Buyers looking for a home inspector in Birmingham are usually weighing one of two houses: a 1920s Tudor or colonial in Quarton Lake or Poppleton Park, or a new build on a lot where an older house used to stand. House to Home Complete Structure Inspections has inspected Michigan homes since June 2000 and covers Birmingham from our Lapeer office.
Free thermal imaging is included on every inspection, and you get the report within an hour.
Inspection file · Birmingham, MI
Birmingham inspections from an InterNACHI certified Michigan LLC carrying E&O and liability insurance, inspecting since June 2000.
Plaster walls, slate and clay tile roofs, steam or hot water heat, and basements that were never meant to be finished. Birmingham's older neighborhoods are full of houses built between the 1920s and 1950s, and most have had several rounds of updates.
A Birmingham home inspector has to separate original work from later work. Our home inspection covers every system, and infrared shows moisture and missing insulation behind the plaster.
A slow leak at a slate valley or a bathroom over the kitchen can feed mold inside a plaster wall for years. Finished basements over old block foundations hide it too.
Our NAMP certified mold inspection uses lift tape, swab and spore trap air samples, with viable and non-viable lab analysis.
Birmingham has seen a steady stream of older houses torn down and replaced with larger new homes. New does not mean perfect: grading on narrow lots, missing insulation behind fresh drywall and flashing details all get missed.
Thermal imaging is especially useful on new construction, because it finds what the paint already covers.
The Rouge River winds through Birmingham and widens into Quarton Lake on the west side. Homes on the low ground near the river and the lake deserve a close look at basement walls and drainage.
Cracks, bowing block and water lines get a deeper review in our structure and foundation inspection.
Gut renovations bring new flooring, cabinets, paint and adhesives, and all of them give off gases for months.
Our indoor air quality testing includes VOC and TMVOC lab analysis, so you know what is in the air before you move in.
Downtown Birmingham's commercial buildings range from century-old brick storefronts on Old Woodward to newer mixed-use buildings with condos upstairs.
We perform commercial inspections on buildings up to 100,000 square feet.
Condos downtown and smaller homes in the east side neighborhoods draw buyers using VA and FHA financing.
Our VA and FHA compliant inspections also meet RD, USDA, MICHDA and HUD rules, including the VA NPMA-33 report.
