What to Expect from Your Inspection

We’ll inspect the structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof, using the latest tools and technology.  We encourage you to attend your inspection so that we can describe our process, explain our findings, point out important maintenance items, and answer all of your questions.  As a state-licensed Certified Professional Inspector trainied by InterNACHI, we follow comprehensive Residential Standards of Practice.

Following our evaluation, we’ll compile our findings in an easy-to-read report, which will include detailed descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues we’ve discovered.  We’ll email you your report within 24 hours, and our job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.
