Services

We offer the most comprehensive home inspection service available.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.

Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, our services don’t end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions — at no extra charge!

11- Month Warranty Inspection Checklist

Exterior

• Examine around all windows, doors, and other penetrations for proper paint/caulk. Ensure weep holes are open and not covered.
• Ensure proper paint application and that a level of paint is adhered in all areas.
• Check for window damage and proper installation.
• Check for damaged soffits and make sure there are no gaps/cracks as this allows for pest intrusion.
• Check plumbing fixtures and electrical equipment/outlets.
• Inspect all stucco for cracking/damage.

Garage

• Check the functionality of the garage and that it reverses when hit with resistance and if something is in front of the sensor.
• Check for water staining, damaged walls/ceilings.
• Check the water heater for proper installation and for leaks.
• Check the Air Handler (if located here) for proper installation and leaks. A filter should be installed, the condensation line should be insulated, and there should be a float switch.

Interior

• Inspect walls, windows, outlets, floors, and ceilings for damage and functionality. I work rooms left to right and hug the walls.
• Inspect cabinets for damage and functionality.
• Inspect appliances for damage and functionality.
• Check light switches as you enter rooms.
• Check fans.

Bathrooms & Kitchens

• Check tub drainage.
• Check hot water functionality at all fixtures.
• Check underneath sinks for leaks.
• Ensure toilets do not continuously run and are not loose to the ground. (The bolts at the bottom should be secure).
• Check bathroom fans/vents.
• Check tiles/grout for cracks/damage. Small cracks can let a lot of moisture in overtime.

HVAC

• Ensure all registers are blowing cold air when the A/C is on.
• Ensure all registers are blowing hot air when the heat is turned on.
• Check for damage at the A/C unit(s).

Electrical

• I would generally advise homeowners not pull panel covers off. Leave it to a professional.
• Exercise all breakers.
• Exercise all GFCI's
• Exercise all AFCI's

Plumbing

• Check for proper water pressure at all sinks/faucets.
• Check for hot/cold water. Hot is left turn. Cold is right turn. Sometimes, these can be backwards.
• Check for leaks at any visible plumbing areas.

Attic

Inspect the roof only if you are willing, able, and know how to safely walk in an attic.

• Check for damaged trusses and any onsite alterations, such as, nailing/scissoring boards together.
• Check for insulation in all areas.
• Check for roof leaks.

Roof

Inspect the roof only if you are willing, able, and know how to safely walk a roofing system.

• Check for loose/missing/damaged shingles.
• Inspect vents/penetrations for proper installation and flashings.
• Inspect visible flashing.
• Inspect drip edge for damage.

Foundation & Drainage

In most cases, the foundation is not really visible and not a huge concern on new construction homes. However, we should remain vigilant in case we do see a crack or concern.

• Ensure grading is sloped away from home.
• Check for signs of flooding/ponding.
• Ensure vegetation is 6 inches away from the home.
• Mulch should not be in contact with the home. Leave a 4-6 inch gap with rocks or grass.
• Check the driveway and walkways.
