Services
Home Inspection
Our residential inspections identify structural and system conditions in existing homes. We examine HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural components to help buyers, sellers, and owners make informed decisions. Our reports include maintenance recommendations and repair prioritization.
Commercial Real Estate Inspection
We evaluate commercial properties including offices, restaurants, and investment properties. Our inspections cover building systems, structural integrity, and maintenance issues. We coordinate with specialized contractors when needed to provide comprehensive assessments for informed business decisions.
Radon Testing
Our EPA-compliant radon testing uses continuous monitoring for accurate results. We measure basement radon levels over 48 hours and provide mitigation guidance when necessary. Testing helps protect occupants from this leading cause of lung cancer in homes across Wisconsin.
Seller's Inspection
This service identifies property issues before listing to maximize sale potential. We document existing conditions and provide repair recommendations to help sellers address problems proactively, potentially increasing sale price and reducing negotiation challenges.
Preventive Maintenance Inspection
Scheduled inspections identify maintenance needs every 3-5 years. We assess system conditions and provide maintenance schedules to help homeowners prevent costly repairs. Early issue detection extends property lifespan and maintains value.

Questions
Why do I need a home inspection when buying a property?
A professional inspection identifies hidden issues that could cost thousands to repair. Our detailed evaluation helps buyers understand property condition and negotiate effectively.
Should I attend the home inspection process?
While not required, attending lets you ask questions and learn maintenance requirements directly from the inspector during property walkthrough.
When should I schedule a home inspection?
Schedule immediately after offer acceptance. Make your purchase contingent on inspection results to protect your investment.
Can I perform the home inspection myself?
Professional inspections are required for contingent offers. Our objective evaluation and technical expertise provide more reliable results than informal assessments.
What if the inspection reveals problems?
No property is perfect. Our report helps you negotiate repairs, adjust purchase price, or decide whether to proceed with the transaction.
Why test for radon?
Radon causes lung cancer and affects homes statewide. Testing identifies dangerous levels before purchase, allowing mitigation system installation if needed.
