Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence.  As trained professionals we have seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer/home owner.  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:

Buyer's 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. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify those which require immediate attention.  See our Inspection Overview for more details.

The last thing you want is to move into a house unaware of potential problems.  Problems could be costly to repair...or even hazardous to your health.  That’s why it’s critical to choose a “detective” service like ours to inspect the property.  In addition to a very thorough inspection of a home’s structure and systems, we offer additional testing for possible environmental hazards:

Seller's 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, 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.

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 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 this period of time 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 a good idea to obtain our home inspecto'rs list 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.

Energy Audit
The audit provides the home owner with peace of mind and comfort from your home – warm in the winter, cool in the summer.  The objective of the audit is to upgrade the energy efficiency of your home, in order to provide a more comfortable home, lower the energy bills, and achieve a cleaner environment.  The audit helps home owners lower their residential energy requirements by an average of 20%.  The energy report includes an inventory of the insulation, windows, heating and cooling systems, water heater and appliances.  It also includes a list of recommended improvements or replacements, an analysis of estimated costs and savings for each recommendation, and energy-efficiency strategies.

Senior Safety Inspection

There are many elderly people living in unsafe conditions, as they may not be able to properly maintain their homes on their own. Our senior safety inspection evaluates the condition of the home to determine, if there there are any safety issues present and what items are in need of current maintenance. We are the 'go to' resource for seniors needing advice about the current state of their home.  This service offers peace of mind to family members as well.
