Services

Regardless of whether the house you’re interested in buying or selling was recently built, or built a few years or even a few decades ago, they all have some minor or major defects hidden that need to be discovered.

When you schedule your inspection with us, you will be the only inspection we have scheduled for that day. Whether it takes us a couple of hours or most of the day, we will not rush to get it done. We’ll encourage you and your real estate agent to be present during the inspection and to ask as many questions as you may have regarding the house and the inspection. Remember, we work for YOU, the home buyer/seller. Our report will be sent to you and your agent within 24-48 hours after the inspection.
