Somerset County home inspections · NJMake the move.
With more understanding.
Considering a property in Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Franklin or Bernards Township? A Somerset County inspection gives you a closer look at the house, while its records help you ask better questions about the work that came before.
21 municipalities. One house that’s yours.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Follow the renovation history.
An updated room and a completed permit record answer different questions. Collect the seller’s project history, review available municipal records, and use the inspection to understand the visible condition of the work.
- 01
Do the permits explain the changes?
Look for descriptions and dates that match additions, basement work or replacement systems. A missing completion entry can reflect an outdated record; confirm the current status with the town.
- 02
Has the basement’s use changed?
Ask when the space was finished, whether water entry occurred and whether radon has been tested since major changes. Finished surfaces can conceal parts of the structure.
- 03
What supports the outdoor living space?
Arrange access to decks, steps and attached structures. Tell us about recent work so connections and visible supports can be considered during the inspection.
A SMART START
Let the address
lead the way.
Review available records before the inspection. They can help you ask better questions, but they do not describe every condition at the property.

ONE MORE THING
Does a permit without a completion date mean the work is still open?
Not necessarily. The source may be incomplete or behind the town’s current records. Ask the municipal construction office for the present status and any final approvals.
