A Beautiful Home Can Still Hide Expensive Problems

That fresh paint, new flooring and staged furniture only tell part of the story. Hidden issues behind walls, inside attics, beneath foundations or within major systems can lead to unexpected repairs after closing. A professional inspection gives you the information you need before you sign.

Home Inspection Services We Offer

Standard Home Inspection

A standard home inspection provides a thorough visual review of all accessible areas of the home—including the roof, structure, systems, and appliances—along with a detailed report highlighting priority issues and routine maintenance recommendations.

Buyer Home Inspection (Pre-Purchase)

This service is ideal for buyers who want clear facts about the home before closing. Our home buyers inspection service helps identify water intrusion, drainage concerns, structural movement, and system issues that may affect repairs, safety, or negotiations.

Seller Home Inspection (Pre-Listing)

A pre-listing inspection is optimal for sellers who want fewer surprises after the home goes under contract. This inspection identifies items you may want to address before listing so you can plan repairs and disclose issues with confidence.

New Construction Home Inspection

We offer a phased option for new homes. Schedule a pre-drywall inspection to review foundation and framing items and rough-in work that is still visible, then schedule a final inspection before move-in to verify finishes and system operation.

Annual Home Maintenance Inspection

An annual home maintenance inspection is a periodic examination that helps homeowners spot emerging issues and plan repairs on a reasonable timeline.

11 Month Builder Warranty Inspection

We offer a focused inspection near the end of the first year of ownership so you can document concerns to share with the builder while warranty coverage is still in effect.
