Our Services
Inspections can help you buy or sell your home or building with confidence. As trained professionals we have seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs. Buyers can make informed decisions and better understand what they are buying. Our inspection services include:
Buyers Inspection
In both new and older properties, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about their strengths and weaknesses is to have a professional inspection done by Progressive Building Inspections, Inc. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Sellers Inspection
Whether you are selling your property on your own or using a realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All properties have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are, which problems must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Home Owners Inspection
A home may be one of your largest investments. Protect your investment and enjoy your home in comfort by having a professional home inspection. We can identify problems and give you specific advice for your home so that you can plan and budget for repairs and maintenance. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems.
If suspected or found, we recommend you obtain an expert to mitigate these hazards:
- Lead: Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes.
In general, the older a home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. See Lead FAQ.
- Mold: There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens and irritants. See Mold FAQ.
- Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive
gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S. Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes,
sometimes to very high concentrations. See Radon FAQ.
NOTE: We are specially-trained Licensed Radon Measurement Professionals
- Termites or other wood-destroying organisms: These pests cause serious damage to wooden structures and posts and can also attack stored food, household furniture, and books. See Termite Facts.
