Buyer’s Inspections

Our most common home inspection is tailored for buyers. When a home goes under contract, buyers can hire a licensed inspector to report on the condition of their home. Our inspection report can be used to negotiate prices or repairs with the seller.

Pre-Listing / Seller’s Inspection

Sellers can elect to build trust with their buyers and have their home inspected before listing on the market. This can help avoid surprises during listing and negotiation and enable sellers to choose to boost the value of their home by fixing it before going to market.

New Construction and Phase Inspections

Newer-built homes are not immune from having defects that need to be repaired before moving in. This inspection ensures builders aren’t cutting corners and that all codes are being followed. Phase inspections are done pre-foundation pour, pre-drywall, and before final signing.

11-Month / Builder’s Warranty

Most builders offer a 12-month warranty. Taking advantage of the 11th-month builder’s warranty inspection gives your home ample time to withstand the changing seasons and present any problems. Turn in to your builder to hold them responsible before any undiscovered issues become your problem alone.

Home Maintenance Inspection

Offered to current homeowners as a preventative measure, a home maintenance inspection is a checkup for your home. We will examine your property’s structures, components, and systems to check for anything that may require repair or replacement.

4-Point Inspection

This service covers your home’s four major systems: roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, for optimal operating conditions. During our inspection, we will report on the condition, needed repairs, and life expectancy.

Re-Inspections

This service is offered to customers who have previously received an inspection service from us. Our inspectors will confirm that all the repairs recommended were appropriately completed to the highest standards.

Commercial Buildings / Property Inspection

Buying commercial real estate is a significant investment. We offer services for light and heavy commercial spaces. Our certified inspector will highlight the actual condition of your property and the costs required for repair. During the inspection, we will assess the life spans of your property’s internal and external components and five major systems: roofing, structural integrity, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
