What Services We Offer
Buyers Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Homeowners want to make repairs to their house before they put it on the market and will make repairs using their inspection report as a baseline reference. Please understand that most buyers will still want to perform their own inspection even if the seller has already had an inspection done.
Thermal Imaging
The purpose of an infrared scan is to find issues that may not be visible to the naked eye and catch them before they become a major problem. With the use of our infrared camera, we can help identify moisture, insulation, electrical, HVAC issues, and more.
11-Month Warranty Inspections
An 11-month warranty inspection can help you identify any issues or defects before the builder's warranty expires, potentially saving you from costly repairs down the road. The city or county inspectors often don’t catch everything, but we’ve been trained to have a keen eye for anything that could compromise a new home’s lifetime or safety.
New Build Bundle
Get comprehensive peace of mind for your new construction with three key inspections - pre-drywall, pre-closing, and 11-month warranty - all bundled for one convenient price. Three inspections, one stress-free journey to your dream home.
HUD and FHA Engineering Certification
HUD and FHA lender requirements mandate that a manufactured home must have an engineering certification that the foundation is permanent and meets federal requirements. We survey the home’s foundation and gather the required information and we electronically submit it to Hayman Engineering’s professional engineers for determination.
Termite Inspections
Termites can go unnoticed until they cause catastrophic damage to your home. Whether you’re shopping for a home and suspect a termite issue, or you think your current home may be affected by termites, we can provide you with comprehensive testing, and help you understand your options for termite remediation if we do discover an infestation. Termite inspections are performed under Strike Force Pest and Termite Control. AZ License #5440.
Pool & Spa Inspections
Our inspection process includes a thorough visual examination of the equipment and components of the system. We will provide you with a comprehensive report including photos and recommendations for repair or replacement if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
What can I expect from a home inspection?
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
How can I prepare for a home inspection?
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
Can a house fail a home inspection?
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
Can I skip the home inspection?
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
Can a home inspector make repairs?
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
How do home inspections affect appraisals?
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, the buyer must be willing to pay for those repairs.
Does the seller’s pre-listing inspections qualify for the buy back guarantee?
Yes. And the Guarantee automatically transfers to the new buyer. The Guarantee goes with the home, not the occupant or owner, so it is perfect for pre-listing inspections. And, best of all, the 90 days starts at closing, not the day of the inspection. So, there is no rush.
