Residential Inspection Services

Know Every Corner of Your Next Home Before You Sign the Contract

Certified Master Inspector® Residential Inspections with thermal imaging, moisture testing, and clear photo reports.

Smart Homebuyers Start With a Thorough House Inspection

A home can look flawless during a showing, yet the problems that cost the most often hide in attics, crawlspaces, electrical panels, and roof lines. A professional house inspection brings those conditions into view while you still have options. Propertyexam’s Residential Inspection services cover the home from the foundation to the roof and explain what each finding means for your safety, your budget, and your plans. Objective facts help you request repairs, negotiate a credit, or move ahead with confidence. If the needed repairs do not fit your situation, that knowledge protects you from an expensive mistake and frees you to find a better match. Either way, you reach closing informed, prepared, and ready to preserve the value of your investment for years to come.

A Certified Home Inspector Who Knows How Homes Are Built

Owner and chief inspector Scott Harris brings decades of hands-on building knowledge to every residential inspection. Scott is a Certified Master Inspector®, a licensed home inspector, a general contractor, and a graduate engineer backed by 35+ years in the building and inspection trades and thousands of completed inspections. As the author of Commercial Property Maintenance and an international facility maintenance expert, he views each home through the lens of long-term care and value preservation. Homeowners receive the same depth and professionalism he brings to complex commercial projects.

What Your Residential Inspection Covers

A residential inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of a home’s accessible systems and components. Every Propertyexam visit goes beyond recognized standards of practice.

Structure and Exterior

Roof, flashings, chimney, gutters, siding, decks, grading, drainage, foundation, basement, and crawlspace.

Core Home Systems

Electrical service and panels, GFCI and AFCI protection, plumbing, water heater, and heating and cooling.

Interior and Safety

Insulation, ventilation, fireplaces, garage doors and safety sensors, plus safety advice for your household.

Inside Your Residential Inspections Report

Your Property Condition Report (PCR) lays out our observations and opinions on the property’s current condition. It’s the kind of report lenders look for when making loan decisions, and it helps owners plan well beyond the day of purchase.

Homes of Every Age, Style, and Size

Propertyexam inspects single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, manufactured homes, ranches, farms, and new builds. Whether the home is a century old or just completed, you get the same careful attention.

Floating Home Inspections

A floating home has much in common with a ship. Get a full infrared moisture scan and a marine-minded evaluation

Optional Testing Services

Add mold, radon, lead, asbestos, air quality, or water and well testing when conditions or your plans call for it.

Property Exam Corp (Scott Harris) was polite, responsive and punctual. The detailed and attentive property inspection was excellent. I am very glad I had Scott on my side. It was the best money I could have spent: to REALLY know what I was looking at.

Excellent service. Extremely professional, flexible, and thorough, but most importantly knowledgeable. Scott absolutely knows what he's looking at, what to keep an eye out for, and knows his stuff. Definitely goes above and beyond. Received the report just a few hours after the inspection, and what extremely detailed. Can't recommend his services enough!

I worked with Scott on a couple of projects related to a roof and a garage door installation. Scott was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and easy to schedule with. I really enjoyed working with him, and expect to work more with him in the future.
