Buyer’s Inspection
A buyer’s inspection is a comprehensive visual assessment of a home’s major systems and components, typically performed before closing on a purchase. The goal is to identify any safety concerns, defects, or maintenance issues that could affect your investment.
The following components are included in the inspection:
- Roof
- Exterior
- Foundation
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- HVAC
- Attic
- Insulation
- Interior
- Appliances
Advanced Tools for Smarter Inspections
We use modern inspection technology to uncover issues that aren’t always visible to the naked eye. From infrared cameras and aerial drones to moisture meters, CO detectors, and gas leak detectors, our tools help us deliver more accurate and detailed results you can count on.
Additional Inspection Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
Get ahead of any issues before putting your home on the market. A pre-listing inspection lets you make repairs on your terms and boosts buyer confidence.
New Construction Inspection
Even brand-new homes can have defects. We inspect for builder oversights so you can move in knowing everything is safe and up to standard.
New Construction Phase Inspections
Building a home? We inspect at key stages of construction to catch issues early—before they’re covered up and harder (or more expensive) to fix later.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
Before your builder’s one-year warranty expires, we’ll check for any problems that may have developed since you moved in. Catching issues now means the builder may cover the repairs.
Home Maintenance Inspection
Think of this as a checkup for your home. We help you spot small problems before they turn into big repairs, saving you time and money in the long run.
Re-inspections
After repairs are made, we’ll come back to double-check the work. A re-inspection ensures everything was done right and meets safety standards.
Air Quality Testing
We test for airborne contaminants like allergens, mold spores, and VOCs. It’s a simple way to make sure the air in your home is healthy and safe to breathe.
Radon Testing
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks. Our NRRP-certified testing checks levels accurately, so you can breathe easy.
Mold Testing
If you suspect mold, don’t guess—test. We use professional tools and lab analysis to detect mold growth and help you take the next steps with confidence.
Commercial Property Inspection
Commercial buildings come with big responsibilities. Our inspections help business owners, investors, and property managers understand the building’s condition and plan accordingly.
