Home inspection services

The details matter.
So does the bigger picture.

A visual, technical evaluation of the home’s major systems, explained in language you can use.

For home buyers

Look beyond
the first impression.

You’ve considered the location, layout and price. An inspection helps you understand the condition of the house itself—from its structure to its everyday systems.

We identify existing concerns, explain potential repairs and help you make an informed buying decision.

For home sellers

Get ahead
of the surprises.

A pre-sale inspection helps you identify repairs before listing and gives you a clearer picture of your home’s condition.

Understanding those issues early can help you prepare your home for sale and give prospective buyers more useful information.

What we inspect.

Our inspection evaluates the accessible major systems of the home. John explains what he finds and why it matters.

01 / Exterior

From the roof down.

  • Roof, chimney, flashing and valleys
  • Siding, trim, windows and doors
  • Landscaping, grading and drainage
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Driveways, patios, decks and porches
  • Exterior heating and cooling equipment
02 / Interior

Behind the front door.

  • Heating and cooling systems
  • Plumbing system
  • Electrical system
  • Walls, floors, ceilings and windows
  • Structure
  • Attic, ventilation and insulation

A home inspection is a visual evaluation of accessible components. Ask John about any particular concerns or access limitations when arranging your inspection.

Keeping things in perspective

What really matters.

Many findings are maintenance recommendations or minor imperfections. John helps you distinguish these from issues that need prompt attention.

01

Major defects

Significant concerns, such as a structural defect or a bowed foundation wall.

02

Problems that could become bigger

A cracked chimney cap, for example, can allow water into the roof structure and cause damage over time.

03

Financing, occupancy or insurance concerns

Items such as knob-and-tube wiring or a 60-amp service may need further discussion with your insurer or other professionals.

04

Safety hazards

Concerns such as loose railings, unstable stair treads or missing smoke detectors.
