NPI professionals are trained to perform an unbiased, visual home or commercial property inspection. The inspectors assess the home or commercial building from roof to foundation to identify safety issues and describe the current conditions on the property. Your inspector will walk you step-by-step through significant findings. Following the inspection, you will receive an easy-to-read, thorough report for your records. This can assist you in purchase negotiations, warranty repairs or when making future maintenance decisions.

We encourage you to allow time to attend at least the final portion of the inspection. This allows us to walk through the home with you, pointing out findings and explaining elements of the report. Following is a short description of some of our inspection services:

• Consumer Safety Inspections
  Do you know what is in your home?
  
• Homebuyer’s pre-closing inspections
  Sometimes referred to as a "general home inspection," these are booked prior to closing on either brand new or existing housing. The inspection covers hundreds of components in the home and includes a written report clearly outlining safety concerns and the current condition of the home. The report gives buyers the information they need to make the best decision and prepare for future maintenance.   

• EDR CERTIFIED
  No one wants surprises - Whether you are buying or selling a home—or both—you are likely to have a thorough home inspection before you make any decisions. Most people are familiar with termites, lead paint and wet basements. But what about “environmental hazards”?
  
  Recent statistics show that there are over a half a million leaking underground storage tanks nationwide. Leaking storage tanks are just one example of an environmental condition that can affect your family’s health and your investment—which is why there is a growing demand by consumers for more in-depth information about environmental conditions in and around a home.
  
  The EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report identifies potential risks such as leaking underground tanks, landfills, and toxic waste sites on or near a property. The report is delivered in an accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-understand summary, and is available to you because we are your local EDR-Certified home inspector.
  
  If you are buying a home: Protect your family and investment.
  If you are selling a home: Showing that your home has a “clean” record is a valuable selling feature.

• Homeseller’s pre-listing inspections
  A general home inspection completed prior to listing or selling the home to give current owners an idea of maintenance items to address. A pre-listing inspection also helps inspire confidence in prospective buyers regarding the condition of the home and reduce time spent in contract negotiation because an unbiased, independent inspector has reviewed all major systems.
  
• New construction phase/draw inspections
  These inspections are completed for home owners or construction lenders during the construction process. NPI inspects the home at various stages in the building process as part of the quality assurance checks or to allow for the release of the next phase of funding. Timing and reports for these inspections are customized to fit the needs of the client.
  
• Commercial building inspections
  Many times commercial buyers will purchase property unseen. A property inspection helps determine the current condition and potential maintenance or safety issues. NPI can provide formal bidding documents or a one-on-one approach. Our typical commercial inspections are in general accordance with ASTM E 2018 standards. Following the inspection, NPI will provide a written report, complete with photos, documenting all major building systems, components and conditions.
  
• New home builder’s warranty inspections
  Most brand-new home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builder’s Warranty. Ordering an inspection before the warranty expires gives the homeowner a professionally-prepared report to go over with the builder addressing possible issues. If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home.
  
• Employee relocation home inspections
  Time is generally of the essence when a family is relocated for business purposes. Prior to beginning negotiations for purchase of a home, relocation companies generally order a home inspection to determine the need for repair and maintenance.
