What does a home inspection include?
Our inspections cover structural components, HVAC systems, electrical and plumbing infrastructure, interior/exterior surfaces, and major mechanical systems. We provide photographic documentation and recommendations for identified issues.
Why do I need a home inspection?
A home inspection reveals current property conditions, identifies needed repairs, and helps buyers/sellers make informed decisions. Our reports provide objective assessments of structural and mechanical systems to support real estate transactions.
What preparation is needed before an inspection?
Ensure utilities are active, all doors and attic access points are accessible, and gas appliances are operational. Proper preparation allows complete evaluation of all systems and components during the inspection process.

No property passes or fails our inspection. We document current conditions and identify issues requiring attention. Our findings help clients understand maintenance needs rather than passing judgment on the property's overall value.
