From the moment you book to the last question you have after closing, I want your inspection to feel organized, thorough, and easy to follow. Here’s how the process works when you hire me.
Book online or give me a call. I’ll confirm the property details, access, utilities, and any add-on services, so your inspection is set up for success before I ever arrive. Please make sure utilities are on and attic, crawlspace, and electrical panel access is clear.
I work through the property from the roof down to the foundation. Join me for as much as you’d like, and I’ll explain what I’m seeing and why it matters along the way. Most of your inspection time is spent looking at how the systems work together, not just ticking boxes.
Within 24 hours, you and your agent receive a detailed digital report. I stay available afterward to answer questions and help you plan your next move.
Your inspection is performed by a Master Home Inspector who also spent more than three decades building homes. I follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, operate the systems that can be safely tested, and photograph everything worth your attention. Your Spectora report arrives in both HTML and PDF formats, with every finding written in plain language, sorted by priority, and paired with a recommendation for the right professional to call. Curious what that looks like before your inspection? Take a look at a sample.
When the situation calls for a closer look, I bring more than a flashlight. Thermal imaging helps me trace moisture and heat loss behind finished surfaces, a drone lets me document roofs that aren’t safe to walk, and remote crawlspace equipment gets eyes into tight spaces under the home. If something during your inspection points to a bigger concern, I’ll tell you plainly and recommend the right specialist for a deeper evaluation, rather than guessing or leaving you with vague language. You’ll never have to wonder what a finding means or how urgent it is.
Foundation walls, piers, and slabs, along with grading and drainage around the house, framing in floors, walls, and ceilings, and exterior walkways and steps. With my framing background, this is where a builder’s perspective really pays off.
Shingles and other coverings, flashing, valleys, gutters and downspouts, skylights, chimneys, and every pipe or vent that passes through the roof.
The service drop, main panel and subpanels, branch wiring, outlets, switches, and fixtures, plus GFCI and AFCI protection and the presence of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Thermal imaging can flag overheating breakers or connections.
Supply and drain lines, faucets and fixtures, the water heater and its venting, visible gas piping, and any sump pumps or well equipment on site.
Furnaces, heat pumps, condensers, ductwork, registers, and flues, checked for operation, visible condition, and signs of poor airflow or moisture.
Dishwasher, disposal, range, cooktop, oven, microwave, vent hood, exhaust fans, and the garage door opener and its safety reverse.
