Think of CMI certification as the difference between a general practitioner and a board-certified specialist. To earn this distinction, inspectors must pass comprehensive examinations, complete thousands of inspections with proven track records, and commit to continuous education that keeps them ahead of evolving construction standards and safety codes.
When you hire a CMI, you're not getting someone who barely met minimum requirements—you're getting someone who voluntarily pursued the highest standard because excellence matters. Less than 1% of inspectors achieve this level.

FAQs

In the Flint and Mid-Michigan area, a standard home inspection typically runs between $350 and $550 depending on square footage, age, and crawlspace access. Specialty services like radon testing, mold testing, sewer scope, and water quality testing are priced separately. Contact us for an exact quote on your property.
A full inspection covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, attic, insulation, foundation, and all major systems — with thermal imaging included on every inspection. You'll receive a detailed digital report with photos, notes, and recommended next steps, typically same-day to 24 hours.
A lot of housing stock in Flint and Genesee County was built between 1920 and 1960, so we pay extra attention to knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized and lead supply plumbing, aging boilers and gravity furnaces, roof age and ice-dam damage, basement moisture and foundation cracks, and the condition of original windows. These are the issues most likely to show up on an older Michigan home.
Most Michigan home inspections take 2–3 hours on site, depending on square footage, age, and how much of the crawlspace, attic, and roof is accessible. Larger homes or homes with extensive outbuildings can take longer.
FHA and VA lenders require an appraisal, not a separate inspection — but we strongly recommend a full inspection anyway. The appraisal confirms value; the inspection tells you what's wrong. For manufactured homes financed with FHA or VA, we also provide HUD foundation certification through our partnership with Noble Engineering.
Yes. The EPA places most of Lower Michigan — including Genesee, Lapeer, Shiawassee, and Oakland Counties — in moderate-to-elevated radon zones, and many Flint-area homes have tested above the 4 pCi/L action level. A short-term test during your inspection window is the cheapest way to find out where your home stands before closing.
Yes — we inspect all accessible areas, and for tight, restricted, or unsafe crawlspaces we use drone-assisted inspection so nothing gets skipped. Roofs are walked when safe; when they aren't, we use drone and thermal imaging from ground level.
Same-day to 24-hour digital report delivery is guaranteed on every inspection. Reports include photos, color-coded priorities, and recommendations you can forward directly to your agent or contractor.
You don't have to be, but we strongly recommend it — especially for the last 30-45 minutes. Walking the home with Mike lets us explain findings in context, show you how systems work, and answer questions before the report ever arrives.
We inspect homes in Genesee, Lapeer, Shiawassee, Saginaw, and Oakland Counties, including Flint, Grand Blanc, Fenton, Burton, Davison, Flushing, Swartz Creek, Lapeer, Owosso, and the surrounding Mid-Michigan area. If you're unsure whether we cover your town, just call — we often can.
A buyer's inspection is ordered by the buyer after their offer is accepted. A pre-listing inspection is ordered by the seller before the home goes on market, so surprises don't derail the deal later. Both use the same inspection scope — the difference is who sees the report first and who gets to address the issues.
Yes. Sewer scope inspection is strongly recommended on any home built before 1985 or with mature trees on the lot — clay and Orangeburg lines in the Flint area are prone to root intrusion and collapse. We also offer lab-certified water quality testing for bacteria, lead, arsenic, and nitrates, which is critical on well water and in older neighborhoods with original supply plumbing.
