Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate over 1600 structural and system components from roof to foundation. We identify current issues and potential concerns while providing detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations. This service helps buyers and sellers understand property conditions to make informed real estate decisions.
Pre-listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections help sellers identify property issues before listing. We provide detailed assessments that allow sellers to complete repairs and prepare documentation, making their homes more marketable while reducing the risk of buyer walk-offs during the sales process.
New Construction Inspection
Our new home inspections verify construction quality before closing. We examine all systems against new home standards to ensure proper installation and functionality, helping buyers confirm their investment meets expected quality benchmarks before finalizing purchase agreements.
Pre-drywall Inspection
Conducted before drywall installation, this inspection evaluates electrical, framing, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation systems. Identifying issues at this stage allows builders to make corrections before concealment, preventing costly repairs and potential project delays during the construction process.
Foreclosure Inspection
Specialized inspections for bank-owned properties assess systems affected by vacancy and maintenance neglect. We identify critical issues in these often-neglected properties to help buyers understand true condition versus apparent bargain pricing in foreclosure property transactions.
