Home & Commercial Inspections

Certified ASHI Inspectors | Kalispell & Northwest Montana

Protect your biggest investment with a thorough, independent inspection from experienced professionals.

All inspections are performed by Actual Accredited Certified ASHI Inspectors (not just members) (American Society of Home Inspectors). We deliver a comprehensive, customized analysis of the visible and accessible areas of the home — designed specifically for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.

Our reports go far beyond a simple checklist. You receive a detailed, computer-generated document (typically 30–45 pages covering 25+ sections) that clearly explains the condition, materials, and construction quality of the property. This helps both buyers and sellers understand the home’s true condition and can reduce the risk of post-sale surprises or disputes.

We have completed more than 13,000 inspection reports.

What Your Inspection Covers

and signs of fungal growth.

Foundation type and condition, settlement, cracks, drainage, floor joists, supports,
insulation, moisture, ventilation, and evidence of pests or fungal growth.

Room-by-Room Evaluation
A complete walk-through of each room for visible issues.

Note: This is a visual inspection of accessible areas only. It is not a structural engineering report or a code-compliance inspection. We reference the International Residential Code (IRC) for context only.

Mold & Fungal Growth (Visual Only)

We perform a visual check for fungal growth in accessible areas. Mold can pose health risks and typically thrives where moisture is present.

For quantitative testing or a more detailed mold assessment, we offer accredited certified mold inspection services (ACAC Certified). See our Mold Investigation page for details.
