Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems, including structure, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, using advanced tools like thermal imaging and drones. Reports highlight critical issues to inform buyers decisions, ensuring transparency and clarity. With over 1,000 completed inspections, we combine construction expertise with rigorous analysis to deliver reliable assessments.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, electrical faults, and insulation gaps by analyzing temperature variations. This non-invasive technology enhances standard inspections, identifying issues invisible to the naked eye. Our certified technicians interpret thermal data to provide actionable insights, improving safety and preventing costly repairs for homeowners.
Drone Inspections
Drones inspect rooftops, chimneys, and elevated structures safely and efficiently, capturing high-resolution images for detailed analysis. This technology reduces risks and time spent on manual inspections while ensuring thorough coverage. Drones enable us to assess hard-to-reach areas, offering clients a complete view of property conditions.
BIGCrawler Technology
The BIGCrawler explores crawlspaces and confined areas, transmitting real-time video to identify structural defects or pest infestations. This proprietary tool ensures thorough inspections without physical intrusion, preserving property integrity. It allows precise documentation of hidden issues, enhancing report accuracy for informed buyer decisions.
Pool Inspections
Pool inspections assess safety features, structural integrity, and equipment functionality, including pumps, filters, and heaters. We identify necessary repairs and maintenance concerns to ensure compliance with regulations. Our reports avoid contractor bias, providing impartial evaluations of pool conditions to protect buyers investments.

Report
They were kind and thorough.The inspector allowed me to tag along and ask questions. I would have given 5 stars, but they didn't run the dishwasher. Otherwise, I appreciate their professionalism.

Report
Baker Inspection Group has the most complete, clear, and thorough home inspections. Expect them to take 2+ hrs. but also expect views of your attic space and crawl space, and a very complete report. Scott is kind and communicates clearly, and they have great pest inspection partners. Use who you will, but I will only be requesting Baker Inspection for my personal home inspections in the future. Thank you for your great work (and saving my buyers in the long run!)

Scott really took his time to do a thorough inspection of the house. He was very meticulous and professional in all aspects. He took his time to explain all of his observations to us and answer all of our questions. When we received the written report, the online platform was easy to access and high tech. He had some panoramic pictures, videos, and red arrows pointing exactly to the spots we was reporting on. We highly recommend Baker Inspection Group for anyone wanting to put their mind at ease in the inspection process!

Report
Baker Inspection Group performed an inspection on the home I was buying 1 year ago. He was extremely thorough and gave a detailed report to me at the end. He was very professional and walked me through the entire report. After living in the house for a year I can confirm he found absolutely everything that needed fixing. I honestly cannot praise the service enough. This was my second home and while purchasing my first I got a short check off sheet of things the inspector looked at and that was it. That was not the case with Baker, he took pictures and extensive notes documenting any find.
