Resale Inspections
Our certified inspectors evaluate existing homes for potential buyers, identifying structural, mechanical, and safety issues. We examine roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC, providing detailed reports to inform purchasing decisions. With over 30,000 completed inspections, we help clients understand property conditions before closing.
New Homes
We inspect newly constructed homes before final walkthroughs, ensuring all systems function properly and cosmetic issues are addressed. Our team identifies incomplete installations or code violations, marking imperfections with blue tape for easy builder corrections. This service helps protect buyers' investments before warranty periods begin.
Warranty Inspections
Conducted before builder warranties expire, these inspections identify defects needing repair. Our S.A.F.E. process educates clients about property systems while facilitating builder communication. This service ensures warranty-covered issues are addressed before responsibility transfers to homeowners.
Pre-Drywall
Performed after city inspections but before drywall installation, this service examines framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins. We identify structural issues, improper installations, or code violations while systems remain accessible. Early detection prevents costly repairs after construction progresses.
Commercial Inspections
We assess commercial properties including warehouses, office spaces, and multi-unit residences. Our inspectors with construction backgrounds identify structural, mechanical, and safety concerns, delivering descriptive reports with photos. Custom pricing ensures clients only pay for relevant inspection services.

Champ gave us a thorough inspection which saved us from buying a money pit of a house. They answered all of our questions and made sure they explained the issues clearly and succinctly.

Jim Champ is all of the above adjectives in my opinion. I contracted them to inspect my new home, it was a valued decision since several findings will save me money on my HVAC bill. Horror stories from my neighbors justified my decision to call Jim who was recommended by another neighbor who is a Realtor.

Very satisfied with choosing them for my inspection. They responded super quick and scheduled the inspection 2 days in advance. Their pricing is extremely competitive. I got the report 24 hours later and I feel really empowered as a first time buyer in this crazy housing market.

Champ Home Inspections are the best home inspection service I've ever used! Erik was very detailed and walked us through each issue he found and answering any questions we had along the way. He was great! They are so kind and professional! Very responsive-they reached out even on a Sunday and we're so helpful to meet our due diligence time frame. If you need a home inspection this is the place to call!
