Home Inspection Services

The services we offer to you include:

  • Roof / Attic
    The roofing inspection is an inspection of the roof and roofing materials, as well as flashings and valleys and an inspection inside chimneys (when possible).  Whenever possible, this inspection is done on the roof for a more thorough evaluation.  The roofing inspection also will estimate the age and life expectancy of the current roofing materials.

    The attic inspection consists of inspecting ventilation and insulation.

  • Exterior
    The exterior inspection is a visual inspection and probing of the components that make up the exterior structure of the home:
    This includes:

    • Foundation
    • Exterior wall structure
