01 / FOR HOMEBUYERS
⌂

Home inspections

A careful visual evaluation of the home’s condition, with findings explained in plain English.

  • Roof, exterior & foundation
  • Electrical, plumbing & HVAC
  • Interior, attic & accessible spaces
Take a closer look +

We evaluate visible, accessible components, document observed concerns, and help you understand which findings may need a qualified professional’s follow-up. An inspection is a snapshot of the home’s condition, not a prediction or guarantee.

02 / AN INVISIBLE CONCERN
◎

Radon testing

Radon can’t be seen or smelled. Professional testing helps you understand the conditions in your home.

Take a closer look +

Arrange radon measurement with NJ Certified Radon Measurement Technician MET #14458. We explain the testing setup, required conditions, and results so you can discuss any necessary next steps.

03 / LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE
⌘

WDO / termite

An inspection for visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms and related damage in accessible areas.

Take a closer look +

We look for visible signs of termites and other wood-destroying organisms. Concealed or inaccessible conditions may not be detectable. Ask about adding this service to your home inspection.

04 / FOR HOME SELLERS

Pre-listing inspections

Get familiar with your home’s condition before buyers start asking questions.

Take a closer look +

A pre-listing inspection gives you time to consider observed issues, seek estimates, and prepare for conversations with prospective buyers. It follows the same careful approach as a buyer’s inspection.

What does a home inspection cover?+

A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the home’s accessible structure and systems, including the roof, exterior, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and interior. The inspection agreement defines the scope and limitations. It does not include destructive testing or a guarantee of future performance.

Should I attend the inspection?+

You’re encouraged to attend. Seeing the home with your inspector is a useful opportunity to understand observed conditions, learn about the systems, and ask questions.

How much does an inspection cost?+

Pricing depends on the property and the services you select. Share the address, approximate size, and any additional testing you need for a property-specific quote.

Can I book radon and termite services together?+

Yes, ask about arranging radon testing and a WDO/termite inspection along with your home inspection. Scheduling and testing requirements will be confirmed for your property.

What if an inspection finds a problem?+

Most homes have findings to consider. The report helps you understand observed concerns and recommended follow-up. Discuss the findings with your agent and relevant qualified professionals to decide your next steps.
