This is the most common type of inspection, consisting of a visual inspection of the home from roof to foundation. The objective of this inspection is to objectively identify material defects in the systems, structures and components of the home, in adherence to ASHI or NAHI Standards.

This is an inspection done only on a specific part of the home. A roof inspection or foundation inspection would fall into this category. Partial inspections do not take as much time as a full whole house inspection and usually can be completed under an hour.

This is a great way to get your listing sold. Your client will get more money if the house is in top shape. So why wait until your buyer’s inspector finds problems. Chances are they’ll want to discount your asking price more than the cost of an inspection.

New Home Inspections take place when the home has been completed for occupancy but before the final walk-thru with the Builder. This inspection includes items in a standard home inspection, final punch-out items, and a quality “fit and finish” inspection based on local building standards. New Home Inspections provide the client with a list of items that need attention before moving into home. The inspection also provides the Builder with a Documented List of items that needs attention prior to settlement. Reputable Builders usually want to please the buyer and real estate agent for referrals.

New Construction Inspections take place while the home is in the different phases of construction. Phase inspections usually include Footings & Foundation, Framing, Final and Warranty Inspections.

During a home inspection, the inspector will utilize a thermal imaging camera to uncover hidden issues that might not be visible to the naked eye. With this advanced tool, the inspector scans walls, ceilings, and floors to detect temperature variations that could indicate problems such as moisture leaks, inadequate insulation, or electrical hotspots. Infrared thermography helps pinpoint areas where energy efficiency is compromised or where potential hazards lurk, enabling the inspector to provide comprehensive insights to the homeowner or potential buyer. By capturing thermal images, the inspector can identify areas needing further investigation or repairs, ensuring a thorough assessment of the property’s condition beyond what is immediately observable.
