We provide Residential Home Inspections, Mold Testing, Pre-Listing Inspections, Home Shopping Consultations, Radon Testing, Garage Safety, Wood Destroying Organisms and even Kids Room Monster Free Certifications! When you call for an appointment, you’ll speak directly with the owner Norman Vogel a certified home inspection specialist.

With this knowledge, we will compile a comprehensive, modern report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of our findings.
