What We Inspect
Your understanding of the home inspection findings is critical to our goal of providing the best customer service available. We encourage you to accompany the home inspector through the home inspection process to receive a complete consultation and valuable orientation to the home, property and its systems.
We provide home buyers, home sellers, property owners and real estate agents with accurate information essential to evaluating a homes condition: A thorough home inspection, consultation and detailed report of our findings.

A home inspection is a visual inspection of the readily accessible dwelling. The inspector observes everything that is readily accessible from the roof to the foundation, the interior and exterior surfaces, the heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems. The inspector will run the operable built in appliances checking the operation. If there is a fireplace, he will look at it.
