Pre-Closing Home Inspections for Home Buyers

Our Homebuyer’s Pre-Closing Inspections, often referred to as "general home inspections," are a pivotal step taken before closing the deal on a new or existing home. This comprehensive inspection includes hundreds of components within the property, culminating in a detailed computer-generated report. This report not only highlights safety concerns but also provides a clear snapshot of the home's current condition. Armed with this information, buyers can make well-informed decisions and prepare for future maintenance. If desired, we also offer Radon testing to ensure your peace of mind.

Radon Testing: Protecting Your Health and Home

Radon, a colorless and odorless gas stemming from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Both the U.S. Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency strongly advocate for testing radon levels in all homes. Our Radon Testing service is a quick and straightforward process that only takes a few minutes to set up in your home, with the actual testing lasting about 48 hours. The collected samples are then sent to a national lab for analysis, and you'll receive a final report that reveals the radon levels in your home.

New Construction Inspections

No home is perfect, including newly constructed homes. Northstar has vast experience inspecting new homes. This inspection occurs upon completion of construction and typically before your final walkthrough with the builder. Identifying strong areas of concern prior to taking possession of the home helps promote confidence and peace of mind in your investment.

Employee Relocation Home Inspections

For families relocating due to business commitments, time is often of the essence. Before initiating negotiations for a new home purchase, relocation companies frequently request our services for a comprehensive home inspection. This evaluation helps in ascertaining any need for repairs and maintenance, streamlining the relocation process and ensuring a seamless transition for all involved parties.

Home Seller's Pre-Listing Inspections: Confidence in Your Sale

A Homeseller's Pre-Listing Inspection is conducted prior to listing or selling a home, offering current owners a valuable preview of necessary repairs. Moreover, it instills confidence in potential buyers by showcasing the home's condition through the eyes of an unbiased, independent inspector. This proactive approach minimizes the time spent in contract negotiations, as all major systems have been reviewed comprehensively.

New Construction Draw Inspections: Managing Progress

Our New Construction Draw Inspections serve property owners and construction lenders during the construction process. These inspections determine the percentage of completion at various stages, ensuring that the appropriate funding is released to the contractor as construction advances. We customize the timing and reporting for these inspections to precisely align with your project's unique requirements.

New Home Builder's Warranty Inspections: Securing Your Investment

Most new home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builder's Warranty. Ordering an inspection before this warranty expires grants homeowners a professionally-prepared report for discussion with the builder, addressing potential issues. Even if no repairs are necessary, it offers peace of mind concerning the quality and integrity of your new home, safeguarding your valuable investment.
