Residential Building Inspections

When inspecting homes, I follow the North Carolina Standards of Practice for licensed home inspectors. I assess all visible and accessible components of the home, including:

Roofing systems and attic spaces

Foundations, crawlspaces, and basements

HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems

Exterior siding, windows, doors, and trim

Interior walls, ceilings, floors, and built-in features

Decks, porches, stairs, and railings

​

I document safety hazards, structural concerns, moisture intrusion, pest activity, and any conditions that could affect the overall integrity, safety, or functionality of the home. I also evaluate built-in appliances and home systems for basic functionality, proper installation, and any visible defects that may pose safety risks or lead to costly repairs.

​

I pay close attention to ventilation, water quality issues, and HVAC performance, which are all tied directly to indoor air quality and occupant health. Improperly vented appliances, mold-prone areas, backdrafting gas systems, or leaking plumbing can contribute to respiratory issues, carbon monoxide risks, or long-term structural damage.

​

My reports include clear photos, straightforward explanations, and honest, actionable recommendations—so clients understand not only what’s wrong, but also why it matters and what steps to consider next.
