Included, not upsold
Whole-structure thermal imaging on every inspection.
Infrared finds what a flashlight misses: missing insulation, hidden moisture in ceilings and walls, and dangerous overheating at the electrical panel. Suspected leaks are confirmed with a moisture meter. This is included with every full inspection.
See what’s inspectedNew construction
Once the drywall goes up, you are buying what you cannot see.
A new house can look finished from the curb and still hide bad framing, pinched wires, a plumbing line that will leak, or ducts that will never move enough air. Pre-drywall is the short window when those cavities are still open — and when the builder can still correct the work without tearing the house apart.
- Framing, wiring, plumbing, and HVAC while you can still see them
- Photos and a report you can hand the builder before the walls close
- An inspector who works for you, not the builder

Service spotlight
Air quality and mold testing for humid coastal homes.
Humid Eastern NC hides mold and particulates in homes that look fine. Independent sampling, accredited lab analysis, and a clear PDF — Cody does not remediate, so there is no incentive to oversell.

Questions
Before you book
- How much does a home inspection cost in Jacksonville?
- There isn’t one flat price. It depends on the size and age of the house, and on add-ons such as a pool, well, or mold test. You get the price before you book.
- What is included?
- Structure, roof, attic, crawlspace, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Thermal imaging is included with a full inspection, not added on later.
- What is a pre-drywall inspection?
- A visit while the walls are still open, so framing, wiring, plumbing, and ducts can be seen before the drywall goes up.
- How fast is the report?
- Same day or next day, in a Spectora report you can send to your agent.
- Where do you inspect?
- Swansboro, Jacksonville, Hubert, Newport, the coast, and the rest of Eastern North Carolina.
