Stafford County inspections, answered straight

Do you inspect and test homes across all of Stafford County?

Yes. We cover the towns and unincorporated areas within Stafford County for home inspection, radon testing, mold testing and air quality testing. If your address falls within the county, we can typically schedule an inspection there. If you are near a county line, tell us your exact address so we can confirm coverage before you book.

Does it matter how old my home is in Stafford County?

It changes what we focus on. Older homes are more likely to have additions, updated electrical panels or plumbing that was changed over time, so we check that work against what standard practice would expect. Newer homes shift the focus toward grading, drainage and how the site was built up around the foundation.

Can I get radon, mold and air quality testing done at the same visit?

In many cases yes, depending on the property and what you are trying to confirm. Radon and air quality testing both require specific placement and timing, and mold testing depends on whether there are visible concerns or a specific area to check. Tell us what you need when you request service and we will confirm what can be combined for your address.

Will you tell me if an addition or renovation was permitted?

We report what we observe about the work itself, such as whether framing, electrical or plumbing looks consistent with standard practice. We do not pull permit records as part of the inspection, but we will point out where a permit is worth confirming with the county before you rely on the work.
