Services
Residential Inspection
Our standard residential inspection evaluates visible structural components and mechanical systems including roofing, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect hidden issues, providing same-day reports with photographic documentation to help buyers understand property condition before purchase.
New Construction Inspection
This service assesses newly built homes before final walkthroughs, checking for code compliance and workmanship issues. We examine structural integrity, system functionality, and construction quality to identify defects needing correction before builder warranties expire, ensuring clients receive properties meeting industry standards.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
Conducted before one-year builder warranties expire, this inspection identifies emerging defects in new homes. We document issues with mechanical systems, structural components, and finishes to help owners secure warranty-covered repairs, preventing costly out-of-pocket expenses after warranty expiration.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Designed for home sellers, this inspection reveals property defects before listing. We provide detailed reports to help sellers make proactive repairs, improve marketability, and build buyer confidence through transparency, potentially accelerating sales and minimizing negotiation challenges.
Annual Maintenance Review
This preventive service identifies minor issues before they become major problems. We evaluate roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural elements to recommend timely maintenance, extending property lifespan and preserving investment value through proactive care.

We used John at HomePro Inspections for our recent purchase of our townhouse. John was great, very knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and even went into detail when he noticed what appeared to be a water leak. The issues that were noted were fixed and would have been missed if he didnt do his job with such thorough detail.

I had an inspection done for a home we are purchasing and John P Jennings was thorough and reliable. He went over everything while completing the inspection as well as writing the report and sending it to me right away. I could not be happier with his professionalism and the quality of work he does.

Best inspector I've used! Wish I had contacted John Jennings at HomePro for my previous 2 properties. Scheduling our appointment was easy and he was punctual to the inspection. We walked alongside him and he explained worrisome findings in a way we could understand. Very knowledgeable and professional. Found issues on our behalf (buyers) that the seller's inspector hadn't mentioned previously. Inspection report was available same-day and fairly priced. Highly recommend!

I hired HomePro to do an inspection of my new home before closing. John was thorough in his review, taught me about features in the house, and gave me recommendations for maintenance. This is my 3rd home purchase, but none of the previous inspections provided a report as specific as his so I kept it for future reference. Highly recommend!

It was very easy to follow along. John explained things however didn't go so far that I couldn't follow. He was willing to answer questions I had. And he was fast but thorough.
