Our Services
Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence.
As trained professionals we have has seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable
consumer. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can
understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making
repairs. Our inspection services include:
Buyers Inspection
In both new and older homes,
the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you
a professional home inspection. Our inspection is an objective examination of the visible and accessible components of the
home. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large and to identify items which require immediate attention.
See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Sellers Inspection/Pre-Listing Inspection
Whether you are selling your
home on your own or using a Realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is
power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately
addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
New Build Inspection/Construction Inspection
In a new home, the quality
of construction is often not what it used to be some years ago, therefore many buyers have independent reviews of their properties
just prior to the final builder walk-through and closing, or during various stages of the construction process, including
slab, frame, and final inspection. This inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the
quality home that you’ve dreamed about.
Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a
one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during the first year of home ownership the buyer develops a "punch
list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the
untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain our home inspectors report of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder
at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that
could cost you a great deal down the road.
Environmental Hazards-Radon, Mold
Our job as your
professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards
in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible
problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information.
We inspect for these hazards:
- Mold: There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water, warmth, or moisture. Molds
can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances. Our inspectors do a visual inspection for
mold as part of our normal service. See Mold FAQ.
- Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring
radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect
in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations. Our state of the art electronic monitors tell you hourly how the gas flows
through your home. Radon Testing is offered at an additional cost. See Radon FAQ.
