Your Inspection
What to expect from your inspection.
Whether you're buying, selling, or maintaining your home, I provide professional service from the very first call — and I'll teach you as much as you want to learn along the way.
What's inspected?
A look at the systems and components I cover during a standard inspection.

Electrical Systems
Service entrance and panels, branch circuits, connected devices and fixtures, GFCI-protected outlets.
Plumbing
Fixtures and faucets, water supply systems, drains/waste/vent systems, water heaters, vents/flues/chimneys, sump pumps, fuel storage and distribution.
Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Heating and cooling equipment, ducts, vents and flues.
A Thorough Visual Inspection
This is a limited visual inspection — I don't have X-ray vision, so I can't see through walls or inside sealed systems, and I won't disassemble or damage anything to get there. What I can do is go through everything I can safely reach, use my experience and tools to surface defects and potential problem areas, and report clearly and honestly on what I find.
I'll walk you through the home and explain what I'm seeing as we go. I strictly follow the Standards of Practice established by Massachusetts, Connecticut, and InterNACHI, so you can trust that the inspection is thorough and consistent.
After the inspection, I review the general condition of the property with you, talk through any major issues, and point out future maintenance and upgrades worth keeping an eye on. Everything is detailed in an easy-to-read report, delivered in HTML and/or PDF with images for reference.
