Types of Residential Inspections

Most Popular Inspection

Buyer's Home Inspection

A full visual examination of the home's major systems, structure, and safety. Done for the buyer usually before closing; it helps identify defects so buyers can negotiate or walk away.

Always Recommended

Seller's Home Inspection

An inspection done for the current homeowner looking to sell or just looking for a current property status. We identify potential issues for your awareness, avoiding surprises that may come up on the buyer's inspection.

Just the Basics

4-Point Home Inspection

An inspection focused on evaluation of a home’s four primary systems: HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, & Roofing. It is typically required by insurance companies when issuing or renewing homeowners insurance for older homes.  

Always a great Investment

11-Month Warranty Inspection

An independent assessment of a new construction home conducted just before the builder’s one-year warranty expires. It identifies defects the builder is responsible for fixing at no cost to the homeowner.

Protects your Investment

Rental Pre-Lease Inspection

A documented walkthrough of a rental property—often called a move-in inspection—conducted by landlords and tenants together before the lease begins or the tenant moves in. It establishes a baseline of the unit's condition to verify safety, identify repairs, and prevent security deposit disputes.                             

Used on Every Inspection

Thermal Imaging

Used to non-invasively detect hidden, temperature-related issues that are invisible to the naked eye, such as moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, and insulation gaps. It provides a comprehensive, safer assessment by identifying potential structural, safety, or energy-loss problems before they cause significant damage.
