Our comprehensive home inspections examine all major systems including roofing, structural components, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify construction quality issues and potential safety hazards while providing maintenance recommendations. The service includes a detailed written report with digital images and on-site explanation of findings.
New Construction Inspection
This specialized inspection focuses on newly constructed homes to identify workmanship issues and code compliance concerns. We verify proper installation of systems and components before final walkthroughs. Our inspection helps protect buyers from costly post-occupancy repairs through early defect detection.

We conduct professional radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radon gas levels in homes. The service includes placement of testing equipment, data collection over required periods, and detailed results interpretation according to EPA standards. Reports include mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected.
Phase Inspections
These inspections monitor construction progress at key development stages to ensure quality control. We verify proper installation of structural components, mechanical systems, and finish work. Our service helps identify and correct issues before they become costly post-construction problems.

We assess system condition and identify safety concerns that might affect insurability. The service provides insurance companies with documented evidence of property maintenance standards.
