Whole Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structure, roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. With over 30 years of experience, we identify potential issues through visual examination and provide detailed reports with photo documentation. Our 40-60 page narrative reports include color-coded summaries of recommended repairs to help buyers make informed decisions.
EIFS Inspections
Specialized synthetic stucco inspections using Tramex moisture meters and Delmhorst probes to detect water intrusion. Following EDI protocols, we assess installation quality and provide repair recommendations. Our reports document findings with photographs and include cost estimates for necessary restoration work on EIFS systems.
New Construction Inspections
Phase inspections for new home construction including foundation, pre-drywall, and final evaluations. We check compliance with building standards and identify issues during construction. Our reports help ensure quality control and proper installation of systems before final approval and occupancy.
Moisture Intrusion Analysis
Advanced moisture diagnostics for persistent leaks using thermal imaging and invasive testing. We identify water entry points in roofs, foundations, and wall systems. Reports include detailed repair protocols to resolve chronic moisture issues that other contractors have failed to fix.

Comprehensive evaluations of commercial properties including structural components, HVAC systems, and building envelope integrity. Our punch-list reports identify maintenance needs and repair priorities for apartment complexes, office buildings, and light commercial properties to support investment decisions.
