A home is probably the biggest purchase you’ll ever make, so it’s important to understand the condition of your investment. I’ll provide a non-invasive evaluation of the home’s accessible structure, systems and components. While a home inspection can’t reveal every concern that exists, it will significantly reduce your anxiety by arming you with the knowledge you need to make an informed home-buying decision.
Rental Inspection: Starting at $250.00
20% discount on post-inspection after the purchase of a pre-inspection Multi-unit discounts are available
As a landlord or a tenant, pre-inspection and post-inspections can help avert or minimize disputes about the condition of the property, as well as provide a safer, more pleasant place to live. The inspection report will provide a non-invasive evaluation of the rental’s accessible structure, systems, and components. While a rental inspection can’t reveal every concern that exists, it will significantly help provide conditions when tenants move in and conditions when tenants move out, significantly reducing the anxiety of renting.

Mold Inspection:
Unchecked mold indoors can damage the structure of a home, cause wood rot, and ruin drywall. Most importantly, mold can cause health problems. A professional mold test starts with a thorough inspection of your property. I will investigate any signs of past or present water intrusion, which can promote mold growth, and I’ll take samples of any suspected mold for laboratory analysis.
Annual Home maintenance Inspection:
Ask about our plans
Especially if you’re a new homeowner, an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection can help you understand and plan for the demands of maintaining your home properly. Some tasks are seasonal, and some items require more frequent attention. Let me help you start on the path of responsible homeownership by identifying any issues, and educating you about what should be done each year to keep your home in top condition. Even if you’re a veteran homeowner, my inspection can verify whether your home’s maintenance is sufficient, or whether any problems have developed during the past year.
Deck Inspection:
A deck inspection should progress in much the same order as deck construction. Inspectors should start at the bottom. If a deck is deemed unsafe from underneath, the inspector should not walk out onto the deck to inspect decking, handrails, etc. The inspector should stop and report the safety issues.
Move-In Inspection:
Are you selling your home? Let me inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified® Seller’s Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. You can then take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates. Avoid 11th-hour negotiations and delays, and justify your full asking price by having your home for sale inspected now.
Septic Tank System Inspection:
I will conduct an inspection of your onsite wastewater (septic) treatment system, assess its overall condition and maintenance, test for functional operation, and advise you of my findings. If the system is overloaded, I can recommend further steps you can take to remedy the problem.
Healthy Home Inspection:
Scientific evidence demonstrates a solid relationship between housing conditions and human health. Studies on the economic burden of specific defects in homes show costs rising into the billions of dollars annually. Defects in the home contribute to both poor health and the economic burdens on society at large.
Drone Inspection:
I use a state-of-the-art, camera-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone to capture images of unsafe or hard-to-access areas, such as tall roofs. I can get an up-close look at any issues and defects that would otherwise not be properly inspected and reported. I can also take aerial photos of the property for real estate listings and informational purposes.
Private Well Inspection:
Private wells that are constructed properly are usually safe, but problems can occur that can introduce contaminants into the water supply. I’ll check your private well for basic structural issues, and take a water sample to test it for lead, microbial pollutants, and dangerous chemicals.
Home Energy Inspection:
I’ll collect data using an advanced energy calculator developed by InterNACHI® to: • estimate the home’s yearly energy usage:
​
-
pinpoint potential energy inefficiencies
-
develop recommendations for energy improvements
-
determine your potential energy savings.
The Home Energy eBook is included with your Home Energy Report. It describes additional steps you can take right now to save energy, increase your family’s comfort, and protect the environment.
Repair Verification:
Have you had remodeling or repair work done by a contractor to address a deficiency, or to adapt or modernize some structure or system of your home? I will inspect it to make sure that the materials, installation and workmanship meet quality standards and your specifications. This is not a code-compliance inspection, but an inspection to check that the work was completed properly.
Maintenance Schedule:
With Full Home Inspection $250.00
Included with Annual Maintenace Home Inspection plan.
My maintenance schedule service is designed to develop scheduled maintenance to maintain property systems efficiently. This service is not to evaluate the life of a system but to give information on how to maintain the systems, save money on the operation of the systems, and hopefully extend the life of the systems using a defined maintenance schedule.
