and septic/leach field. The first inspection, post storm, was done in frigid temperatures. That inspection took a few hours and they worked well with the home inspector( from another company). At the end of each inspection; they handed us a manual on home maintenance, gave useful advice and recommendations. They inspect from top to bottom--no cutting corners! As for customer service; they cover their shoes upon entering the home, they respond quickly(phone or email) and will do whatever they can to assist you. We highly recommend Main Choice Inspection, especially for the first time homeowner, they are licensed and certified."

FAQs for complete home inspection projects in Portland, ME

An electrical inspection usually takes one to two hours. During the inspection, your electrician will follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure your home is safe and up to legal safety standards. They'll check your electrical system, including wires, appliances, meter box, panel, circuit breakers, and more.

Afterward, you'll receive a detailed checklist of everything they examined, along with a report highlighting any urgent issues—often with photos. They might also offer tips on how to save energy and improve your system's efficiency.

Regular electrical inspections protect your home and family by ensuring that every part of your electrical system operates safely. Scheduling inspections reduces the risk of electrical fires and cuts high insurance premiums by detecting problems early. Inspections defend against hidden system failures and maintain your property’s overall value, making them an essential part of home maintenance.

Full home electrical inspections are essential when buying a new home because every wiring detail must be evaluated. If you are not purchasing a home and have no significant concerns, a basic safety inspection is sufficient. However, for older properties or homes that have not been inspected for a long time, a comprehensive inspection is required to detect hidden issues and ensure complete safety.
