saved us from getting into a losing battle with a crumbling foundation and major mold issues!

Matt did an outstanding job! His inspection of a house my wife and I were ready to buy saved us from getting into a losing battle with a crumbling foundation and major mold issues! He was incredibly professional while still being very easy to talk to, and his attitude was upbeat and positive. He explained the whole process and all of the options available, and was very patient through my MANY questions. The report was super easy to read, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need!

What's Included In A Home Inspection?

A full home inspection is a detailed review of a property—whether you’re getting ready to sell or preparing to buy.

Our certified inspector will examine the roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, and more. We’ll also check the foundation for cracks or signs of water intrusion that could lead to serious issues.

We’re trained to spot potential problems early—helping you avoid costly repairs later.

See below for a full breakdown of what’s included in every home inspection.

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements.
That’s why our inspection starts right at the top. We assess the overall condition and structure of the roof, including coverings, flashing, gutters, downspouts, chimneys, vents, skylights, and any roof penetrations. Our goal is to help you understand how well your roof is protecting your home—and what might need attention now or later.

What you don’t see in a home matters just as much as what you do.
That’s why we inspect the insulation and ventilation of unfinished areas like attics, crawlspaces, and foundations. We also check exhaust systems to ensure proper airflow. These hidden spaces can reveal issues with moisture, heat retention, or even structural concerns that impact your home’s efficiency and safety.

Curb appeal matters—but protection matters more.
Our exterior inspection focuses on how well your home’s outer shell is holding up against the elements. We assess siding, trim, exterior doors, windows, flashing, and drainage systems, as well as walkways, stairs, patios, decks, and driveways. It’s about more than looks—it’s about lasting protection and long-term value.

A solid home starts with a solid foundation.
We inspect for signs of movement, cracks, water intrusion, and structural weaknesses that could threaten the stability of the entire home. Whether it’s a slab, crawlspace, or basement, we make sure the foundation is doing its job—keeping everything above it safe and sound.

Comfort counts—especially in the summer.
We check the overall condition and functionality of your home’s cooling system, including the type, energy source, and thermostat. Our goal is to make sure it’s not just present, but working efficiently and ready to keep your home cool when you need it most.

Heat is more than comfort—it’s a necessity in Northern Michigan.
We inspect the heating system to ensure it’s safe, functional, and reliable. This includes identifying the type of system, energy source, thermostat location, and overall condition. When the temperatures drop, you’ll want to know your home is ready to keep you warm.

Fireplaces bring comfort—but safety comes first.
We inspect all visible components of your fireplace and chimney, including the structure, lintels, damper doors, clean-out doors, and frames. Our goal is to help ensure your system is venting properly and free from damage, so you can enjoy warmth without worry.

Electrical issues are one of the leading causes of house fires—so we take this part seriously.
We inspect the full electrical system, starting with the service drop where power connects to your home. This includes conductors, the service head and mast, main panel, panel boards, grounding, switches, and outlets. We also check for the presence and placement of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure your safety.

Plumbing problems can lead to big headaches—and big repair bills.
That’s why we thoroughly inspect the home’s plumbing system, including the main water and fuel shut-off valves, water heater, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, drains, and all visible supply, waste, and ventilation lines. Our goal is to help you avoid costly surprises and spot potential issues before they escalate.

Everything else still matters.
We inspect the general interior condition of the home, including doors, windows, ceilings, walls, floors, stairs, hand railings, and garage doors with their openers. These details may seem small, but they play a big role in your comfort, safety, and the overall quality of the home.
