Home Inspections
Ellingwood Pro conducts comprehensive home inspections evaluating structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and exterior components. Our certified inspectors use non-invasive techniques to identify defects, providing detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations. Clients receive same-day digital reports and a 60-minute consultation to review findings, ensuring clarity for buyers, sellers, or homeowners.
New Construction Inspections
Our new construction inspections verify compliance with building codes and identify defects in recently built homes. The process includes pre-drywall and final inspections, assessing foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. We document issues with photos and actionable steps for builders, ensuring quality control before warranty expiration and protecting homeowner investments.
Radon Testing
Ellingwood Pro performs EPA-approved radon testing using continuous monitoring devices over 48+ hours. Our inspections measure radon levels in residential properties, providing lab-certified results and mitigation guidance. This service ensures homes meet safety standards, addressing a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers through accurate detection and reporting.
Thermal Leak Scans
Using infrared imaging, our thermal leak scans detect hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and energy inefficiencies. This non-invasive technology identifies temperature variations in walls and ceilings, revealing potential water damage or heat loss. Results help homeowners address issues proactively, reducing utility costs and preventing structural damage through targeted repairs.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-listing inspections empower sellers with detailed property assessments before market entry. Ellingwood Pro evaluates roof, foundation, electrical, and HVAC systems, providing repair recommendations to enhance marketability. Sellers receive documentation to justify pricing, reduce negotiation surprises, and expedite sales by addressing defects proactively, backed by our expertise in real estate transactions.

Lenny was great, he was very thorough and did both my pre-drywall and final inspections. He explained everything as he went through and I had the report the same day. They were super flexible and were able to fit me in on short notice after I had to reschedule multiple times due to building delays and weather. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Ellingwood Pro Home Inspections. Our home inspector was extremely thorough in his inspection and he provided key insights into the home that helped us evaluate the integrity of the home. The inspector provided us a comprehensive report with pictures that included recommended fixes, potential hazards, and items that needed additional investigation by a licensed professional.

This company is very professional, and I'd recommend them to anyone who is wanting to have a home inspection completed prior to purchasing a home! They are very thorough in their inspections and they break things down in a language you can understand without all the technical talk. This company helped me in dodging a bullet in regards to a purchase I was looking at, and helped direct me to the people I needed to talk to in order to determine what I needed. All in all GREAT company and would recommend to anyone!
