Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections assess all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. We identify current issues and potential risks while explaining findings in easy-to-understand terms. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence to support informed buying, selling, or maintenance decisions.
Stucco Inspection
Specialized stucco inspections detect moisture intrusion points and installation defects in EIFS and traditional stucco systems. We use invasive and non-invasive testing methods to determine damage extent and provide remediation recommendations. Our reports help property owners address issues before they lead to structural deterioration.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging identifies hidden moisture pockets, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies through temperature variation analysis. This non-destructive technology enables early detection of problems in walls, roofs, and mechanical systems without requiring physical disassembly.
Moisture Intrusion Forensics
Our forensic evaluations trace moisture intrusion sources in commercial and residential buildings using specialized moisture meters and testing protocols. We document installation defects and code violations that contribute to water damage, providing actionable solutions for property owners.
Radon Testing
We perform EPA-approved radon testing using continuous monitoring devices that track radon levels over 48+ hours. Results include detailed analysis of radioactive gas concentrations and mitigation recommendations when levels exceed 4 pCi/L, ensuring indoor air safety compliance.

Big shout out to Matt and Chris! They were super nice, professional, and informative! They really took time to make sure all my questions were answered, and that I felt comfortable with my understanding. Being a first time home owner I'm sure some of my questions were "dumb," but they answered every question with respect. I greatly appreciated it!

Report
We had a general home and stucco inspection done by Matt, Kevin, and Chris from Green Valley. We only expected Matt and Chris at our inspections, but Kevin had a free slot in his calendar and attended the general inspection as well. Green Valley goes above and beyond in the inspection process for their clients and identifies key safety/structural risks. Their reports were more detailed than other inspection companies we've seen, their report turnaround time was 24 h or less, and Kevin patiently answered our questions over the phone, even while he was en route to a personal commitment. We also appreciated

Green Valley Group did an awesome job inspecting the stucco on our home. Their report was highly detailed and could be used by stucco remediation companies. Kevin went over the report with us in detail and explained our options. I would highly recommend the company.
