All of our home inspections include extraordinary attention
to detail and concerns for your rights. This lays the foundation for a strong
partnership between the Home Inspection Specialist and every client.
The knowledge gained from a home inspection is well worth
the cost, and the lowest priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain. The
inspector's qualifications, including his or her experience, training, and
professional affiliations, should be the most important consideration.
A comprehensive inspection report and follow-up is included with all inspections. We will spend as much time as needed for a thorough comprehensive inspection.

any unpleasant surprises that could prevent the real estate transaction from

as those listed below. It is recommended that the buyer have an updated inspection
performed at a substantial discount.

Radon: What is
Radon. I will test your home for dangerous
radon levels using a continuous monitor. The continuous monitor or "CRM"
records the radon level reading each hour. With the minimum time set by the
EPA being 48 hours in your new home, you will be getting 48 separate readings
to graph your levels along with the EPA average. A computer generated report
of the results will follow. The price for this service is
$90.00 with a home Inspection and $125.00 alone.
Mold/Mildew Mold Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals with specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpretation of results. Sample analysis should follow analytical methods recommended by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), The EPA or other professional guidelines. Types of samples include air samples, surface samples, bulk samples (chunks of carpet, insulation, wall board, etc.), and water samples from condensate drain pans. Our prices average $400.00 per inspection. This includes the initial inspection and sampling procedure (2 to 3 air samples or swabs), the laboratory analysis, and a written report with digital pictures. Each air sampling will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Turn around times for lab analysis ranges from 24 hours and up to 5 days, depending on type sampling procedure.
Lead Paint: Lead Paint Lead paint can be found in many older homes, those built prior to 1978 could pose a serious health risk. There is only one way to know if lead paint is in your home and that is testing. The price is $25.00, with your home inspection, to determine the presence of lead. A detailed laboratory ans will cost extra.
