Services
Full Home Inspection
A comprehensive visual evaluation of a home's major systems and components, including structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roof. Our inspections follow ASHI standards to identify defects and maintenance needs, helping clients make informed purchase or sale decisions. Reports include detailed findings with photos and repair recommendations.
Infrared Inspection
Using infrared thermography to detect hidden issues like moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and energy loss. This non-invasive technology reveals temperature differences in building materials, enabling early identification of problems such as roof leaks or insulation gaps. Certified inspectors interpret thermal data alongside moisture meter readings for accurate diagnostics.
Radon Gas Test
Measurement of indoor radon levels using EPA-approved testing methods. Radon, a leading cause of lung cancer, requires professional assessment to ensure home safety. We provide short-term and long-term testing options with lab-certified results, offering mitigation guidance if elevated levels are detected.
Annual Home Maintenance
Seasonal evaluation of home systems and components to prevent costly repairs. This service identifies wear-and-tear issues in plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more, providing prioritized maintenance plans. Ideal for new homeowners learning property care or existing owners verifying upkeep effectiveness.
Move-In Inspection
Pre-sale assessment to identify property defects before listing. Sellers receive detailed reports highlighting repairs needed to maximize marketability and justify asking prices. This proactive approach reduces negotiation delays by addressing issues upfront, ensuring smoother transactions for all parties involved.
