What We Offer

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make — and a thorough inspection gives you the facts you need before you sign. Based in Great Falls, we provide detailed, easy-to-understand inspections for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents throughout Cascade County, covering everything from the roof and foundation to electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

Every inspection includes a same-day digital report with clear photos and plain-language explanations — no jargon, no guesswork, just what you need to move forward with confidence.

  • A pre-purchase inspection gives you the full picture before you close. We conduct a thorough, top-to-bottom evaluation of the property — roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more — so you know exactly what you're buying and can negotiate repairs or price with confidence. You'll receive a detailed digital report with clear photos and plain-language explanations, typically within 24 hours.

  • A pre-listing inspection lets you get ahead of surprises before a buyer's inspector finds them. We'll identify any issues that could slow down a sale or spook a buyer, giving you the chance to make repairs, adjust your asking price, or simply market your home with documented confidence. It's one of the easiest ways to keep a deal from falling apart at the negotiating table.

  • New doesn't always mean flawless. Even brand-new homes can have overlooked framing issues, incomplete systems, or code violations that builders miss during their own walkthroughs. We inspect new construction at key phases — pre-drywall and final walkthrough — so problems get caught while they're still easy (and cheap) for the builder to fix, before your warranty clock starts ticking.

  • A 4-point inspection focuses on the four systems insurance companies care about most: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It's typically required for older homes or when securing homeowners insurance, and gives insurers the documentation they need to issue or renew a policy. Fast turnaround, straightforward reporting, built specifically to satisfy insurance requirements.

  • Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless gas that's a leading cause of lung cancer — and Montana homes are not immune. We use professional-grade monitors to measure radon levels in your home over a 48-hour period, giving you accurate results you can trust. Whether you're buying, selling, or just want peace of mind, radon testing is a small step that protects your family's long-term health.

  • If your property relies on a private well, water quality isn't something to guess about. We test for common contaminants — bacteria, nitrates, and other markers of drinking water safety — so you know exactly what's coming out of your tap. Essential for buyers evaluating a well-supplied property, and smart practice for current homeowners who haven't tested in a while.

FAQs

How long do inspections take?

1

Typical inspections take 4 hours total. First 3 hours are for the inspection (though dependent on square footage). The last hour is for the walk-through when client(s) are welcome to arrive. We review inspection findings and answer any questions.

Is radon a real concern?

2

Yes — Cascade County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-risk category, and the average indoor radon level in Montana is 5.9 pCi/L, with 60% of samples collected in Cascade County higher than the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. We encourage clients to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

Can inspections happen during the winter months?

3

Yes — inspections run year-round in Great Falls, including winter. A few conditions apply: air conditioning systems can't always be fully tested once temperatures drop below 65F, and heavy snow can occasionally limit roof access or visibility. We'll always note in your report if any system couldn't be fully evaluated due to weather, so you know exactly what was and wasn't covered.

How does Montana's freeze-thaw climate affect home inspections?

4

Great Falls' harsh winters and wide temperature swings are hard on roofs, foundations, and plumbing — frozen/burst pipes, foundation heaving, and ice-damaged shingles are common local findings.
