Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and safety hazards. We identify maintenance needs and potential issues to protect buyers' investments. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations.
FORTIFIED Evaluations
FORTIFIED evaluations strengthen homes against severe weather through code-compliant upgrades. We guide homeowners through certification processes, ensuring compliance with IBHS standards for insurance discounts and property safety.
Lead-Based Paint Testing
Using advanced XRF technology, we detect lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes. Results are delivered within 24 hours, accompanied by risk mitigation strategies to protect family health and property value.
Enhanced Well Inspections
Our well inspections analyze 75+ components, including pump efficiency and water flow. Each inspection includes a 3-month warranty (extendable to 12 months) to prevent costly repairs and ensure safe water supply.
