Tools & Technology
It used to be that a flashlight and a clipboard was all an inspector carried. Times have changed and we now have access to cutting-edge tools that make us more efficient and allow us to see more of the home.
We also provide advanced services like thermography and mold testing. Ask us about it when scheduling your inspection!
Clear and Concise Report
Understanding the condition of your new purchase is important. We inspect the critical components of a home and provide you with clear, detailed descriptions and photos of your home.
Our report is our product in many ways. That’s why we’ve invested in modern reporting systems that incorporate photos and video into a dedicated webpage for each inspection. You can also download a PDF version of your report and print it out if you’d like to read a hard copy version.
Extra Protection
Most home inspection reports point out that the condition of a home may change after the inspection and so they can’t predict the future. While this is true, it doesn’t help home buyers when a repair may be needed shortly after an inspection or a safety recall is issued on an appliance. That’s why we provide a RecallChek report and several warranties with every inspection that cover items from structural and mechanical to underground sewer lines and roofs.
Quality First Inspection
As Certified Professional Home Inspectors, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from the roof to the foundation. Outside the home, we will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then we will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows.
The heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.
Customer Service is Our Highest Priority
