We Go The Extra Mile

Whenever possible, we physically walk on every roof to perform our roof inspections. While binoculars and drones are very useful tools during a roof inspection, we only resort to these pieces of equipment if it is absolutely unsafe to do so or the current owner of the property specifically advises us not to walk on the surface (this is most common on new builds for warranty purposes)

We will physically enter the attic space whenever it is safe, this way we can perform the most thorough inspection we can. Yes, you can spot many defects by climbing up high enough to look around from the attic access but getting in there and taking a closer look gives us a chance to spot many other issues that could be missed or overlooked.

We get down and dirty in small crawlspaces when it is safe to do so to check the condition of the components and systems under the home. Many active issues and defects are overlooked or missed due to minimal access or room for movement in crawlspaces.

We include thermal imaging as part of our standard home inspections. When we come across potential water intrusion, heat loss/weather penetration through structure openings or potential furnace issues, we will use our thermal imaging devices to further investigate.

You will receive your detailed inspection report the same day as your inspection or it's free.
