Home Buyer Inspections
Home Inspection
Starting at $395
We’ll have a qualified and experienced home inspector check the home from foundation to roof. With the latest tools and technology, we inspect the accessible structures of the home inside and out as well as the various systems and components of the home. We also include a Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection and Thermal Imaging as an added value to our customers.
After the inspection, you’ll receive an easy-to-read yet detailed report with details and high-resolution images of any issues. It’ll also include descriptions of routine maintenance for the home’s systems. The report is generated during the inspection so you’ll receive it within minutes (although reports that require lab analysis, such as mold, can take up to three days). Our job isn’t done when the reports are delivered though - you can reach out to us at any time with questions.
New Construction Inspection
Starting at $395
When buying new construction, many people assume this is a guarantee that their home will be as close to perfect as possible. But even the best contractors and code enforcers make mistakes. Plus, brand-new building materials and appliances can still have defects. From leaking sinks to improperly installed floors to stoves that won’t heat up, we’ve found all sorts of issues while inspecting new construction.
We’ll check your new home pre-drywall to ensure everything is being built to your specifications and so that we can catch issues that won’t be visible later on. During the final walkthrough, we can also ensure that all visible fixtures have been installed properly and are working as expected.
Homeowner / Seller Inspections
Pre-Listing Inspection
Starting at $395
If you’re about to sell your home, a pre-listing inspection can help affirm your asking price and avoid last-minute negotiations. It’ll provide you with the knowledge you need to address issues before a buyer’s inspection discovers them. Then, you’ll have all the time you need to get quotes for the work and complete any necessary repairs before listing the home for sale.

Annual Home Maintenance Inspection
Starting at $395
Homes and their various systems are complicated, even for experienced homeowners. These inspections will look at the overall condition of your home, check if your current maintenance is sufficient, and guide you through anything additional that may be recommended. Annual Home Maintenance Inspections are especially valuable for new homeowners and anyone who has installed a new home system. It’s also common to feel unsafe while checking crawlspaces, attics, or roofs so having a trained professional conduct routine checks can help set your mind at ease.
Bonus Services (included in most inspections)
Wood Destroying Organisms
$125 (Free w/ Residential Inspection)
Termites and other wood-destroying insects are some of the most common household pests. They can be tough to spot and, if they’re not caught early, are a huge threat to your home’s structure components. Our inspector will check for the subtle signs of the different species of wood-destroying organisms to save you from expensive repairs down the road.
Thermal Imaging
Free w/ ALL Residential Inspections
What if you could see through walls and spot water leaks before they get to the point of visibly damaging your home? Well, thermal images aren’t quite the x-ray vision you may be imaging but they do offer a non-invasive way to catch hidden issues. By translating temperature differences into color variations, thermal images show signs of water and moisture as cold spots. We’ll check key areas such as the foundation, interior/exterior walls, floors, ceilings, and around plumbing fixtures. This empowers you to fix these leaks early, preventing mold growth and costly water damage repairs.
Popular Additions:
Radon
Starting at $150
Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that causes damage to the lungs over time and has been proven to cause lung cancer. In New Jersey, it’s recommended to test your home for radon every two years. It’s also a good idea to test a home you’re buying before you move in so you can plan to mitigate it if needed.
Learn more about radon inspections.
Water Quality
Starting at $225
Tap water in the United States is generally considered to be safe. However, local contamination in a specific home or region is always a possibility. This can be from natural chemicals in our environment (e.g., arsenic and uranium), nearby manufacturing (e.g., heavy metals), land use practices (e.g., fertilizers and livestock), and malfunctioning wastewater treatment (e.g., the home’s septic system).
Drinking contaminated water can cause a variety of health concerns. The risks are even worse for young children or anyone in your home who is pregnant, elderly, or immunocompromised. Inspecting your water can offer reassurance that you’re safe or help you address issues before they become health hazards.
Asbestos
Starting at $275
Asbestos is a risk because it can cause various types of lung cancer. Similar to lead, homes built before 1978 also have a risk of asbestos. However, asbestos can be found in way more than just paint because it was used to create a variety of common building materials, such as insulation, drywall, and vinyl floor tiles. Damaged building materials can release asbestos into the air and it’s hard to tell if you’re being exposed unless your home is tested.
If you spot damaged building materials in your home or if you plan to complete any renovations, it’s a good idea to have that area inspected for asbestos. You can add this service to another type of home inspection or just have this inspection by itself prior to your next home renovation.

Mold Testing
Starting at $285
If mold is left to multiply, it can destroy various components of a home and even cause structural damage. It can also cause health issues ranging from allergic reactions to infections.
Since mold is all around us, DIY mold tests can be misleading and homeowners often tell us these tests ended up being too hard to interpret. Our professional home inspector can help you accurately and effectively test for mold. Plus, we’ll help explain the results and, if needed, we can offer recommendations for how to remedy mold issues based on years of experience with homes just like yours.

Sewer Scope
Starting at $275
Many causes of sewer line damage, such as tree roots growing into it, are not covered by homeowner’s insurance. Repairs can cost hundreds or even thousands and you may not know you have any issues until it’s too late.
This type of inspection allows you to see the inside of your home’s sewer line from where it leaves your home to where it connects with the county’s sewer. Your inspector will provide you with a video of the inside of the pipe and help you identify any weak points so they can be fixed proactively. This is important for older homes but even new construction can have damage due to heavy machinery running over it or even defects in building materials.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Starting at $300
Mold isn’t the only risk to indoor air quality. Homes can also house dozens of airborne contaminants, including chemical compounds, combustion pollutants, and biological pollutants. Having your air quality professionally tested can provide insights into the safety of the air that you and your family breathe every day.
How To Improve Air Quality In Your Home.
Irrigation System
Starting at $125
Irrigation systems are a vital part of keeping a property healthy, but they often go unnoticed until problems appear. These inspections focus on the overall condition of your irrigation system, determine whether your current upkeep is effective, and identify any improvements that may be necessary. Irrigation System Inspections are especially valuable for homeowners with newly installed systems or those who have noticed changes in water pressure or coverage. It’s also common to feel uncertain about inspecting underground lines, valves, or control panels, so having a trained professional perform routine checks can help ensure your system is working properly and give you peace of mind.
Pool & Spa
Starting at $185
Pools and spas require regular maintenance to ensure their functionality and longevity. Even with routine visits from a pool maintenance professional, they’re only focused on cleaning and chemistry. We’ll inspect the condition and safety of the valves, drains, gates, inlets, heater, and thermostat. The electrical system of the pool is inspected, including switches, alarms, lighting, and more. We also check the water level and look for risks such as blockages, debris, stains, and biological growth. Finally, we ensure there is adequate fencing with secure gates and, if applicable, ensure deck safety.

Deck
Starting at $150
Starting with underneath the deck, our inspector will determine if the deck is safe to walk on. If it is safe, we’ll check the decking, handrails, and other fixtures. Your inspection report will help reassure you that your deck is safe or provide guidance on what repairs are required to ensure its safety.
Chinese Drywall
Starting at $450
The term “Chinese drywall” refers to a defective and dangerous drywall imported from China between 2001 and 2009. It was used in about 100,000 homes across the United States. The noxious gasses it emits not only cause a “rotten egg” smell in your home and corrode your home’s metal components faster but it can also cause health issues. Symptoms range from eye and skin irritation to difficulty breathing and headaches.
If you’re worried about having this in your home, that’s where we come in. After testing your home’s walls, we’ll be able to confirm that your walls are safe or we’ll provide you with guidance on what needs to be done to replace the dangerous drywall.
Monster-Free & Santa-Safe Inspections - FREE
Moving can be stressful at any age, but it can be especially challenging for children. Children are welcome to join for this portion of the inspection, checking for monsters in any areas of concern, such as closets and under the stairs. We’ll also ensure the home is ready for Santa to arrive, even if it doesn’t have a chimney. When you schedule your inspection, simply request these services and I’ll bring personalized monster-free and Santa-safe certificates so your children can feel confident in their new home.
