Home Inspections for the home seller
Pre-Listing Inspection
Our Inspection service can help with legal implications of seller disclosure requirements that often put sellers in a difficult position. A seller providing a home inspection can disclose all conditions found and make repairs before selling. By having a Seller Pre-Listing Inspection Report you have documentation to supplement your Seller Disclosure form.

New Construction Inspection
New construction inspections are performed at the completion of construction, but prior to your final walk through with the Builder’s Customer Service Representative or Superintendent. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities (gas, water, and electric) have been turned on, either by you or the Builder depending on the Builder’s policy. The inspection should be scheduled just a day or two before you final walk through with the Builder. This will ensure that most, if not all, last minute items have been completed prior to your inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection a completed report will be distributed to you.
Wind Mitigation Inspections
A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a valuable inspection service that may reduce your windstorm insurance. Wind Insurance discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high wind events.
The Wind Mitigation discounts are justified because stronger, more wind-resistive structures have lower windstorm losses, which mean reduced costs to insurance companies. Most existing structures have one or more wind resistive construction features and may qualify for some Wind Mitigation insurance discounts.
Wind Mitigation Inspections are available for all single family homes, townhouses, condos and commercial buildings.
Four Point Insurance Inspection
The Four Point Insurance Inspection consists of the following four systems:
- Roof Inspection
- Electrical Inspection
- HVAC (Heat, Ventilation & A/C)
- Plumbing
Mold Inspection
Mold and your house: You may have mold and/or mildew growing in your home if your home has water damage due to:
- Sewage back-up from flooding in the area.
- Plumbing or roof leaks.
- A damp basement or crawl space.
- Overflows from sinks or bathtub.
- High humidity (Dryer vents, humidifiers, bad AC)
Mold and mildew will develop within 24-48 hours of water exposure.
Even worse, it will continue to grow until steps are taken to eliminate the source of moisture, and effectively deal with the mold problem. Mold can grow on almost any kind of surface, and eventually decomposing the material, they can grow and damage building materials, fabrics, furniture, and personal belongings; that is why it is best to determine if you have mold before it destroys your home.
