Services we offer

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

Residential Inspections

We know that purchasing a home is one of the largest investments that you’ll make throughout your lifetime. With this in mind, we take care to note every detail possible during the inspection process.

New Build Stage Inspections

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.

Condo/Town House Inspections

Condos can have many of the same issues that homes can have, so it is important to make sure that the area is a safe place to live!

Swimming Pool Inspections

We’ll inspect your pool thoroughly–from filters and pumps to plumbing and heaters–to identify any issues and provide appropriate recommendations.

Builder's Warranty Inspections

Just because your home is new, doesn’t mean it is defect-free. At your 11-month mark, this may be your last chance to take advantage of your warranty!

Manufactured Home Inspections

We inspect the different components and systems of your mobile/manufactured home based on the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Standards for Manufactured and Mobile Homes.

Multi-Family Home/Multiplex Inspections

 A multi-unit inspection is a non-invasive visual analysis of each unit that we are given access to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying or selling a home shouldn’t be a stressful experience, because we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.

A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.

Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.

A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. If there are any concerns marked on your home inspection report, they will be strictly informative.

While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.

A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons:

1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home,

2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
