Your Inspection Details
What Happens During Your Inspection
Your inspection is built around one goal: giving you a true picture of the property before you commit to it. I walk every accessible area of the home or commercial building, testing systems, checking for safety concerns, and documenting anything that needs your attention. Because I spent years in construction before I ever picked up an inspection ladder, I’m not just following a checklist during your inspection, I’m reading the building the way someone who has actually built one would.

Foundation, framing, grading and drainage, crawlspaces, and the overall bones of the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a home, selling one, or managing a commercial property comes with a lot of unknowns. Here are a few answers to make your inspection day a little less stressful.
What is included in a property inspection?
A property inspection covers the visible, accessible structure and major systems of a home or commercial building, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. The goal of your inspection is to give you an honest, unbiased look at the condition of the property before you make a decision.
How much does an inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the size, age, and type of property, along with any specialty services you add, like thermal imaging or a sewer scope. Reach out and I’ll get you an accurate quote for your specific property.
How long will my inspection take?
Most residential inspections run a few hours, though timing depends on the size and condition of the home. Commercial inspections and new construction phase inspections can vary more, and I’ll give you a realistic estimate before we ever schedule.
Do I need to be there for my inspection?
You’re welcome to attend, and I’d actually encourage it. Walking the property with me is a great way to ask questions in real time, though your full written report will cover everything either way.
What if my inspection turns up problems?
No home or building is perfect, and finding issues doesn’t mean the deal is dead. Your report simply gives you the facts so you, your agent, and your lender can decide together how to move forward.
