Professional Inspection Services

During your inspection, I assess all major systems and components of the home—such as the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. I use simple, modern tools to help identify concerns and provide a clearer picture of the property. Afterward, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report with photos, notes, and recommendations. My goal is to give you clarity and confidence, not overwhelm you with technical jargon.

A little preparation goes a long way. Make sure all areas of the home are accessible—especially the attic, crawlspace, electrical panel, and mechanical systems. Clearing away stored or personal items, unlocking gates or garages, and ensuring all utilities are on will help the inspection go smoothly and efficiently.

No. A home inspection is not a pass-or-fail event. Instead, it’s a detailed evaluation of the home’s current condition. Every house—even new construction—has issues. The purpose is simply to help you understand what’s going on so you can make informed decisions, negotiate confidently, or plan future maintenance.

Skipping a home inspection is never recommended. Even homes that appear well-maintained can hide issues that become expensive or unsafe later. An inspection gives you peace of mind, protects your investment, and helps you avoid surprises after closing.

No. Ethical home inspectors do not perform repairs on homes they inspect. This prevents any conflict of interest and protects you as the client. However, I can connect you with trusted contractors and specialists who can take care of any needed repairs or upgrades.

A home inspection and an appraisal are two different processes. An inspection evaluates the condition of the home, while an appraisal determines its market value. Although the two don’t directly influence each other, inspection findings may lead to negotiations or repairs that ultimately affect the final sale price.

Most inspections take 3–4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger or older homes may take longer. I never rush your inspection—thoroughness and clarity come first.

You’re always welcome to be on site during the home inspection. I do prefer to go through the property alone first so that I can be efficient. While not required, I prefer to do a walkthrough immediately following an inspection. It’s a great opportunity to see findings in real time and ask questions in a relaxed, friendly setting.

A standard home inspection doesn’t include specialized environmental testing. However, I do look for visible signs of moisture, mold-like substances, and pest activity. If specialized testing is recommended, I can refer you to trusted professionals.

Yes. I use thermal imaging as a helpful tool to detect temperature differences that may indicate moisture, missing insulation, or electrical concerns. It’s a non-invasive way to “see more” without opening walls.

You’ll typically receive your full report within 24 hours. It includes clear photos, explanations, and easy-to-understand summaries so you can move forward with confidence.

Yes! If repairs are made after your original inspection, I can return to verify the work. This helps ensure repairs were properly completed and gives you additional peace of mind.
