A home inspection provides a detailed, objective evaluation of a property’s overall condition — helping you understand what you’re buying, what may need attention, and what’s performing as it should. It’s an important step in making an informed real estate decision and planning for future maintenance.
The building inspection is a thorough visual examination of all major components of the property, focusing on areas that are safely and readily accessible. The goal is to identify visible signs or clues that may indicate underlying issues.
The inspection emphasizes conditions that could significantly affect the true cost of ownership, providing clear insight into potential repairs or remedies.
When appropriate, we also provide recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or qualified contractors who can offer further evaluation or service.

We provide a written inspection report prepared according to nationally recognized standards of practice.
Our reports have been refined over more than 20 years in the business — written in plain language, with no boilerplate filler.
Following the inspection, a PDF report with supporting photos will be emailed to the client.
(An example report can be viewed [here].)
In addition to standard home inspections, we also offer environmental testing services that provide a more complete picture of a property’s condition:
Radon Testing: Identify invisible gas exposure that can affect indoor air quality and health.
Water Quality Testing: Evaluate well water safety and identify contaminants common in Maine groundwater.
These optional tests are often included in real estate transactions and provide valuable information for both buyers and sellers.
