Owning a home shouldn’t feel like a gamble.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or already living in it, nobody else has a reason to tell you what’s wrong with your home. The seller wants to close. The contractor wants the job.

That’s my job: a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

What I inspect

A clear look at the whole house.

Also available: commercial, mold, air quality, insurance inspections, foundation certifications and termite.

Asphalt shingle roof photographed while walking it
Walked, not viewed from the driveway.

Outside

I walk the roof when it is safe to, not just look at it from the driveway, then work my way around every wall, window, and door.

  • Roof
  • Siding
  • Windows
  • Doors
  • Decks & porches
Attic trusses, roof decking, and ductwork
R-19 insulation found. The report recommended more.

Structure

The bones of the house. I go up into the attic and down into the crawlspace to see what most buyers never will.

  • Foundation
  • Framing
  • Bearing walls
  • Beams
  • Posts
Thermometer measuring air temperature at an HVAC vent
50° supply, 69° return: a healthy 19° split.

Systems

I measure instead of guessing: supply and return air temperatures, water pressure, and every outlet I can reach.

  • Heating
  • Cooling
  • Insulation
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
Electric range with all burners and the oven heating during a test
Every element heated. No anti-tip bracket, a safety standard since 1991.

Every room, and every built-in appliance actually run and tested, not just looked at.

See what I see

Real findings from real inspections.

A house can look fine on a walkthrough. Here’s what shows up when you actually look.

Wiring inside an opened outlet box during a home inspection

DRYWALL

The paperwork said it was fixed.

A 2013 permit showed the home’s defective drywall had been replaced. Troy opened the outlets anyway and still found signs of it.

Breaker panel with an open slot in the cover

ELECTRICAL

Open slots next to live breakers.

Gaps in the breaker panel cover left live parts exposed. The report flagged it as an electrocution hazard.

Moisture meter testing a stained ceiling

MOISTURE

Tested, not guessed.

Stains over the garage door. Troy tested them, found them dry, and checked the attic above for a source. The report says to monitor it, not panic.

Every finding goes into your report, color-coded by how serious it is, in your inbox within 24 hours.

One inspector. Every inspection.

I do every inspection myself. You’re not getting whoever’s available that day. You’re getting me, at your house, in your attic and your crawlspace.

Troy did a very good job at our inspection, left no stone unturned and incredibly professional. He was easy to get ahold of and book and quick on the return of our property report. I love the color coding in his report. Made it very easy to understand what was ok and what needed our attention.

Troy was able to book my appointment last minute… he was able to find many more things than I would have if I had not hired an inspection. The report was thorough and methodical with good pictures. He delivered the report quickly so I could review under my inspection period time.

I needed it done quickly… Troy was very responsive, returning my call promptly. I gave him the required information and he took care of the rest with my builder… It really saved me time and concern, since he did a thorough job on the inspection.

Sample Clearvision report page documenting siding findings

ā€œ

Troy is my ‘go to’ inspector not only for my own personal property, but for all of my real estate clients… He just pointed out which things my current client needed to address right away, and others that could be put off due to budget. She was so impressed by that, that she called me to tell me about it.
