Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and potential defects. Certified inspectors examine roofs, foundations, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC units. Reports include digital documentation and repair cost estimates to support informed real estate decisions.
Commercial Inspections
Tailored commercial property assessments identify structural and system deficiencies in investment properties. Inspectors evaluate building envelopes, mechanical infrastructure, and compliance requirements. Detailed reports help investors understand maintenance liabilities and operational risks.
Roof Assessments
We conduct 90-95% roof surface inspections while prioritizing safety. When physical access isn't feasible, we use ladder-based visual assessments with photographic documentation. Evaluations cover shingle condition, flashing integrity, and drainage system effectiveness.
System Evaluations
Our system evaluations cover heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. Inspectors test operational functionality, identify safety hazards, and estimate remaining service life. Weather permitting, HVAC systems receive operational performance assessments with maintenance recommendations.
Environmental Checks
Environmental inspections identify potential hazards like mold, radon, and water intrusion. We assess moisture intrusion points, ventilation adequacy, and environmental risk factors. Reports include mitigation recommendations and safety compliance verification.

Report
Pure Incompetence. Did not inspect most areas. Did not notice that the AC compressor was not hooked up to the house. Did not test the sprinkler system. Did not inspect the attic, as after purchase it was found not to be insulated. Did not report very low water pressure. Did not report the dryer vent was incomplete, terminated into plywood and an extreme fire hazard. Would not return payment for negligent services. Would not recommend.

Tom has been great to work with, He has went completely out of his way to make sure we got everything we needed which required a 2nd trip back. Report is very nice and has different levels of addressing matters which is very helpful. I will be using him for all my Real Estate transactions.

Report
Just had the home we're buying inspected by Brandon. He was very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. I was his shadow most of the time and he was patient in explaining what he was looking for and what he found. I would highly recommend him plus, he's a veteran.
