Reviews
What customers say
The walk-through at the end was worth the price on its own. We knew exactly what we were buying.
Jordan P. · Pre-purchase inspection
The thermal camera found a slow leak under the shower that we'd never have seen.
Elena V. · Pre-purchase inspection
We fixed three things before listing, and the sale went smoothly.
Robert H. · Pre-listing inspection
FAQ
Common questions
How long does an inspection take?
About 3 hours for an average house, less for a condo. Plan to join us for the last 30 minutes.
When do I get the report?
The same evening, by email, with photos and a summary of what to fix first.
Can you inspect on short notice?
Usually within 2 business days, often sooner, to fit your offer's deadline.
Do you test for asbestos or radon?
We note materials that may contain asbestos and signs of moisture, and tell you when to call a specialist for testing. Radon test kits are available as an add-on.
Is the inspection a pass or a fail?
Neither. It's a clear picture of the home's condition so you can decide, negotiate or plan repairs.
