What Is a Full Home Inspection?

A Full Home Inspection is a comprehensive, non-invasive evaluation of all major components of a property. Our certified inspectors carefully examine the home from top to bottom, using a combination of hands-on inspection techniques and advanced tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging.

The goal is simple:

To help you understand the home’s current condition, potential concerns, and necessary repairs or maintenance.

Whether the home is brand-new, recently remodeled, or several decades old, a full inspection brings peace of mind and protects your investment.
