INSPECTION SERVICES
We offer a "one-stop" solution for all of your inspection needs, from the basic pre-purchase home inspection to various inspections your insurance company might require, such as Wind Mitigation Inspections, 4 Point Inspections, and Wood Destroying Organism Inspections. Call our knowledgeable customer service representatives today to schedule your inspection.
FULL HOME INSPECTION: Starting at $325 (based on square footage)
A home is a significant investment, and understanding its condition is crucial. I'll conduct a non-invasive evaluation of the accessible structure, systems, and components. While not exhaustive, the inspection will provide valuable knowledge to reduce your anxiety and make an informed decision when buying a home.
WDO TERMITE INSPECTION: $150 Stand Alone and $125 w/ HI
Wood-destroying insects can cause serious damage to the wooden structural components of a house. They can hide and go undetected for a long time, but there are many telltale signs for different species that indicate their presence. I’ll inspect your home for evidence of infestation now before it becomes an expensive problem later.
INFRARED INSPECTION:
Add On Service
$295 Stand Alone
$250 with Home Inspection
I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. By evaluating the images, I can detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, and flue leaks in the chimney.
ROOF INSPECTION: $150
Do you need just a roof inspection performed for insurance or other purposes? I will perform a standalone Roof Inspection & Certification and evaluate your roof from the eaves, as well as walk it (when it is safe to do so) to assess its overall condition, including the presence and status of flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations.
4-POINT INSPECTION:
$175 Stand Alone
$75 with Home Inspection
Many insurance companies require a 4-Point Inspection for homeowner’s insurance and renewals for an existing policy on an older home. The “four points” covered in this limited inspection include the four vital systems of the home: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. This inspection identifies their components, determines their age, and assesses their overall condition.
WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION:
$150 Stand Alone
$75 with Home Inspection
Wind mitigation helps limit the amount of wind damage inflicted on a home. Many homeowner's insurance companies offer incentives, such as premium discounts and rebates, for implementing specific protections. And if you’ve already made certain improvements, a Wind Mitigation Inspection can provide the verification you need to receive credits and discounts.
MOISTURE INSPECTION:
Moisture meters detect and measure moisture in building materials. I use them to check areas near plumbing, AC units, bathrooms, and wooden components in contact with the ground. Appliances can cause leaks or condensation, leading to elevated moisture levels. With a moisture meter, I locate the source of moisture issues. Immediate correction is necessary to prevent mold growth.
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION:
Are you building a new home? I’ll come out during different phases of the construction process to make sure your project is being executed according to your specs. I can verify that scheduled work has been completed before you make a payment to your contractor. I’ll also come out before project completion to help you and your general contractor devise a punch list of the remaining items. This is not a code-compliance inspection for your contractor, but a New Construction Inspection for you.
REPAIR VERIFICATION: $75
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.
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.
CONDO INSPECTIONS: Starting at $285 (based on square footage)
A condo inspection will give you a thorough evaluation of the "walls in" on the property you are looking at. You'll be able to make a better decision on the property by having the inspection and reviewing the condominium association records
AIR QUALITY TESTING:
$295 Stand Alone
$250 with Home Inspection
Are you concerned about the air quality in your home? It can be compromised by high indoor humidity, pet dander, various airborne allergens, and even more serious problems, such as radon and mold. Let me conduct an indoor Air Quality Test and make recommendations based on my findings that will guard your family’s health and your home’s safety.
HUD/VA TIE DOWN INSPECTIONS: Starting at $450 (based on square footage)
A condo inspection will give you a thorough evaluation of the "walls in" on the property you are looking at. You'll be able to make a better decision on the property by having the inspection and reviewing the condominium association records
