Old Homes
There are a great many homes in Southeastern PA that have reached their centennial age. Some are much older. These homes are beautifully built and often well maintained, sometimes as a requirement of historic districts. Some are not and require a trained eye to decipher what is "character" and what is defect. Old homes are unique, built before modern day building codes, and require a specific knowledge of methods of construction and an eye for materials that are no longer being used and sometimes may be unsafe. Not only do we specialize in these homes, we enjoy inspecting them!
Virtual Inspections
Originally started at the onset of Covid-19, we have continued the offer to virtually inspect your property if you do not wish or can not attend the inspection. Using an app on your phone you can interactively follow along with the inspection live while it's being completed or watch the inspection video clips whenever it's convenient for you.

Our Services
Our Promise
Pre-offer Consultations "Walk and Talks"
The current housing market is difficult for buyers. The process of finding a home, placing a bid, and losing it to other buyers can happen more easily now than in recent years. A home inspection is ALWAYS the best way to go even if for information purposes only. But if you're absolutely certain that your offer will not be accepted if you do not waive inspections we have another option that may help. For a reduced fee, we can come with you when you visit the home on a showing and can provide useful and accurately directed assistance by quickly surveying the most important systems in the home so you can make a more informed choice about whether or not to place a bid. Just ask us about this and we can explain it further.
We employ the Standards and Practice of The American Society of Home Inspectors

Residential Home Inspections
Specializing in last minute inspections, we can help meet the deadline with full color photo-filled reports SAME DAY!
We inspect all systems of a home from roof to basement and offer you all the time you need to feel knowledgeable about each of them.
Radon Inspections
The EPA recommends that homeowners consider taking steps to reduce radon gas levels if the concentration is above 4.0 pCi per liter. We'll let you know with a two days test with professionally placed radon meters.
Wood Destroying Insects
Nobody wants the very foundation of their home threatened by annoying termites, carpenter bees, or ants. An inspection can help you reduce the risks and provide sensible ways to remediate this problem.
Water Quality Test
Have a well and you're not so sure about the bug cap or the UV light or filtration system? We can have the water tested for potability and decide where to go from there. No problem.
Other Tests or Inspections
If you have need of other inspections such as mold, stucco, well, or another type of inspection, simply ask us and we can arrange these for you. We are designed to be a one stop shop for all your needs.
