What you get.
Live walk-through
You're invited to attend the inspection. We walk you through findings on-site, point out what matters, and answer questions in real time. The report is detailed but nothing replaces being there.
24-hour digital report
Photos, video clips, severity flags (Info / Maintenance / Major / Safety), and a built-in repair-request builder you can send to your agent or seller in one click.
FLIR thermal included
Hidden moisture, missing insulation, electrical hot spots — invisible to the naked eye, visible to thermal. Most competitors charge extra. We don't.
Drone roof imagery
Two-story Minnesota roofs with snow or steep pitch are dangerous to walk. FAA Part 107-licensed drone captures every shingle plane, valley, and chimney.
90-day buy-back guarantee
InterNACHI program: if we miss a defect that was visible at inspection time, the program buys the home back at full price. 90 days from closing.
InterNACHI Master Certified
The highest residential inspection credential in North America — held by less than 1% of inspectors. Continuing-education requirements every year.

A home inspection covers everything; a 4-point covers only roof/electrical/plumbing/HVAC for insurance underwriting. Buyers should always get a full home inspection.
