Services
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Our pre-purchase inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of residential properties for potential buyers. We examine structural components, mechanical systems, and safety features while explaining findings directly to clients. Our detailed digital reports include maintenance recommendations and help buyers make informed investment decisions.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
This specialized inspection evaluates homes during construction before drywall installation. We assess electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems while verifying proper structural components. Our third-party evaluations help identify issues early in the building process, ensuring proper installation before walls are closed.
Final Walk-Through
Conducted before new homeowners take possession, this inspection verifies proper installation of all systems in completed homes. We check doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, and appliances while providing maintenance guidance for new homeowners to preserve their property's condition.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Designed for home sellers, this inspection identifies potential issues before listing. Our assessment covers the same areas as buyer inspections, helping sellers address concerns proactively and present their property in the best possible condition to potential buyers.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Using advanced monitoring equipment, we provide accurate assessments of radon concentrations in basements and lower levels, helping homeowners understand potential health risks associated with elevated levels.

We found HHI through our realtor and Jamie performed our home inspection. As first time home buyers, it was really refreshing for Jamie to go through a very detailed explanation of what to keep an eye out for. He answered every question we had, as we walked through inspecting every part of the home. Jamie was professional and personable, thank you!

Wow. Just wow. From start to finish, HHI was just amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. Like others here, I found HHI via a quick Google search. My background: I bought my condo a year and a half ago, but had a hunch that something wasn't right with my kitchen ceiling and wanted to have an inspector come out and test moisture levels. I sent an email Friday evening, and by Saturday morning, had a thorough reply in my inbox. Early the next week, I talked extensively on the phone with Claudia who really walked me through all of my pricing options honestly and openly. By Sunday afternoon (9

It's a CRAZY competitive seller's property market. We were one of those couples that were brought to our knees by waiving all contingencies (including home inspection) to win and buy a property. Soon after closing and the final walk-through, we found a few questionable items in the home that we wanted to get professionally inspected when reality sank in. Through a quick google search, I found HHI Inspection. The communication with this business was pleasant. Initially, I spoke to Claudia, who explained all my options and also scheduled my appointment. Kevin Bartik was our Home Inspector. He was

What a wonderful, seamless experience! From the phone call booking the appointment, to the unbeatable price, and the professionalism of Seth and Chris. They were detailed and patient with my questions and even provided a "How to Operate Your Home" help book with the ins and outs of everything you can expect when operating your first home. Great experience overall - highly, highly recommend.
