Buyer Inspection
A buyers inspection is initiated by the home buyer, usually as a contingency to the final close of a real estate sale. This is also known as a Pre-Purchase inspection. The buyer typically has a 3-10 day option period window to complete an inspection before they can purchase and close on a home.
Seller Inspection
A Seller's Inspection is initiated by the property owner usually prior to listing the property. Understanding the condition of your property before listing it will ensure that there are no surprises and unexpected costly repairs. It helps the seller's agent to accurately represent the home.
New Home Inspection
Having a new home built? Most buyers will assume a new home will not need an inspection. We often find issues that are overlooked by basic code and compliance checks performed by the builder or contractor. It is best to schedule these inspections 1-2 days before the final walk through.
INSPECTION INCLUDES
Pool & Septic Systems
Anyone who is buying or selling properties with pools should consider working with a certified pool and septic inspector to protect themselves from potential safety and liability risks. We check for proper equipment operation and any visual structural or safety problems. This is especially recommended for all residential pools.

One-Year Warranty Inspection
Schedule a Home Warranty Inspection before it expires typically during the first year.
Warranty inspections can help the new owner avoid costly out-of-pocket expenses that could otherwise be covered by a home warranty still in force.
Appliances
Part of a home inspection is checking that all major appliances are functioning properly.
To confirm that all appliances are in working order, we will run them through one or two cycles to make sure there's no trouble, such as a leaking refrigerator or a smoking dryer.
However, the check is only a neutral source confirming that the appliances work, not an internal or technical diagnostic of the appliance.
Systems
We examine the plumbing for function, leaks, and sufficiency of water supply.
A systems inspection also includes:
-
Electrical
-
Heating
-
Air Conditioning
-
Water
-
Heaters
Structure
The key components that we inspect during the structural portion of each home inspection are the foundation, floors, walls, columns, piers, ceilings, roof structure and attic framing.
We also inspect the roof for proper installation and signs of abnormal or harmful water penetration into the building as well as signs of abnormal or harmful condensation on building components.
Foundation
A goal of a foundation inspection is to determine if the underlying base of your home is structurally sound.
-
We isolate internal cracks and determine their threat levels.
-
We examine and support beams and load-bearing devices.
-
We test how snugly doors, windows and vents fit.
-
We look for water damage, mold and improper ventilation.

Michael Leitzell
Joe was fantastic during our home inspection. He was thorough and very transparent with his work. He took the time to go over all the details and explained the process of repair, giving me confidence in making decisions regarding what to ask for from the seller. He walked the property with me and shared his experience and advice on maintenance and went over items that were above and beyond what I expected. After closing, Joe followed up with me and continued to answer any questions that I had. I highly recommend Joe's service for anyone looking at purchasing a home. His services made me feel sure that my new home is in great condition my move in felt smooth and secure.

Thomas Petkovsek
I contacted Joe for a new home inspection. He arrived on time and performed a thorough inspection. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and just a nice guy. I was there during the inspection and he took the time to explain things to me that he was noticing and answered every question I asked. He sent me the inspection report later that day. Wonderful service and I would use again. Give him a call if you are in need of a home inspection.
