Raising the Bar for Home Inspections
Clear communication, detailed reporting, and genuine care; that’s the Handy Home standard.
There’s a moment after every inspection where the questions start rolling in: “What did that mean?” or “Should I be worried about this?” With Handy Home Inspection, you don’t have to wait until you’re in the car to find clarity. We take the time to explain everything while we’re there, in plain, easy-to-understand language, so you feel confident before we even hand over your report.
Our inspections are built on communication and care. We slow down when others rush. We point out what truly matters instead of overwhelming you with technical terms. And when your report arrives, it’s more than a summary; it’s a visual story of your home, packed with photos, context, and actionable guidance you can use.
We’re also known for our responsiveness and professionalism, and that starts long before the inspections do. From your initial call to your final report, you’ll always know what’s happening, who you’re working with, and when to expect results. We’re here to make the process easy, educational, and just a little more human.

A sewer scope inspection gives you a clear look inside one of your home’s most important (and often most overlooked) systems. Using a specialized camera, we inspect the sewer line that connects your home to the main city line or septic system. This process helps identify issues like blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe deterioration that can’t be seen during a standard home inspection.
You’ll receive a straightforward summary of what we find. It’s a simple add-on that can help you avoid costly repairs and unexpected plumbing headaches later on, especially in older homes or properties surrounded by mature trees.
Most home inspections take around two to three hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger properties or older houses with more unique features may take a bit longer, but we never rush the process.
During the inspection, we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing, explain our findings in everyday language, and encourage you to ask questions along the way.
Finding issues isn’t a bad thing, and is actually one of the most valuable parts of the inspection. Every home, even brand-new ones, has a few quirks or maintenance needs. If we find something concerning, we’ll clearly explain what it means, how serious it is, and what your next steps should be.
Our reports are packed with photos, detailed notes, and easy-to-follow guidance to help you prioritize repairs or negotiate with confidence. We’re here to make sure you understand every detail, not to overwhelm you with them. When you leave your inspection, you’ll know exactly where your home stands and what to do next.
