Residential Inspections

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.

Pre-Drywall Inspections

A pre-drywall inspection involves a thorough examination of a home's structural and system components before drywall is installed. This inspection ensures that the framing, electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and other critical elements meet safety and quality standards. The goal is to identify and address any issues while they are still accessible, preventing costly repairs and ensuring the home's safety and integrity.

Pre-Listing Inspections

The purpose of a Pre-Listing Inspection is to receive a professional examination of a home's major systems and components before it is listed for sale. The inspection helps sellers identify potential problems or repairs that may need to be addressed, and can help avoid delays in the sale process.

11 Month Warranty

An 11-month warranty inspection is a crucial review conducted on a property to identify and address any issues before the builder's one-year warranty expires. This inspection helps homeowners ensure that all necessary repairs and adjustments are made at no extra cost, safeguarding their investment and maintaining the property's value.

Multi-Unit Inspections

Multi-unit inspections involve a comprehensive examination of all units within a multi-family property, ensuring that each complies with safety and quality standards. These inspections help property owners maintain the overall quality and safety of the complex, preventing costly repairs and legal issues in the future.

Condo Inspections

A condo inspection involves a thorough evaluation of the unit's interior and accessible exterior areas to assess its condition and identify potential issues. This includes inspecting electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, appliances, structural components, interior, attics, and much more, providing a detailed report with recommendations for repairs and maintenance.

New Construction Inspections

New construction inspections are thorough evaluations of newly built properties to ensure they meet safety and quality standards. These inspections help identify any defects or issues early on, providing homeowners with peace of mind and protecting their investment.

Rental Property Inspections

Rental property inspections are periodic evaluations conducted to ensure that rental units meet safety standards and remain in good condition. These inspections help landlords identify necessary repairs and maintenance, protecting their investment and ensuring a safe living environment for tenants.

Pool & Spa Inspections

Pool and Spa inspections are essential for ensuring the safety and functionality of these facilities, looking over the structural integrity, equipment, electrical supply, coping, and any safety issues immediately surrounding the area. These inspections help prevent accidents and health issues, ensuring a safe environment for all users.

Drone Inspections

We operate a drone with a 4k video camera, a 48 megapixel still camera, and a 9x zoom so that we can safely fly over your roof to take pictures and videos to ensure that it is properly inspected. This is included FREE with every inspection if needed.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is included for FREE with every home inspection. Thermal imaging can allow us to see things like overheating electrical, missing or inadequate insulation, building envelope air leaks, moisture intrusion, and plumbing leaks.

Annual Maintenance

Annual maintenance inspections are routine evaluations performed to assess the condition of a property and identify any necessary repairs or upkeep. These inspections help prevent major issues, extend the lifespan of the property, and ensure it remains safe and functional year-round.

The use of thermal imaging by our certified home inspector is crucial for detecting hidden issues that are not visible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging cameras can identify temperature variations in a home, which helps in locating problems such as insulation deficiencies, electrical hotspots, moisture intrusion, and air leaks. These issues, if left undetected, can lead to significant energy loss, potential fire hazards, structural damage, and mold growth. By using thermal imaging, our inspector provides a more comprehensive and accurate assessment, ensuring that homeowners can address these problems early and maintain a safe, efficient, and comfortable living environment.”

Using a drone to inspect a roof when it is unsafe to walk on is a vital aspect of a home inspector’s role. This technology allows for a thorough examination of the roof’s condition without risking personal safety. Drones can capture high-resolution images and videos of hard-to-reach areas, identifying issues such as damaged shingles, leaks, structural weaknesses, and other potential problems. This ensures a comprehensive assessment of the roof’s integrity and helps homeowners address issues early, preventing costly repairs and maintaining the home’s overall health. Drone inspections provide a safe, efficient, and accurate way to evaluate the roof, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

The use of a quality moisture meter by our certified home inspector is essential for accurately detecting and measuring moisture levels in various parts of a home. Moisture meters help identify hidden water damage, leaks, and areas prone to mold growth that are not immediately visible. Excessive moisture can lead to structural damage, deteriorate building materials, and create an unhealthy living environment. By utilizing a moisture meter, our home inspector can pinpoint problem areas, assess the severity of moisture intrusion, and provide recommendations for necessary repairs. This ensures that homeowners can address moisture issues promptly, protecting their investment and ensuring a safe, healthy home.

A crawlspace inspection is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and safety of a home. Crawlspaces often house essential components like plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC systems, and the foundation. Inspecting this area helps identify issues such as moisture intrusion, pest infestations, structural damage, and ventilation problems. Early detection of these issues can prevent costly repairs, improve air quality, and ensure the long-term durability of the home. A thorough crawlspace inspection provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that potential problems are addressed before they escalate.
