Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roof. Using advanced tools like drones and thermal imaging, we identify potential issues to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions. Our detailed reports with photos provide clear documentation of property conditions.
Infrared Inspections
Thermal imaging detects hidden problems like moisture intrusion, energy loss, and electrical hotspots. This non-invasive technology reveals temperature variations that indicate potential issues in walls, roofs, and electrical systems. Our certified inspectors interpret thermal data to provide actionable insights for property maintenance and energy efficiency improvements.
Home Energy Scores
Home Energy Scores assess a property's energy efficiency using standardized testing methods. We identify energy waste through blower door tests, duct leakage analysis, and combustion safety checks. Our reports provide cost-effective solutions to improve efficiency and reduce utility costs for homeowners and potential buyers.
Commercial Inspections
Specialized inspections for commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, and apartment complexes. We evaluate structural components and major systems to identify maintenance needs and potential liabilities. Our reports help investors and business owners make informed decisions about property acquisitions and management.

As certified raters, we conduct field inspections and diagnostic testing for new construction and HVAC installations. Our third-party verification documents energy performance to meet building code requirements and support sustainable building practices.
