Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major property systems including structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify potential issues in both new and historic homes. Our detailed reports help clients make informed real estate decisions while our on-site explanations ensure complete understanding of findings.
New Construction Inspection
Specialized inspections for newly built homes identify construction defects before final walkthroughs. We examine workmanship quality, system functionality, and code compliance to protect buyers from future repair costs. Our reports help negotiate corrections with builders while systems are still under warranty.
Historic Home Inspection
Tailored assessments for older homes evaluate original materials, structural integrity, and system updates. We identify maintenance needs specific to historic properties while preserving architectural character. Our reports highlight restoration requirements and potential code compliance issues unique to older constructions.
Air Quality Testing
Comprehensive air quality assessments detect mold spores, allergens, and harmful particulates. Using specialized sampling equipment, we identify contamination sources and provide remediation recommendations. This service ensures healthy living environments by addressing ventilation issues and pollutant sources.
Radon Testing
Professional radon level measurements use continuous monitoring devices for accurate results. We follow EPA protocols to detect this odorless radioactive gas that can seep through foundations. Our reports include mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are found, protecting occupants from long-term health risks.
