What we do
A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home. If you are thinking of buying a home, multifamily, commercial building, or townhouse; you should have it properly inspected by an experienced and impartial professional before the purchase. A home inspector presents their professional opinion as to the positive aspects of the home or commercial property.
A detailed report informs you of major and minor problems with recommendations for more specific action if appropriate. Reports are given directly, mailed, or provided digitally.
