Our comprehensive home inspections provide peace of mind for buyers, sellers, and homeowners. We carefully evaluate the property’s major systems, structure, and safety features, delivering clear, detailed reports so you can make confident decisions.
Thinking of selling your home? A Pre-Listing Inspection allows you to identify potential issues before your property hits the market. Addressing concerns early not only helps you avoid last-minute negotiations, it also builds trust with buyers and may even increase your home’s value.
Even brand-new homes can have problems. Our New Construction Inspection ensures your builder delivered quality workmanship, proper installation, and full code compliance. We act as your second set of eyes so you don’t inherit expensive surprises in your “dream home.”
Builders often provide a one-year warranty on new homes — but most homeowners don’t realize they should schedule a professional inspection before it expires. Our 11-Month Warranty Inspection documents defects, workmanship issues, and warranty-covered repairs so you can hold your builder accountable.
Condos and townhomes come with unique inspection needs, especially when some areas are maintained by an HOA. We focus on unit-specific systems and safety, giving you clarity on what’s your responsibility vs. the association’s — and peace of mind before you buy.
When repairs are made after your initial inspection, it’s smart to confirm they were done correctly. Our Re-Inspection Services ensure that contractors completed the work properly and that the property is truly ready for closing.
