Types of Inspections

The Right Inspection for Every Situation

From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, we tailor our inspection to your specific needs and property type.

Buyer's Inspection

The most comprehensive inspection we offer. A full evaluation of the home before you close — protecting your biggest investment.

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers use this to identify and address issues before listing, avoiding surprises during buyer negotiations.

Annual Home Checkup

For current homeowners who want to catch small problems before they become big, expensive ones.

New Construction / Pre-Drywall Inspection

Even new homes have defects. An independent inspection before closing protects you from builder oversights. We also inspect new construction homes before drywall is installed, giving you a critical look at framing, plumbing, electrical, and more while everything is still exposed and accessible.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

Document warranty-covered defects before your builder's 1-year warranty expires. Often saves thousands.

Investor / Flip Inspection

A focused assessment to identify structural, mechanical, and safety issues for renovation planning and budgeting.
