Services
We offer a range of services to meet your needs
Home Buyer Inspections
A comprehensive evaluation of your potential new home, from roof to foundation.
Water testing
If your home has a private well, testing your water for bacteria, nitrates, lead, and other contaminants is the only way to confirm what's actually coming out of your tap — and may be required by your lender.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Get ahead of surprises before you sell by understanding your home’s condition.
Radon testing
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas naturally occurring in our region's soil that can silently accumulate in your home — testing is the only way to know if your family is at risk.
Maintenance Inspections
Annual or seasonal checkups to keep your home in top shape.
Wood Destroying Insects (WDI)
Termites and carpenter ants can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage while going completely undetected — a WDI inspection by a licensed pest professional gives you the peace of mind that your new home is free and clear.
