Pre-Listing Inspections

Why not be proactive and schedule an inspection before you put your house on the market? Not only will this allow you to get ahead of a future buyer’s inspection, but it gives you time to find a reasonably-priced contractor to fix some defects before you list. It may also help you price your home realistically, avoid a delay in obtaining a use and occupancy permit, and alert you to immediate safety concerns before agents and visitors tour your home.

New Construction Inspections

A new home inspection, also known as a construction or phase inspection, is an invaluable service for anyone who wants to have a reliable, non-biased professional opinion about the quality and installation practices being utilized during the building process.

Investor Property Inspection

If you’re serious about buying a property for investment purposes, it makes sense to have it professionally inspected so you don’t face unexpected, and expensive surprises. With Cobblestone’s strong real estate and property management background, we know how to tailor an inspection to meet your needs and help you maximize the potential of your investment property. We’ll examine the roof, foundation, heating and air, plumbing, and electrical wiring and present any recommendations in a thorough, easy to understand digital report.

Winterization Service

Let’s face it, we get crazy snow in this region. Let us help you get ready for the first flakes with a winterization service. We’ll clean gutters, turn off and drain the hot water tank, and open up the valves just in case. As part of the service, we’ll come around and turn everything back on before you’re ready to return. Contact Cobblestone Inspections for more details.

Apartment Inspection

Before you sign a contract on a new apartment, you might want to document its condition, and protect your security deposit. A Cobblestone inspection will check to make sure such things as smoke detectors, electrical outlets, and thermostats are working properly, that walls are clean and carpets are in good condition, and that appliances and toilets are all operational.

Well Flow Testing

A well flow test will help determine if the well or its associated equipment such as the pump and storage tank are functioning as they should or if they require further evaluation. All visible components of the well system will be inspected, including the well head, the pressure (storage) tank, the piping and wiring, and the well pump.

Thermal Imaging

Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows the inspector to show homeowners things about their homes that can’t be revealed using conventional inspection methods. Ancillary inspection reports are just as important as the reports you generate for standard home inspections. For something as specialized as a thermal imaging inspection, it’s critical that the information you present meets your clients’ needs for information they can use and act on.

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that has the potential to be a dangerous health hazard if it goes undetected. The only way to determine if a home or building has a radon gas problem is through a professional radon test. Cobblestone has inspectors qualified to conduct radon testing.
