Our inspection process
We discuss the property and your concerns before the inspection, including any areas you want us to pay special attention to.
We thoroughly evaluate the home’s major systems and components, from the roof and foundation to plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more.
We look for defects, safety concerns, signs of wear, improper installation, and conditions that may require repair or further evaluation.
We walk you through the major findings, answer your questions, and help you understand which items deserve the most attention.
You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-read digital report with photos, descriptions, and recommendations, within 24 hours.

A home inspection should do more than identify defects. At CK Inspections, we take the time to explain our findings, answer your questions, and help you understand what matters now and what may need attention in the future. Thermal imaging is included with every home inspection at no additional cost, helping us identify potential issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection.
