Single Family Home Inspections
Our single-family home inspections evaluate all major systems, including structure, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, to identify defects or maintenance needs. Clients receive a detailed 63-page report within 24 hours, highlighting hazards and actionable recommendations. This service empowers buyers, sellers, and investors to make informed decisions about their property investments.
Condominium Inspections
Condominium inspections focus on owner-responsible components like interior systems, plumbing, and electrical, while noting potential association-covered issues. We identify hidden defects such as failing galvanized plumbing, aluminum wiring, or siding problems. Our reports help buyers negotiate repairs and avoid costly post-closing surprises.
Radon Testing
Radon testing measures indoor radon levels using Continuous Radon Monitors to assess lung cancer risks. Results guide mitigation recommendations if levels exceed 4.0 pCi/L. This service aligns with EPA guidelines, ensuring clients understand health risks and compliance requirements for safe occupancy.

Consulting services range from single-component reviews to multi-system analyses, tailored to client needs. We provide expert advice for property transactions, maintenance planning, or dispute resolution. Our approach ensures clients receive targeted insights without unnecessary complexity.
