Whether you are the prospective home buyer, the home seller, or a homeowner, you will receive the same inspection report.
Reports are easy to read, well-written, and well-organized with labeled photos.
A typical home inspection report may contain 200-400 photos, or sometimes more.
A radon test is recommended for real estate transactions, after home renovations, or for homeowner knowledge.
Radon is invisible and odorless and radon testing is needed to determine the radon level inside the home.
The radon test can be done with a home inspection or as a separate individual service.
