Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. Ideal for buyers and sellers, this service identifies critical issues to prevent future expenses. Our certified inspectors use advanced tools to deliver actionable insights for informed property decisions.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology enhances standard inspections by identifying energy inefficiencies and early-stage problems. Homeowners and buyers benefit from precise diagnostics that prevent costly repairs down the line.
Termite Inspection
Specialized termite inspections identify active infestations, wood damage, and conducive conditions. We assess both visible and hidden areas for wood-destroying insects, providing treatment recommendations when needed. This service protects property investments by catching pest issues before they escalate.
New Construction Inspection
New construction inspections verify workmanship quality and code compliance during building phases. We identify defects in materials, installation, or systems before final walkthroughs. This ensures homes meet contractual specifications and helps buyers negotiate repairs prior to closing.
4-Point Inspection
4-point inspections evaluate roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for insurance purposes. Required by many carriers, this service identifies risks in older homes to determine coverage eligibility. Our detailed reports help property owners secure affordable insurance policies.

Questions
What does a home inspection cover?
Our inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, windows, doors, and potential safety hazards. We also check for moisture intrusion, pest activity, and major system defects.
Is thermal imaging included at no cost?
Yes, thermal imaging comes standard with every inspection to detect hidden moisture, electrical issues, and insulation problems without additional charges.
How long does an inspection take?
Residential inspections typically take 2-3 hours depending on property size and complexity. We provide detailed reports within hours after completing the on-site evaluation.
Do you inspect commercial properties?
Our primary focus is residential inspections for single-family homes, condos, and townhouses. We recommend specialized commercial inspectors for larger non-residential buildings.
Can I attend the inspection?
Clients are encouraged to join inspections to ask questions and observe the process. We provide real-time explanations of findings to enhance understanding of property conditions.
What if issues are found after closing?
We offer post-inspection consultation to clarify findings and help prioritize repairs. While we don't perform repairs ourselves, we can recommend qualified professionals for follow-up work.
