Services & Areas of Expertise

Home Inspection


This is when a professional home inspector comes to the property and performs a comprehensive and thorough examination over all of the major systems and structural components of the home to make sure there are no problems or large expenses that need fixed.


I will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out. The typical home inspection takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete.

I invite you to come along and watch as I inspect your home, and you are free to ask questions at any time during your home inspection.


Commercial Property Inspections
Commercial property inspections are performed in accordance with the ASTM Standards of Practice. Commercial property inspections are sometimes referred to as Property Condition Reports, Physical Needs Assessments, Physical Condition Assessments, or Physical Condition Surveys. A PCA is a visual and non-destructive assessment of the site and grounds, structural systems, the exterior surface including doors, windows, and signage, roofing systems, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and interior components, and pool/spa equipment where applicable.

Termite Inspection

Wood destroying insects and other organisms can cause serious problems in the wood structural components of a house and may go undetected for a long period of time. Subterranean termites are the most damaging insects of wood.



Radon Test

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers. You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. Testing is the only way to find out your home's radon levels. If you find that you have high radon levels, there are ways to fix a radon problem.



Mold Test (Inspector will examine and test a specific area of concern in your home)
Mold Inspection (Inspector will examine all visible areas of your home)

Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.



Swimming Pool Inspection

If your home has a pool, spa, or hot tub, you should have it checked to insure there are no leaks or other safety hazards. Knowledge of your pool will help you know how to keep it in good repair.
