field notes from a Detailed Home Inspector

Providing objective, independent and unbiased house inspections. We thoroughly examine the electrical, heating and cooling systems, plumbing, attic, roof surface, insulation, structure, and foundation. Each home inspection comes with a 1-hour walk-through with the client plus a report that is a written narrative which is not overly technical and easy to understand. Digital copy of all photos.
