Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence. As trained professionals we have has seen it all, and we will provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Homeowners 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 know everything about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have a professional home inspection. We have the training to identify problem areas both small and large that the previous owners may have overlooked.  Moreover, we can identify which problems require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details.

Sellers Inspection
Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it is always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses.  We can help you evaluate any existing problems and determine which to address immediately 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.

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 during various stages of the construction process, including slab, frame, and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home that you have dreamed about.

Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. During the first year, the buyer generally 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. Our home inspector’s list of items that will most likely need repair is a valuable, money-saving resource.

Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your home. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property to alert you to possible problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information.

We inspect for these hazards:

• Lead: Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. In general, the older a home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. See Lead FAQ.
  
  
• Mold: There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances. 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. See Radon FAQ.
  
  
• Termites or other wood-destroying organisms: These pests cause serious damage to wooden structures and posts and also attack stored food, household furniture, and books. See Termite Facts.
