I offer a professional, thorough, clear and quality home inspection.

I start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.

My next step is to inspect the exterior of the home, the outside A/C unit and garage.  I use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

I then move inside the house and inspect the basement or crawlspace and attic for proper insulation, signs of water leak, structural deficiencies, signs of rot, mold or other live growth.  I inspect the major appliances such as your furnace, water heater, sump pump and also your electrical panel.  I'll then inspect room by room from the top down, running the sinks, showers, flushing the toilets, and looking and listening for any leaks or issues as I work my way back down, and testing accessible switches & receptacles.  For the interior, I continue to address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, the windows and accessories such as fireplaces, and appliances that stay with the house, such as the dishwasher and oven range.

My evaluation is then communicated through an on-site walk through, followed by a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, issues discovered, and any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements needed within your budget and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, my services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you!
