Buyer's Home Inspection
Our Buyer's Home Inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of a property's structure and systems, including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Using thermal imaging, we identify hidden defects to help buyers make informed decisions. Reports adhere to InterNACHI standards for accuracy and clarity.
Seller's Home Inspection
Seller's Home Inspections uncover major defects before listing, allowing repairs prior to buyer inspections. This proactive approach streamlines negotiations and enhances property transparency, ensuring sellers can address issues or adjust pricing confidently.
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections assess property condition for apartment buildings, churches, and retail spaces. Our survey covers major systems, identifying issues that could impact transactions or operations, following InterNACHI standards for commercial properties.
Pre-Drywall Inspections
Pre-Drywall Inspections examine framing, electrical, and plumbing systems before finishes are installed. This process detects hidden flaws in new homes, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with construction standards during critical building phases.
Appliance Recall Checking
Appliance Recall Checking identifies hazardous products using manufacturer model numbers. We provide detailed reports within two business days, ensuring homeowners address safety risks promptly through this essential, cost-effective service.

Mr. Griffin provided excellent inspection services for our recent home purchase. He diligently checked all the major systems/areas during his 3hr walkthrough and was always happy to answer any questions. I definitely recommend his inspection services to anyone looking to purchase a home in this area.

We needed a pre-purchase inspection done within a very short period of time - and we were not going to be able to be there while the inspection was being dome. Not only did Andy come through on a timely basis, he also followed up with us several times to answer questions that we had about his very thorough inspection report. We will definitely hire him again for any similar work that we need done.

Report
Performed a home inspection for a home I purchased in 2014. Noted knob and tube wiring in the attic and stated that it was dead after checking it. Selling the house 6 years later, low and behold, live portions of knob and tube wiring. For as serious of an issue as this could have been, more diligent work should have been performed. Incredibly disappointed at the poor quality exhibited.

My husband and I bought our first house several weeks ago: at the suggestion of our real estate agent, we booked our inspection with Andy. Andy was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and patient. We are first time home buyers and we felt extremely comfortable asking Andy any "dumb" question we could think of. He made the inspection actually fun! We got to spend time in our future home, learn all about it, learn all about houses, and gain a fuller understanding of what we need to worry about as property owners. Overall our experience was incredibly positive and we both left feeling we knew

Andy was great and provided us with a thorough inspection. The report was very detailed with photos and recommendations and came back in only a couple business days. He was nice to talk to during the inspection and taught us a lot about repairs, functionality and future projects. I would highly recommend Andy Griffin to inspect your home.
