Why Choose Michael Hancock & Associates
Most home inspectors check the basics. We go further. With specialty services including air quality testing, radon measurement, and mold sampling, Michael Hancock & Associates is equipped to evaluate every aspect of a property — not just what’s visible on the surface.
What We Offer
Comprehensive evaluations covering every major system — from the foundation up.
Full interior and exterior evaluation covering all major systems — roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, insulation, and structure. Detailed photo-documented reports delivered promptly.
Indoor air quality can impact your family’s health in ways you can’t see. Our air quality testing identifies pollutants, allergens, and contaminants so you know exactly what you’re breathing.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. We provide certified radon testing to ensure your home’s air is safe — a critical step for any home purchase.
Mold can hide behind walls, under flooring, and in crawl spaces. Our mold sampling identifies growth that could impact both your health and your home’s value before it becomes a major problem.
Detailed roof condition assessments, full electrical panel and wiring evaluations, and complete HVAC system testing — flagging safety hazards and costly repairs before you close.
A thorough structural evaluation identifying settlement, cracking, moisture intrusion, and load-bearing concerns — giving buyers and sellers critical leverage and lasting peace of mind.
