Services
Full Home Inspection
Our comprehensive inspection covers all visible structural components and systems including foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Certified inspectors identify maintenance needs and potential issues with detailed digital reporting. Clients receive photo documentation and personalized walkthrough explanations to support informed decision-making.
Drone Roof Inspections
Using advanced drone technology, we conduct detailed roof evaluations that access hard-to-reach areas. This non-invasive method detects hidden damage, wear patterns, and structural concerns while maintaining safety standards. The service provides high-resolution imagery for accurate repair assessments and insurance documentation.
New Construction Inspection
Phase-based inspections monitor construction progress at critical stages including foundation, framing, and final completion. We verify compliance with building codes and identify workmanship issues early. This service helps ensure quality control for out-of-town property owners and busy professionals.
Infrared Inspection
Thermal imaging technology detects energy loss, moisture intrusion, and electrical hotspots invisible to the naked eye. This diagnostic tool identifies hidden issues in walls, ceilings, and mechanical systems. The non-destructive assessment enhances standard inspection findings for comprehensive property evaluation.
11-Month Warranty Inspection
Timely evaluation before warranty expiration identifies covered defects needing builder remediation. We document construction flaws and system failures while maintaining warranty protection. This service prevents unexpected post-warranty repair costs through proactive issue detection.
