What's included in a residential inspection
Our flagship 120-point residential inspection covers every system in your home — not a checklist run by a stopwatch. We climb safe roofs, crawl every crawlspace, and test every accessible system. Then we put it all into a digital report you'll have within 24 hours.
- Roof & attic — shingles, flashing, ventilation, insulation, framing, signs of leaks
- Foundation & structure — cracks, settlement, water intrusion, beam & joist integrity
- Electrical — panel, breakers, GFCI/AFCI, every accessible outlet, grounding, aluminum wiring
- Plumbing — supply lines, drains, water heater, fixtures, water pressure, signs of leaks
- HVAC — furnace, A/C, ductwork, filters, age and remaining life of equipment
- Exterior — siding, trim, soffits, fascia, decks, grading, drainage
- Interior — walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, railings
- Appliances — every built-in appliance tested for basic function
Who hires us for residential inspections?
Home buyers
Most of our residential work. You're under contract and you have 5–10 days to inspect. We get you scheduled fast — usually within 48–72 hours — and your report lands in your agent's inbox the next day.
