HOME INSPECTION--is a very important and critical step in purchasing a home.  We will perform a visual home inspection of the exterior and interior house areas in accordance with the ASHI standards areas as follows:

  • EXTERIOR- Roof, siding, grading,gutters, etc.
  • INTERIOR- Basement structure, plumbing, heating, A/C, attic and individual rooms, etc.

Typically an average size house will take approximately 2-4 hours to inspect and we inspect the house with the buyer present.  Our final report format is a customized narrative and checklist printed word document custom for each house.  We also E-mail the final report for a fast response and supplement with photo's where required.

RADON TESING- Requires all windows in test area, typically the basement be closed 12 hours prior to testing.  We use electronic testing equipment with reported test results within hours of test conclusion.
