Home Inspection

Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Using thermal imaging and precision measurement tools, we identify potential issues from roof to foundation. Clients receive detailed reports with photos and maintenance recommendations within 24 hours, empowering informed decision-making for buyers and sellers.

New Construction Inspection

Specialized inspections for new homes during construction phases. We examine electrical wiring, plumbing, structural framing, and fire-blocking before drywall installation. Our process ensures compliance with building codes and manufacturer specifications, providing critical insights that protect homeowners' investments and safety during the final construction stages.

Deck Inspection

Certified deck inspections following NADRA standards assess structural integrity and safety compliance. We evaluate lateral bracing, post footings, beam attachments, and load distribution. This service identifies potential hazards in existing decks and ensures proper construction techniques during new installations, maintaining safe outdoor living spaces.

Thermal Imaging

Advanced thermal imaging technology detects hidden moisture issues, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. This non-invasive diagnostic tool reveals problems invisible to the naked eye, enabling early intervention that prevents costly damage while improving energy efficiency and home safety.

Foundation Elevation Measurement

Precision foundation elevation measurements using calibrated altimeters identify settlement issues and structural movement. This service quantifies slab slope to 1/10 inch accuracy, providing critical data for assessing foundation health and guiding necessary repairs or maintenance.

I am buying a new house and had a different inspector take a look at the house. This earlier inspector worked for all of 1.5 hours; he said this is a very boring house and it is too new (2018) to merit an inspection. I paid this earlier inspector about $500 for the report and $40 for the privilege of downloading the report from his website.
Then, I decided to hire Larry based on his AngiesList recommendations. It is certainly one of the better decisions that I have made in life!
Larry is very knowledgeable and thorough in his approach. He spent 4 hours going over everything in the house and wrote

Im quite a busy person but I think Larry deserves my time and this review. Will be rather direct and blunt. I am a first time homeowner so a lot of anxiety and lack of knowledge but I couldnt have picked a better home inspector. He will be on time. He is quite thorough and at the same time educational. I followed him for the entire inspection and asked a lot of questions to learn. Larry didnt mind at all. My realtor recommended her usual home inspector but I decided to find one on my own. I later found out my realtors house got inspected by Larry as well insisted by her husband

Larry inspected our metal roof after it was installed because we didn't trust the contractor. Larry's information helped us get work done that was overlooked. He's on time, thorough, helpful, & very reasonable for the amount of time & effort he spends. We're recommending him to our son & daughter-in-law for their first home purchase.
