Services

We offer a comprehensive home inspection service available following the ASHI Standards of Practice.  A moisture meter, a thermal imaging camera, a drone and a suite of inspection tools are used as best decided upon by the inspector to determine the condition of the inspected systems and areas.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof as directed in the Standard.

Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home and surrounding enviroment. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of the systems in the home, as well as any recommendations. This will help you prioritize any improvements, maintenance, monitoring and repirs, and develop a helpful blueprint for your future in the home.  

Also included in the appendix are links that connect you to a series of documents that will help you understand your home and how it works. These are in addition to links attached to specific items in the report.  Click on any link to read about that system.  The systems are:  1. ROOFING, FLASHINGS AND CHIMNEYS, 2. EXTERIOR, 3.
