Inspection Services

Pre-Listing Inspection
When you are ready to sell your home, a presale home inspection can be used to prepare your home to go on the market. The inspection will help you in correcting problem areas that could compromise a sale or lead to delays due to renegotiations and amended contracts, expediting the sales process. The inspection will help you get the highest price in the shortest time period. The inspection report can even be used as a sales tool to show to prospective buyers.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
When you are ready to purchase an existing home, a pre-purchase home inspection will provide you with an unemotional, unbiased, informed report on the condition of the home and its systems. We inspect the structure and all the major systems of the house and provide you a comprehensive, easy to understand report. The inspection will help you reduce your risk and make an informed purchase decision.

New Construction Inspection
When you are having a new home constructed, inspections can be used to evaluate construction from the time the foundation is excavated to the final walk through. The new construction inspection can be customized to the number of construction phase visits that you feel are necessary. New home construction inspections have become even more important as the increasing use of sub-contractors has lead to decreased communication and supervision on the building sites. These construction phase inspections save money and time by addressing problems when they are visible and easy to correct.

New Home Warranty Expiration Inspection
With new homes, the builder usually offers a home construction warranty. The warranty period in our area varies by builder from 6 months to 2 years. A warranty inspection performed prior to the expiration is a through and comprehensive inspection of the home that will provide a list of items that need to be addressed by the builder before the warranty expires.

Investor property inspections are performed prior to purchase. These are performed to identify defects, negotiate repairs or price adjustments. Often, out of state investors rely on us to verify condition of the property.
