01 / A DIFFERENT WAY HOME
First, a little curiosity.
Then, real clarity.
A fresh coat of paint tells one story. The records, the roof, and what’s under the yard might tell another.
We help you put the pieces together. Start with the public records. Understand what matters. Then let our inspectors take a closer look.
Connect the dots.
Understand which inspections are relevant to this property, with a plain-language reason for each.
Move forward.
Build your inspection, talk with a real person, and take your next step with confidence.
02 / LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
The whole house.Not just the
pretty parts.

A clearer picture of the place you’ll call home.
01 Under the yard +
The important things don’t always come with a view. Camera inspections and underground scans help us look beyond the lawn.
Sewer scope · Oil tank sweep · Ground-penetrating radar02 In the air +
Some concerns can’t be seen or smelled. Targeted testing helps explain what’s in the air inside a home.
Radon testing · Mold inspection · Indoor air quality03 Behind the finish +
Paint and finishes are only the beginning. We look for signs of wood-destroying insects and offer lead and asbestos services where relevant.
Termite inspection · Lead services · Asbestos sampling04 From roof to foundation +
Structure, roof, attic, plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling. We walk accessible roofs and enter accessible attics, with drones for roofs too steep to walk.

With every home inspection, these are part of the picture.
Termite inspection
A closer look for wood-destroying insects and the signs they leave behind.
Thermal imaging
Temperature patterns can point us toward areas that deserve a closer look.
Drone roof inspection
Another perspective on steep roofs and areas that are difficult to access.
03 / PEOPLE IN YOUR CORNER
We know houses.
We remember
they’re homes.
With a background in construction and structural repairs, our inspectors bring hands-on understanding to every visit. We explain what we see, why it matters, and what you can do next.

We’ve had many home inspections over the years. Smart Choice Inspections was the most thorough inspection we have ever had.

My go-to inspectors for all of my clients! They’re reliable, meticulous and fair. I trust them to take their time at properties, explain their findings and provide expert analyses for their clients.

I worked with Leo and asked him to review everything with me since I was out of my element with home buying. He explained everything in extensive detail and provided me a thorough report.

Knowledgeable and generous with his time, attention and ability to explain in very understandable terms. Strong insight on old houses: understanding the natural versus worrisome aspects.

This is the second time I used Brandon for my home inspection, oil tank sweep and radon tests. He explained all the issues with the home and provided advice on how to fix the issues.

Brandon is very professional and responsive. He walked through the entire process with us and patiently answered all the questions we had. The report also came in time.

Pricing is much better than other places. Great work, communication, and the turnaround time to receive my report was nothing.

These are the 3rd home inspectors I have worked with (3rd home purchase ever). These guys are by far the best.

This is what you get.
Every page of it.
Two complete reports from recent Smart Choice Inspections, exactly as the clients received them. Client names, addresses and report numbers are removed; everything else is untouched.
- The summary comes first: the issues that matter for cost and safety, with what they imply and what to do next.
- Every finding is photographed, with thermal images and moisture readings where they tell the story.
- Then section by section: roofing, exterior, structure, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, plumbing, interior.
