Pre-Listing Inspection
Find out what a buyer's inspector is likely to find before your home hits the market. Knowing early gives you time to make repairs on your schedule, price with confidence, and avoid surprises during escrow.

- Thermal scan for signs of moisture
- Prioritized repair checklist
- Full report you can share with buyers

Maintenance Health Audit
A checkup for a home you already own or manage. We catch wear and moisture issues early, before they become expensive failures, and give you a long-term roadmap for what to watch and what to plan for.
Best for: homeowners, rental owners, and property managers who want to protect their investment and stay ahead of repairs.
