A residential home inspection is a non-invasive, visual evaluation of a home's accessible systems and components — roof, exterior, structure, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, interior, and appliances — performed before a real estate purchase. Our inspections take 2.5–4 hours, include hundreds of photos, and produce a written report within 24 hours.

Common questions
How long does a residential home inspection take?
Most single-family inspections take 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on home size, age, and condition. Larger homes or homes with detached structures may take longer. You receive your full written report within 24 hours.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
You are not required to be present, but we strongly encourage it for the final 30-45 minutes. We walk through every finding in person, show you photos, and answer questions in real time — much more useful than reading the report alone.
What does a residential inspection NOT cover?
A standard inspection is a visual evaluation of accessible systems. It does not include radon testing, sewer scope, mold sampling, lead paint, asbestos, or termite — all available as add-on services. It also is not a code inspection or appraisal.
