Services
Buyers Residential Home Inspections
Our buyers inspections provide comprehensive assessments of property condition, covering structural integrity, electrical systems, and HVAC functionality. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations, enabling informed purchase decisions. Our licensed inspectors identify hidden issues that could impact property value or safety.
New Construction Inspections
We conduct thorough evaluations of newly built properties at various construction stages. Our inspections verify code compliance, material quality, and workmanship standards. Early defect detection helps prevent costly future repairs while ensuring builder accountability through documented findings.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing identifies harmful gas concentrations in residential properties. Using certified equipment, we measure indoor air quality and provide mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected. Our EPA-recognized testing protocols ensure accurate results for occupant safety.
Lead Paint Testing
Certified lead paint inspections identify hazardous materials in pre-1978 properties. We employ XRF analysis and surface sampling to determine risk levels. Our reports guide remediation efforts while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations for property transactions.
11th Month Builders Warranty Inspections
We perform comprehensive assessments of new homes before warranty expiration. Our inspectors document construction defects and system malfunctions, facilitating builder repairs. This proactive approach protects homeowners from assuming financial responsibility for pre-existing issues.
