Services
Home Inspection
Our home inspections evaluate critical systems including roofs, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundations, and insulation. We prioritize identifying safety hazards, operational issues, and maintenance needs. Clients receive a detailed digital report with photos, videos, and repair prioritization to make informed purchasing or selling decisions. Inspections last 3-4 hours, with virtual walkthroughs available for remote buyers.
Radon Testing
We use EPA-verified continuous radon monitors to measure levels over 48 hours, providing hour-by-hour data and same-day results. Testing occurs in the lowest living area, with reports emailed immediately after analysis. Our NRPP-certified team educates clients on mitigation options if levels exceed 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA action threshold.
Commercial Inspection
Commercial inspections assess roofs, mechanical systems, fire safety, and structural integrity per InterNACHI-CCPIA standards. Reports include executive summaries, photo documentation, and maintenance recommendations. Inspections range from 3 hours to multiple days depending on property size, with reports delivered within 24-72 hours.
4-Point Insurance Inspection
Focused on roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, this inspection meets insurer requirements for older homes. We identify defects affecting insurability and provide a certification letter for policies. Reports help clients secure coverage or negotiate repairs before closing.
Walk-Through Consultation
Ideal for time-sensitive offers, this 60-minute consultation highlights critical issues without a full report. Our experts identify red flags in visible systems, helping buyers decide whether to proceed with a full inspection while maintaining discretion during competitive offers.
