Our Services
PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION
To avoid the unpleasant surprises a home inspection may bring to light, homeowners looking to put their house on the market can opt for a prelisting home inspection, which provides sellers with a thorough report before the home goes on the market. Sellers have the opportunity to make necessary repairs before potential buyers start touring the property and to avoid a deal that falls through due to structural or maintenance problems that could lead to other potential buyers steering clear of a property that has issues.
HOME BUYER INSPECTION
An all-encompassing examination of the condition of a home. A good home inspection will assist a buyer in understanding exactly what they are about to acquire by examining the structure, exterior, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, insulation and ventilation. A home inspection will definitely give the buyer peace of mind and put the buyer’s mind at ease that the home is in good shape. It can also become a negotiation tool in closing, and could inform the buyer of potential future maintenance and upkeep.
ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS
RADON: Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in homes, especially in confined areas such as attics and basements. Radon levels fluctuate naturally, therefore testing for high levels is important.
TERMITE/WOOD DESTROYING ORANISM: Check for signs of structural damage caused by wood boring insects. These insects may cause problems down the road.
