About Us

Hidden defects, unpermitted work, or a missed safety issue can wreck a sale or stick you with repairs you didn’t budget for.

Our team brings deep know-how, careful on-site work, and plain language reporting that you can act on. You can attend the inspection, ask us anything, and get same day answers from a licensed and insured inspector who stands behind the work.

We cover full home and commercial building inspections, buyer focused pre-purchase inspection during your option period, seller focused pre-sale inspection before you list, new construction phase checks at pre-pour, frame, pre-drywall, and final, plus eleven month warranty and multi unit inspections.
