INSPECTION SERVICES
We provide the best value in home inspections
All seven of our licensed inspectors have more than a decade background in construction (our team includes licensed contractors, a Professional Engineer, and a licensed Pest Control Operator). It’s easy to get a home inspection license, but it doesn’t mean you really know homes! No one matches our level of experience.
We work harder: we crawl into low crawl spaces, we climb most roofs (subject to safety considerations), we take longer and check more carefully than others. And we welcome you to attend the inspection: you get a detailed report with dozens of photos, but whether you are a first time buyer or a veteran we will take the time to educate you about the house and answer all your questions.
From the foundation to the roof

SAVE TIME & MONEY WITH OUR DIGITAL INSPECTION REPORTS
An inspection typically takes several hours. You are not required to be there, but we welcome our customers who are! Either way, we give you an immediate verbal summary upon completion. The very next business day, you will receive a fully digital, internet-based report that you can browse from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. This report includes high-resolution, expanding photos accompanied by detailed explanations.
All of our home inspection reports include a Create Request List feature. The CRL allows anyone viewing the report – agents, owners, and buyers – to group important inspection findings into a separate, sharable list for maintenance requests or for post-purchase projects. Because this list is standardized for all viewers, it streamlines communication and repairs.

Maintenance Inspections
Life moves so quickly that general and even significant home maintenance can sometimes be forgotten. Furthermore, some routine home maintenance items are difficult to spot without the proper experience. Let our highly-trained inspectors give your home a check-up and help you prioritize regular home maintenance to save money and to help keep your family safe.
We can also perform these specialized inspections concurrently with general inspections and those above:
Termite Inspections
Termites and other wood-destroying insects cause millions of dollars a year in damage to buildings in North Carolina. Our inspectors are all Registered Pest Control Technicians with the NC Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Division. We are affiliated with Cooper Pest Control to provide the wood-destroying insect reports (WDIR) required by many mortgage lenders.
Radon Inspections
Radon – an odorless, colorless gas – naturally occurs in most soil. It’s also the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in North America. We can perform the EPA-recommended radon testing that determines whether or not you are being exposed to safe levels of radon within your home.
