Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. We identify maintenance needs and repair requirements while explaining findings clearly to clients. Each inspection includes written documentation with photographic evidence and prioritized recommendations for informed decision-making.
Equestrian Properties
Specialized inspections for horse properties assess barn structures, fencing, stable conditions, and agricultural infrastructure alongside standard home evaluation criteria. We examine specialized systems like arena footing, animal housing, and land drainage while considering operational requirements for equestrian activities and livestock management.
Pre-Drywall Inspections
Conducted during new home construction, these inspections examine framing, electrical rough-ins, plumbing, and HVAC systems before drywall installation. We identify code violations, structural concerns, and system inefficiencies early to prevent costly modifications after completion while ensuring compliance with building regulations.
Radon Testing
We perform continuous radon monitoring using calibrated equipment to measure radioactive gas levels in indoor air. Our EPA-qualified inspectors follow strict protocols for accurate readings while explaining mitigation options if elevated levels are detected during standard home inspections.
Remote Inspections
This service provides real-time video walkthroughs for clients unable to attend inspections in person. We use secure streaming technology to show property conditions while answering questions live, ensuring transparency and accessibility for international buyers or those with scheduling constraints.
