Our inspection reports are detailed with photos and will provide further understanding of the results of your home inspection. We have the experience to give you insight into the condition of your home and its systems to identify any major deficiencies that need to be addressed prior to buying or selling. Feel free to contact us before and after your inspection with questions or for further understanding of your concerns.
Thermal imaging is completed when possible. It can help to reveal potential moisture, insulation or wiring problems by detecting the thermal signature of each material and their temperature differences. These images assist us in determining if further investigation is needed.
It is highly recommended that you attend the home inspection and ask questions so that you understand the inspection and your home.
Inspection reports are computer generated custom reports that include photos and will cover the following items:
- Roofing/Ventilation
- Exterior / Foundation
- Structure
- Interior
- Windows/Doors
