 A prelisting inspection helps sellers understand the condition of their home before it goes on the market. By identifying potential repairs, safety concerns, or maintenance issues early, sellers can reduce surprises during buyer negotiations, price their home more accurately, and present it with greater confidence. While buyers typically conduct their own inspections, a prelisting inspection offers valuable insight and helps sellers prepare for a smoother transaction. 

A new construction inspection helps ensure that a newly built home is constructed properly and meets applicable building standards before move-in. Inspections performed at key stages of construction can identify defects, installation issues, or workmanship concerns early—when they are easier and less costly to correct. This proactive approach helps protect your investment and provides confidence that your new home is safe, sound, and built as intended.

 An 11-month warranty inspection is performed near the end of a builder’s one-year warranty to identify defects, workmanship issues, or system concerns that may have developed since move-in. This inspection helps homeowners address covered repairs before the warranty expires, giving them the opportunity to request corrections from the builder at no additional cost. It is a proactive way to protect your investment and ensure your home continues to meet expected standards. 

 A buyer inspection is a critical step in the home buying process that provides a clear understanding of the property’s condition before purchase. A thorough inspection can uncover hidden issues such as structural concerns, electrical hazards, plumbing problems, or safety risks that may not be visible during a walkthrough. With this information, buyers can make informed decisions, negotiate repairs or credits, and move forward with greater confidence and peace of mind in their investment. 

 A multi-unit inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of properties containing two to four residential units, often referred to as multifamily dwellings. This inspection assesses both individual living units and shared common areas, including structural components, roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, and safety features. Multi-unit inspections help property owners, buyers, and investors identify maintenance needs, safety concerns, and potential liabilities, supporting informed decisions and long-term property management. 

A condominium and townhouse inspection provides a detailed evaluation of the interior living space and the systems the owner is typically responsible for, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and visible structural components. While exterior elements and common areas are often maintained by a homeowners association, this inspection helps buyers and owners identify potential issues within the unit before they become costly repairs. It offers valuable insight, negotiation leverage, and peace of mind when purchasing or maintaining a condo or townhouse.

 A mobile and modular home inspection provides a thorough evaluation of the home’s structure, systems, and overall condition. While similar to a traditional home inspection, these homes require special attention to foundation supports, anchoring, ventilation, electrical connections, and plumbing systems. This inspection helps buyers, owners, landlords, and tenants identify existing or potential issues, ensuring the home is safe, functional, and in good condition before purchase or occupancy. 

 Radon testing is an important ancillary service used to measure the level of radon gas within a home. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can enter a home through the ground and accumulate in lower living areas, posing a significant health risk with long-term exposure. Testing is the only way to determine if radon levels are elevated. This service helps homeowners and buyers make informed decisions about mitigation, supporting a healthier and safer indoor environment. 

 A thermal imaging inspection uses infrared technology to detect temperature variations within a home that are not visible to the naked eye. This advanced inspection method can help identify hidden issues such as moisture intrusion, missing or damaged insulation, electrical hot spots, air leaks, and overheating components. Thermal imaging provides valuable insight into potential problem areas, allowing for early detection and corrective action before issues become more costly or severe. 

 Drone services provide a safe and efficient way to inspect, document, and capture aerial views of properties and structures that are difficult or unsafe to access from the ground. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drone inspections can evaluate roofs, chimneys, exterior elevations, and other elevated areas without the need for ladders or scaffolding. This technology enhances accuracy, reduces risk, and delivers detailed visual data to support inspections, assessments, and informed decision-making. 

 Water quality testing helps determine whether the water in a home is safe and suitable for drinking and everyday use. This service evaluates water for potential contaminants that may affect health, taste, or overall water quality. Regular testing can identify issues early, allowing homeowners and buyers to take corrective action before problems become more serious. Water quality testing supports informed decisions and helps promote a healthier living environment. 

 A mold inspection is performed to identify the presence of mold growth and conditions that may contribute to its development within a home. Mold can impact indoor air quality, cause health concerns, and lead to structural damage if left unaddressed. This inspection includes a visual assessment, moisture evaluation, and, when appropriate, sampling to help determine the extent of mold-related issues. Early detection supports effective remediation and helps protect both the property and the occupants.
