Whether you're purchasing, selling, or maintaining your home, we provide thorough inspections to ensure peace of mind.
Our services
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions—make it with confidence. Our pre-purchase inspection process is designed to ensure every key component of the property is thoroughly examined. From testing doors and windows to inspecting roofing materials, air-conditioning, and heating systems, we leave no stone unturned.
We check plumbing fixtures by filling sinks and tubs, running showers, and flushing toilets to verify proper operation. As we assess each element, we document the condition and functionality in detail. At the end of the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report to help you make an informed decision and negotiate effectively.
Let us help you uncover the hidden details so you can move forward with peace of mind.
New Construction Home Inspection
Ensure your new home is move-in ready with a professional inspection before your final walkthrough. At Smart Start Home Inspections, we examine your newly built property thoroughly, giving you peace of mind before handing over the keys.
Here’s what you need to know:
Inspections are performed at the completion of construction but before your walkthrough with the builder’s Customer Service Representative or Superintendent.
Verify that utilities (gas, water, and electricity) are turned on—either by you or the builder—based on their policy.
Schedule your inspection one to two days prior to your walkthrough. This timing ensures most last-minute construction tasks have been completed before the inspection.
Following the inspection, we’ll provide a detailed report so you can address any issues with confidence. Trust us to help you step into your new home with certainty and satisfaction.
Warranty Inspection
Ensure your home meets high standards with a thorough warranty inspection during the 11th month of your 1-year Builder Warranty. At Smart Start Home Inspections, we help you verify that proper building techniques were used and all key components of your home were installed correctly.
Our inspection includes:
A comprehensive evaluation of your home’s construction and installation practices.
Digital photos of inaccessible areas, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
At the end of the process, you’ll receive a detailed report, making it easy to address any issues with your builder before the warranty expires. Take control of your homeownership journey and protect your investment with a warranty inspection you can rely on.
Lead Inspection
Before purchasing, renting, or renovating a home, identifying potential sources of lead exposure is crucial for safety and compliance. A professional lead inspection involves a detailed surface-by-surface investigation to determine the presence and location of lead-based paint.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Your home might look fantastic, but hidden technical, safety, or functional issues could surprise potential buyers. A pre-listing inspection allows you to identify and address these concerns before putting your property on the market. By repairing problem areas in advance, you can improve your chances of a smooth, successful sale.
If repairs aren’t financially feasible, disclosing any issues upfront and pricing your home accordingly can build trust and eliminate last-minute negotiations. Take control of your listing and ensure a seamless selling process with a professional pre-listing inspection.
Multi-Family Home Inspection
Investing in multi-family properties is a smart move—but ensuring their condition before and during ownership is vital for long-term success. At Smart Start Home Inspections, we specialize in multi-family home inspections tailored to meet your needs.
Pre-Purchase Inspections: Know what you're buying. We identify defects and provide detailed reports, helping you negotiate repairs or price adjustments so you can step into ownership with confidence.
Periodic Inspections: Protect your investment. Regular checkups on properties in your portfolio uncover issues often overlooked during a long-term tenant’s stay. Early identification of needed repairs—whether due to neglect or damage—keeps your property profitable and stress-free.
Let us help you stay ahead of the curve and make the most of your investments.

Radon Inspection
Radon is a silent threat—it’s an invisible, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that can put your family’s health at risk. As the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause overall in the U.S., radon testing is not just recommended—it’s essential. Both the U.S. Surgeon General and the EPA urge homeowners to test for radon in their properties.
At Smart Start Home Inspections, we’re certified professionals equipped to help you detect this hidden danger. Having completed the Radon Measurement Operator Proficiency course, we utilize advanced electronic measuring devices placed in your home’s lowest level for 48 hours. Once the test is complete, you’ll receive clear, accurate results to ensure your peace of mind.
