A general home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a home's overall condition, safety and functionality. This inspection is a non-invasive & visual examination of: structure, mechanical systems, interior/exterior, appliances and drainage & ventilation.
Reports are delivered electronically within 24-hours, but typically the morning after the inspection.
To be considered a residential multi-unit building, the building must have at least two units but no more than four units. More than four units is considered a commercial building. Our Residential Multi-Unit Inspections include the same perks as our General Home Inspection.
Ideal for investors who are not interested in cosmetic or moderate deficiencies. In a 5-Point Inspection we check these 5 major areas: Roof, Foundation, Electrical Panel, HVAC & Plumbing.

The primary purpose of a pre-drywall inspection is to verify that the structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems have been installed correctly and comply with building codes, plans, and specifications. This inspection provides an opportunity to identify and correct any issues before they become hidden behind drywall, where they could be more costly and challenging to address.
This final-walk through inspection is the last opportunity for the buyer to carefully review the property before closing. The goal is to confirm that the home is complete, move-in ready and built according to the agreed-upon plans and specifications. It typically happens a few days before closing. During this inspection, we will check that all agreed-upon work is complete, inspect for quality & functionality, confirm safety & code compliance and document some cosmetic issues.
A standard final walk-through confirms the home is complete and functional, while a blue tape walk-through takes it a step further by ensuring the fit & finish meet your expectations by marking every cosmetic flaw so the builder can address them before closing. This type of inspection is often slower and more thorough than a standard final walk-through because it's detail-oriented and ensures aesthetic standards match what was promised in the contract.
This inspection identifies any defects, deficiencies or warranty-covered issues that have developed since buyers took ownership. This allows owners to request repairs or corrections before the builder's warranty expires. During this inspection, we will review the homes major systems and components including: structure, mechanical systems, interior/exterior, drainage & grading and safety features. We also document any wear, settling or workmanship issues that may have emerged. *Not cosmetic*
Every year, approximately 50% of all homes tested in Ohio have elevated levels of radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right behind smoking. We use the most advanced digital radon device to generate a report delivered within minutes of test completion.
Indoor air quality testing can alert you to the presence of this potentially harmful compound (mold) so that you can take steps to remove it from your home. If these compounds or air pollutants go undetected, they can cause damage to your property or health. This comprehensive air-quality test compares (1) outdoor sample and (1) indoor sample to determine the presence of mold and the over-all air quality in the home. This service is especially beneficial for those who are sensitive to allergens.
During a general home inspection, Josh may find indications of mold on a surface. If it appears to be of concern, he may recommend a sample to be taken (at the time of the inspection) and mailed out immediately for testing. Similarly, if an existing home owner notices indications of mold, a sample will be taken (at this stand-alone service) and mailed out immediately for testing.
This comprehensive report indicates visible and non-visible evidence of wood destroying insects such as termites, carpenter ants and other wood destroying insects or pests. Terminate inspections are not required for purchasing or refinancing a home. However, some lending institutions need a qualified & licensed pest technician to determine if the home is free from termites and other pests that destroy wood before they lend money to the buyer. **FHA/VA loans require**
Sewer scope inspections are the only way to determine if the private sewer line of the home is clogged with foreign objects, tree roots or shows signs of cracks or damage. We use the highest quality sewer scope with a self-leveling camera. A self-leveling camera is important because the camera delivers upright pictures and videos, which helps the user get orientation. We provide a video recording of the inspection, explain what we see & recommend repair if needed.
