Our Services

A full home inspection is the foundation. From there, you choose exactly the add-ons and specialty services that fit the property — clear pricing, no bundled fluff.

The Base Service

Residential Home Inspection

A thorough, top-to-bottom evaluation of the property — roof, structure, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, windows, doors, and more. You get a detailed, photo-rich report so you know exactly what you are buying.

Optional Add-Ons

Ancillary Services

Every home buyer benefits from a more complete picture. Add only what you need — nothing is bundled or forced.

$250

Sewer Scope

Camera inspection of the main sewer line to catch blockages, root intrusion, and pipe damage before they become costly surprises.

$150

Radon Testing

Measure radon gas levels — a leading cause of lung cancer — so you can make an informed, healthy decision.

From $150

Water Testing

Certified lab analysis of well or tap water for safety and quality — two packages available, especially important for rural properties. See the breakdown below.

$150 / structure

Detached Structures

Water Quality Testing

Certified lab analysis of your well or tap water for safety and quality. Two straightforward packages, priced as low as I can make them — well and rural properties especially benefit from the more complete Tri-County panel.

Basic Package$150

Specialty Service

Well Performance Testing — Flow, Drawdown & Recovery

Certified well flow and drawdown & recovery testing for private and rural wells across Eastern Washington & North Idaho — trusted for real estate sales and VA, FHA & USDA loans. Flat, upfront pricing with a clear, emailed report.

Flow, drawdown, and recovery testing for private and rural wells across Eastern WA and North Idaho — backed by InterNACHI rural water training and NGWA pump coursework. I don't sell hours at a well; I provide well-performance information at the level you need to make a confident decision. Every assessment has a flat, upfront price and a clearly defined deliverable — no ranges, no surprise charges, and no vague pass/fail result. If a test runs long due to well conditions, I stay until the job is done.

Buying, selling, or refinancing with a VA, FHA, or USDA loan? These transactions often call for well flow and water testing on private wells — I provide the performance testing and lab water analysis these loans typically require, with fast, clean documentation.

Travel: calculated by actual drive time from Cheney, WA — not mileage — so pricing stays simple, predictable, and fair.

Know what to expect

A performance test runs the pump under sustained load to reveal any pre-existing weaknesses, so a signed Release & Hold Harmless is required before testing. Preview the exact forms I use so there are no surprises on test day.

Well performance testing measures the well and pump system. It is not a water-quality or potability test (see Water Quality Testing above) and is not a substitute for a licensed well driller or pump contractor where repairs or a regulatory certification are required.

New Construction

Phase & Warranty Inspections

Protect buyers during the build process and catch issues before they are covered or buried. Skilled labor is hard to find — just because it is new does not mean it is done right.

$250

Phase 1 — Footings & Foundation

Verify the foundation is done right before it is buried and impossible to see.

$250

Phase 2 — Pre-Drywall

Inspect framing, nail plates, and penetrations while everything is still exposed.

$450

Final Walkthrough

A complete inspection before you take the keys — because “new” does not always mean “done.”

Pre-Close Inspections

New homes have issues too. A pre-close inspection verifies workmanship before you sign, so problems are the builder's responsibility — not yours.

11-Month Warranty Inspections

Homes settle and sag the most after a build. Before your builder's one-year warranty expires, I document popped fasteners, loose shingles, cracked caulking, and more — issues the builder has to fix but may not tell you about.

Detailed component inspection
For Sellers

Pre-Listing Inspection

For sellers who want clarity before listing. Knowing the condition of your home up front reduces surprises, renegotiations, and time on the market — and creates clean, confident disclosure.

Certifications

Manufactured Home Foundation Certifications

Manufactured home purchases and refinances often require a permanent foundation certification. I inspect the foundation system against HUD and FHA guidelines and provide the documentation lenders need.

Quick response matters. Banks can take a while, so the sooner the better. Using me for this service alleviates friction and bottlenecks — reducing timelines and stress.

Deal Protection

Appraisal Discrepancy Verification

A bad appraisal can stall or kill a transaction or refinance. Appraisers cannot touch roofs, decks, or many structural elements — I can. I verify the roof, deck, structural components, moisture concerns, and safety items, then provide a full rebuttal report lenders can use.

  • Recover valuation or avoid unnecessary repair demands
  • Reduce renegotiation time and uncertainty
  • Clarity, neutral documentation, and deal stability
