Services
Complete Pre-Purchase Inspections
Our comprehensive inspections evaluate all major systems and components of residential properties. We identify structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC issues while providing clear explanations of findings. Clients receive detailed reports within 24 hours, with unlimited follow-up consultations to discuss repair priorities and maintenance needs.
Pre-Sale Home Inspections
We help homeowners identify and address potential issues before listing their property. Our inspections cover common problem areas to ensure smooth transactions. Sellers receive actionable recommendations to improve marketability and avoid last-minute negotiation surprises during the sales process.
11th Month Warranty Inspections
This specialized inspection identifies construction defects before new home warranties expire. We focus on hidden issues in walls, foundations, and systems that may develop within the first year. Early detection allows homeowners to address problems at no cost through existing warranty coverage.
New Home Construction Draw Inspections
We verify completed work stages for lenders and homeowners during new home builds. Our inspections ensure quality standards are met at each construction phase. We assess framing, electrical rough-ins, plumbing, and final finishes to validate contractor payment requests.
On-Site Consultations
Clients receive targeted evaluations of specific property concerns. We diagnose issues like water intrusion, foundation cracks, or system malfunctions during personalized site visits. Our consultations include immediate verbal reports and guidance for resolving identified problems.
