How do we inspect your home exterior?

Our inspection starts at the top of your home and works its way down to ground level.  We take detailed notes of problems found, give you a report of the problems found, and make recommendation on the appropriate fix for the problems. We inspect all visible exterior areas that can be safely accessed from the outside of your home.  Our inspections are limited to what we can visually see from the outside of your home.

How much does the inspection cost?

Our residential inspection starts at $100 and may go up in price based on the size of the house and the difficulty of the inspection.  The average inspection price is $150.

What is included in the inspection?

  1. A detailed Inspection Report with recommended maintenance or repairs needed
  2. A $75 credit towards repairs or preventive maintenance
