Buyer’s Inspections
When making the big decision to buy a house, buyers should know what to expect. We thoroughly inspect the house, noting any defects, damages, and the condition of every system and component that we can see and access safely. We will inspect the accessible areas listed below:
- Exterior
- Interior
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- HVAC
Pre-listing / Sellers Inspection
Inspections are an important part of the home selling process as well. Buyers are more likely to be interested in a home that is free of flaws and has been well-maintained by the seller. During the Seller’s Home Inspection, we inspect the home before it is listed, assisting the seller in identifying issues that should be addressed prior to listing.
New Construction Inspection
Let us take on the stress of inspecting a newly constructed home for details and flaws that may have gone unnoticed during the construction process. Before the final walkthrough with the builder, a New Construction Inspection ensures that the builder has all of the information they need to better prepare the home for you.
New Construction Phase Inspection
Having a construction project inspected at various stages assists builders in producing a defect-free and high-quality project. The client may specify the number of Phase Inspections required.
Commercial Buildings / Property inspections
We offer Commercial Building Inspections of any size and specialize in multi-family properties. We will thoroughly inspect the building’s condition so that buyers and owners can make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance.
11-Month / Builders Warranty
Our 11-Month/Builder’s Warranty Inspection provides a detailed evaluation of your property nearing the end of its one-year builder’s warranty for those in the early stages of homeownership. Identifying potential issues before the warranty expires allows homeowners to raise concerns with the builder, ensuring that any necessary repairs are covered and providing you with peace of mind in your new home.
Home Maintenance Inspections
With our Home Maintenance Inspection service, you can ensure the long-term health of your property. This comprehensive assessment should identify potential problems, wear and tear, and areas that require maintenance. Staying proactive allows homeowners to address minor issues before they become major issues, preserving the integrity and value of their homes.
Re-Inspections
If you want some extra peace of mind after the initial Buyer’s Inspection, you can schedule a Re-Inspection. After repairs have been completed, a re-inspection of the home will ensure that all changes were completed as agreed upon between buyer and seller.
Radon Testing
We take safety during our inspections seriously, which is why we recommend adding Radon Testing to your home inspection. Radon is a highly toxic gas that can enter your home through the soil. Exposure to the gas can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer. Because radon is odorless and invisible, professional equipment is required to measure its levels in the home in order to keep your family safe.
WDO / Termite Inspection
If you suspect a termite infestation in your home or want to ensure that no structural damage caused by an infestation goes unnoticed, we will assist you in scheduling a Termite Inspection with a professional that will coincide with our own inspection, saving you time, money, and the hassle of scheduling.
