Additional Inspection Services

Z

Pre-Listing Inspections

If you’re a seller, hire me to inspect your home first so you can fix any issues and list your home in the best possible condition. A pre-inspected home often sells quickly and with fewer complications.

Complete Radon Testing

Radon is a toxic and cancer-causing gas that builds up in soil before rising into a home. The gas is not detectable through sight, taste, or smell, so professional testing is required. We will test your home for radon so that you can ensure the safety of your family.

Follow-Up Inspections

If you’ve already received a home inspection and asked for repairs, hire me to reinspect the property and ensure the repairs were made appropriately.
p

Home Safety Inspections

Hire me to inspect your home for any fire safety issues that may compromise your family. I also provide safety inspections for the elderly. With each inspection, I’ll provide a list of recommendations to improve the safety of your home.

I use HomeGauge Software to give you the most cutting-edge report in the inspection industry.
