We help you avoid the slip ups we see every week, like skipping the roof and attic, ignoring permit history, or booking too late, because those lead to surprise repairs, insurance pushback, appraisal snags, or a delayed closing.

Our services cover full building inspections, targeted moisture checks, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection, and we look at structure, roof, exterior cladding, windows, subfloor, interior, insulation and ventilation, plumbing, electrical, drainage, and outbuildings with moisture metres and thermal imaging where it helps.
