Inspection costs depend on the property's size and the services you choose. We provide clear pricing upfront. Visit our services page or contact us directly for details.

No. A home inspection is not pass/fail. It is an information and risk-assessment process.

Usually no. The best repair requests focus on safety, active leaks, and significant performance concerns.

No inspection can. Limitations include concealed conditions and inaccessible areas. The goal is thorough evaluation of what is visible and accessible, with clear documentation of any limitations.

Most single-family inspections take a few hours, depending on size, complexity, and access.

Yes. Attending helps you understand the home and the priorities in the report.

Pool and spa inspections can be inspected as an add-on service. Ask when scheduling so the right time is allotted.

Thermal imaging, also called infrared (IR) imaging, is a technology that shows surface temperature patterns on walls, ceilings, floors, and building components. During a home inspection, it is used as a screening tool to help identify areas that may deserve closer attention, especially when a problem may be hidden from view.

Thermal imaging can be useful for spotting temperature “anomalies” that may be consistent with:

• Hidden moisture from plumbing leaks, roof leaks, or window intrusion

• Missing or disturbed insulation

• Air leaks that affect comfort and energy efficiency

• Overheating electrical components in some situations (when visible and safely accessible)

It is important to understand its limits. A thermal camera does not see through walls and it does not confirm a leak or defect by itself. When a suspicious pattern is found, it is typically verified with other information, such as visible evidence and, when appropriate, a moisture meter. Thermal imaging helps reduce unknowns and improves documentation, but it does not guarantee that all hidden issues will be found.
