Our Services

Our home inspections are performed with great care and attention to detail.

RESIDENTIAL
INSPECTION

A visual examination of the principal systems, structures, and components of the home that are visually and safely accessible. Industry and state-specific standards of practice are followed to document any functional and/or safety-related deficiencies observed.

new construction
Inspection

Newly constructed homes need an objective third-party to inspect. The city or county inspectors often don’t catch everything, but we’ve been trained to have a keen eye for anything that could compromise a new home’s lifetime or safety.

11th month warranty inspection

Just because a home is new doesn’t necessarily mean it is defect-free. At the 11-month mark, the home has lived through all 4 seasons and “full loads” have been put on the systems. It is the perfect time to “take another look” before your 1-year Builder’s Warranty expires!

annual home maintenance inspection

Ensure responsible homeownership. Identify issues, plan upkeep, and maintain your home’s condition. Let us help you stay on top of your investment with this inspection.

thermal imaging

Thermal Imaging Technology is used to scan interior home surfaces in order to detect concealed issues like leaks (e.g., plumbing, ducts, roof), overloaded electrical circuits or systems, unwanted or unexpected moisture intrusion, temperature anomalies, or missing insulation.

pre-listing
inspection

Many homeowners choose to get a pre-listing inspection to give them insight into their home’s condition and possibly make repairs prior to listing their home.
