Gold Star Home Inspections

Giving Homebuyers and Realtors
the Gold Star of Approval

ASHI Certified

Residential and Commercial Inspections

Scheduling a home inspection is one of the most important decisions to make during the home-buying process. You’re not only buying that beautiful wrap-around porch, or original hardwood flooring-you may also be purchasing structural defects, faulty wiring, moisture intrusion, or other hidden problems. We’ve all been known to wear rose-colored glasses. Hire a professional for an unbiased assessment of your property.

Home inspections help buyers identify their home’s potential problems, avoiding costly fixes post-purchase. Gold Star Home Inspections is here to give you peace of mind that your dream home won’t become a nightmare.

Convenience

24 hour Turnaround For Inspection Reports

Buying a home will likely be one of the largest investments buyers will ever make. Our licensed inspector will investigate every inch of your home from top to bottom, providing you with valuable information about your property.

Reports are returned within 24 hours of completion, and we always recommend that our clients join us on our inspection walkthrough. We pride ourselves on quality and are happy to answer any questions you may have during the inspection. Frequently questions will arise that you may have forgotten to ask during the inspection; we are always available post-inspection to answer any of your concerns.

We believe in the importance of being available on our client’s time. That’s why we are open seven days a week and available for evening appointments by request.

In addition to residential and commercial inspections, we offer radon testing and WDO/Termite inspections.

Radon Testing

Radon is a radioactive gas that has been known to cause cancer. It can be found in soil, rock, and water beneath the ground. It is invisible, cannot be smelled, and is impossible to detect without proper equipment. There are no short-term symptoms associated with radon exposure. Symptoms present themselves years down the road, leaving you wondering where things went wrong. Having your home tested by a certified professional is the only way to determine if radon is present on your property and to prevent health issues from arising.

If our inspection reveals radon levels to be too high for safe living conditions, we recommend that a radon mitigation system be installed to reduce the concentration levels. Standard radon reduction systems are effective within 24 hours and maintain low levels as long as fans are left operating.

WDO / Termite Inspections

Wood-destroying insects and organisms can cause serious damage to the structure of your home. This inexpensive inspection could save you thousands in structural damage, treatment, and prevention. In areas like New Jersey, where termites are active and widespread, inspecting and maintaining a termite prevention program is highly recommended.

At Gold Star Home Inspections, we offer WDO/Termite inspections in conjunction with your home inspection, saving you the hassle of calling separate companies and the time associated with double scheduling. Our certified inspector will perform all services and provide a detailed report on any existing organisms found inside or outside of your home. Our job isn’t to remedy any current infestations but to educate buyers and sellers on what we find. If termites and other wood-destroying organisms are located on your property, we can recommend trusted pest control companies in your area.
