It is the one system nobody has priced
By the time a chimney shows up as an issue in a transaction, both sides usually know something is wrong and neither knows what it costs. A cracked flue liner and a loose cap are separated by a factor of forty in price, and the general inspection report almost never distinguishes between them.
We write reports that both sides can read. Findings, photographs, and a quote for the work if any is needed. We are not trying to kill your deal and we are not trying to talk you past a problem.
You are also free to take our report and have the repair done by anyone. Plenty of people do, and we would rather the findings be trusted.
How a transaction inspection works with us
You call with the date
Tell us the contingency deadline first. Everything else works backward from it.
We inspect on site
Exterior, roof level, firebox, and a full camera scan of every flue in the stack.
Findings the same day where possible
If there is something that changes the picture, you hear about it before the written report lands.
Written report with photographs
Condition, findings, and clear statements of what is safe to use and what is not.
Repair quote if needed
Priced properly, so it can go on the table as a real number rather than an estimate someone guessed at.
Available for questions
Agents and attorneys call us about our reports and we take those calls.
Beyond the transaction

Level 1 annual checks and Level 2 inspections for sales, appliance changes and insurance claims.

My home inspector already looked at the chimney. Is that enough?
It is a start, and it is not the same thing. General home inspectors are not required to scan the flue internally and most do not carry the camera. Their scope sits closer to a Level 1, while a property transfer calls for a Level 2.
How fast can you turn around a report?
We understand what an inspection contingency deadline means and we schedule around them. Call and tell us the date you are working to.
I am selling. Should I inspect before listing?
It puts you in control. Finding out about a cracked flue on your own schedule is far better than finding out during someone else's inspection period, when it becomes a negotiating lever.
