What our clients are saying about me...

Just some of the kind words from our awesome clients!

Core Inspections

Home

Inspections

Our buyer home inspection is a thorough assessment conducted by a qualified inspector to evaluate the condition of a property before purchase. Our inspection covers structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and other crucial components of the home. We aim to uncover any existing problems or potential concerns that could affect the safety, functionality, or value of the property. The resulting report provides buyers with detailed information, enabling informed decisions and potential negotiations on the purchase.

Commercial Property Survey

Our Commercial Property Condition Report (CPCR) is an essential document that offers a detailed evaluation of a commercial property's structural integrity, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, roofing, interior and exterior conditions, safety features, and ADA compliance. It also assesses regulatory adherence and includes a review of relevant documents, estimated repair costs, and photographic evidence. This report is vital for buyers, investors, or lessees to make informed decisions on their purchase or lease of a property.

Insurance Inspections

4 Point and Wind Mitigation reports answer specific questions an insurance company needs to issue insurance and possibly provide discounts on your policy. Most often they are required on older homes, though recently newer homes and even new construction are becoming more common. We provide these reports according to standards required by insurance companies, and we strongly advise you contact your insurance company when considering ordering these services. We do provide good follow-up support when required, and our reports are digital.

Ancillary Inspections

Investor Property Survey

My investor property surveys are specifically designed for the investor who need an overview of a potential property. The inspection is a walkthrough of the property looking at major components, providing verbal information and recommendations on issues. The Big-6 survey will cover the major components of a property including the Roof, Structure, Foundation, Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC. I will also point any obvious issues beyond the Big-6 when it will cost the investor money. These can be tailored to the investors needs.

Pool & Spa Inspections

My pool and spa assessment evaluates the condition and safety of pool and spa installations. This inspection includes a thorough inspection of the pool and spa structure, equipment (such as pumps, heaters, and filters), and safety features (including gates, fences, and pool covers). Beneficial for homeowners and often recommended during property transactions, this inspection aims to uncover potential safety hazards, ensure the longevity of pool and spa components, and maintain water quality for the health and enjoyment of users.

Engineering Foundation Certs.

I conduct manufactured engineering inspections to HUD standards and can provide all three certifications for FHA or VA loan purposes. HUD engineering foundation inspections determine: 1. if the manufactured home is permanently tied down, 2. the home is stable, properly tied down to the piers, and anchored to the ground, and 3. drainage will not affect the home, crawlspace, or basement (if applicable). The report is normally completed within 48-72 hours from teh inspection, and I charge a reasonable rate compared to engineering firms.

Environmental Inspections & Testing

Mold Testing

My mold testing, critical for indoor air quality and occupant health, is aimed at identifying the presence and type of mold within a property. This analysis involves collecting samples from the air and surfaces to test for mold spores, with a focus on detecting harmful varieties such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys. Essential for homeowners, especially in humid or water-damaged properties, mold testing provides vital information to mitigate health risks, guide remediation efforts, and ensure a safe living environment.

Water Testing

Water Testing, required for most FHA, VA, and RD loans, is a crucial analysis that provides a comprehensive evaluation of the well water quality on a property. This report includes detailed testing of water samples for contaminants such as E.coli, Coliform, Lead, and Nitrites / Nitrates. We do offer advance testing to include parameters like pH level, hardness, mineral content, and the presence of any potentially hazardous elements. Useful for homeowners and required for most loans, this report helps in identifying potential health risks and ensuring water safety.

Air Quality Testing

I conduct Air Quality Testing to assess the purity and safety of indoor air. This analysis measures levels of various pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM2.5/PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Crucial for homeowners and highly recommended in environments with known health concerns or recent renovations, air quality testing provides essential insights into potential respiratory health risks, helps in improving indoor air quality, and contributes to the overall well-being of occupants.
