My inspection reports are detailed.  I make recommendations for items needing repair, routine maintenance, safety concerns and typical upgrades.  I also identify areas of concern that require further professional evaluation.  My inspection reports include digital captioned pictures, line drawing schematics, video clips, functional links to pertinent information on the web, maintenance advice and information about radon, carbon monoxide and other matters that pertain to a particular property.
