A Home Inspection is a visual evaluation of a property's condition, covering major systems like the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We do these inspections for home buyers to inform them of any existing or potential issues. We also do these as pre-listing inspections for sellers, to control any surprises or delays after an offer has been accepted.

A WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) Inspection checks for signs of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungi that can damage a home’s structure. It is often required for real estate transactions like VA loans, and helps protect against costly structural repairs.

We check the same items as on a standard home inspection, as well as structural support beneath the home.

Lenders sometimes require an inspection to determine if the home meets HUD construction standards for foundations and additions (porches, decks, etc.). We do these inspections with our partner engineering firm, who reviews our information and issues a report.

I was able to schedule an inspector on 2 days notice. He was prompt and did a thorough 2 hour evaluation of the property I was considering purchasing. He was polite and personable discharged discussing his findings.
His written report sent to me was comprehensive and helped me make my decision to purchase the property or not.
Thanks so much Jess! It was a pleasure performing the walk-through evaluation of the property for you. Please reach out whenever you have questions!

The Verified Inspector Badge means that Inspectors List has independently confirmed that this inspector holds a valid, current license or credential with their licensing authority.
Verification is not an endorsement. Inspectors List does not make judgments about quality of service or recommend specific inspectors.
There is no charge for verification. We offer verification freely to any inspector who qualifies based on valid public records.
If an inspector does not have a verified badge, it may simply mean that verification is still pending. It does not imply that the inspector is unqualified or unlicensed.
