- A detailed, photo-filled report delivered within 24 hours
- Clear explanations of what’s working well, what needs attention, and what to plan for
- Responsive communication before, during, and after your inspection

A Handy Home inspection covers all the major systems and components that affect your home’s safety, function, and long-term value. We take a top-to-bottom approach that includes:
- Roof and Attic: shingles, flashing, insulation, and ventilation
- Foundation and Structure: cracks, moisture, and settling concerns
- Plumbing System: visible leaks, fixtures, and water pressure
- Electrical System: panels, outlets, and visible wiring
- HVAC System: heating, cooling, and ventilation performance
- Interior and Exterior: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors

If it’s part of your home, we look at it. Our job is to help you understand how everything works together and what to expect next.
Handy Home Inspection goes beyond the basics. Our certified inspectors take extra steps that most others skip, giving you a deeper, more accurate understanding of your home’s condition.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
- Friendly, Responsive Service: We communicate at every step so you know exactly what’s happening, what we’ve found, and what it means for you.
- We Walk the Roof: Instead of viewing the roof from the ground or a ladder, we get up there when it’s safe to do so. That means you get a real, hands-on look at your shingles, flashing, and ventilation — not a guess from 20 feet below.
- Advanced Thermal Imaging: We use infrared technology to detect hidden issues like insulation gaps, water leaks, or heat loss that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
- Environmental and Air Quality Checks: Our inspections can include testing for mold, radon, moisture, and even signs of termite damage, ensuring your home is as safe and healthy as it is beautiful.
- Detailed, Photo-Rich Reports: Every inspection comes with a digital report filled with clear explanations and visuals, delivered quickly and written in plain language you’ll actually understand.

Both inspections serve an important purpose, but they happen at different points in your homeownership journey.
- Home Inspection: Typically done before buying or selling a home, this inspection helps identify issues, safety concerns, and maintenance needs before closing. It’s about making an informed decision and avoiding unexpected costs.
- Home Warranty Inspection: Completed around 11 months after moving into a newly built home, this inspection focuses on uncovering defects or workmanship issues that are still covered under your builder’s warranty.
In short: a standard home inspection protects your purchase, while a warranty inspection protects your investment. Handy Home Inspection helps you make the most of both.
Home inspections and appraisals both play important roles in the home-buying process, but they serve very different purposes.
- Home Inspection: Typically done before buying or selling a home, this inspection helps identify issues, safety concerns, and maintenance needs before closing. It’s about making an informed decision and avoiding unexpected costs.
- Appraisal: An appraisal is an assessment of the home’s market value. Lenders require it to ensure the property is worth the amount being financed. It’s not about finding defects or issues; it’s purely about determining value for financial purposes.
In short, a standard home inspection protects your purchase, while an appraisal protects the lender by confirming the home’s value. Please note that Handy Home Inspections does not offer appraisal services.
A sewer scope uses a small camera to take a close look inside the home’s sewer line, something a standard home inspection can’t visually access. It reveals issues like corrosion, misaligned pipes, or buildup that could create future headaches.
By adding a sewer scope, you’re giving yourself an extra layer of protection. It’s a quick, effective way to spot hidden plumbing problems and avoid unexpected expenses after moving in.
