Services and Fees

Home Inspection: starts $320

I follow a comprehensive Residential Standards of Practice. This means that I’ll inspect the visible and accessible structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof, using the latest tools and technology. Following my evaluation, I’ll compile my findings in an easy-to-read report, which will include detailed descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues I’ve discovered. I’ll deliver your report within 24 hours, and my job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.

Wood-Destroying Organism (Termite): $100

Wood-destroying insects can cause serious damage to the wooden structural components of a house. They can hide and go undetected for a long time, but there are many telltale signs for different species that indicate their presence. I’ll inspect your home for evidence of infestation now before it becomes an expensive problem later.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspection: Free

I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. An IR camera translates the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale, with higher temperatures appearing as lighter colors, and lower temperatures and wet areas appearing as darker colors. By evaluating these images, I can detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Pool & Spa Inspection: $100

Your pool and spa require proper maintenance and regular inspection so that you can enjoy them for years to come. Your pool maintenance professional is responsible only for your pool’s chemistry and cleanliness. Using a comprehensive checklist, I will inspect your pool and spa for all the other items that will ensure their proper condition and function, as well as your family’s safety.

Septic System Inspection:$100

I will conduct an inspection of your onsite wastewater (septic) treatment system, assess its overall condition and maintenance, test for functional operation, and advise you of my findings. If the system is overloaded, I can recommend further steps you can take to remedy the problem.

Commercial Building Inspection: .10 sq ft

Remember that your liability can extend to employees, customers and occupants, so make sure that your commercial property’s structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC are functioning safely. If there are issues, I can make the appropriate recommendations for licensed professionals who can advise you on specific maintenance and repairs.

New Construction Inspection: starts $320

Are you building a new home? I’ll come out during different phases of the construction process to make sure your project is being executed according to your specs, and verify that scheduled work has been completed before you make a payment to your contractor. I’ll also come out prior to project completion to help you and your general contractor devise a punch list of remaining items.

EIFS/Stucco Inspection:

Stucco is an attractive exterior cladding that has superior insulation value, weather resistance, and longevity. It can be applied over a range of surfaces, including masonry, metal, and wood. Stucco requires an expert to properly apply and repair it. Stucco also requires specialized knowledge to accurately identify its different components. I’ll perform a non-invasive inspection to determine the type of stucco system on your home, and make recommendations for maintenance and repair, if necessary.

Roof Inspection:

Do you need just a roof inspection performed for insurance or other purposes? I will perform a standalone Roof Inspection & Certification and evaluate your roof from the eaves, as well as walk it (when it is safe to do so) to assess its overall condition, including the presence and status of flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations.

Moisture Inspection:

Using a meter to check areas around pipes, A/C units and other appliances that may cause leakage or condensation problems may reveal moisture collecting inside your walls. ... A professional with a home inspection moisture meter can find the source of the moisture, so the homeowner can fix the problem once and for all.

Plumbing Inspection:

A plumbing inspection is a systematic process of assessing the critical areas of the plumbing system of a property. It is performed by certified plumbers to avoid the risk of pipe corrosion, clogs, leaks, and burst tubes that can cause flooding and property damage.
