Whether you are buying or selling a home, are a property manager or a lender, knowing the condition of the home puts you in control, protects you and can help determine its value. We do home inspections for buyers as part of the purchase agreement, for sellers who are proactive before listing their home for sale, verification of repairs, one year warranty inspections, and for builders, homeowner associations, property managers and lenders.
We also customize inspections and do roof, attic and crawlspace inspections, annual maintenance inspections, and safety inspections that include smoke & carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, emergency egress, tempered (safety) glass, stairs & handrails, etc. Give us a call and we will tailor an inspection to fit your needs.
