Since 1957, we have provided our customers with the most complete home inspection services available. The systems established by Criterium Engineers have continually set the standard for quality home inspections.

Unlike other home inspection services, all Criterium's inspections are conducted by licensed Professional Engineers (P.E.s) and similarly qualified Registered Architects. In most states, only licensed P.E.s can legally comment on the structural integrity of a building. As a result, Criterium can provide you with a level of accountability, professionalism, and value that sets us apart in the home inspection industry.

Standard Home Inspection:

Criterium Engineers Standard Home Inspection is a limited visual inspection consistent with the standards of practice of the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIE), designed to identify significant deficiencies and/or repairs needed in the major systems of a home (structural, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior) and to provide a general understanding of the property's current condition.

We write our home inspection reports in plain English that our clients find easy to follow. The most popular feature of a Criterium report is our Home Maintenance Plan, which provides home owners with useful information about their home's expected condition for the next ten years.

Exhaustive Home Inspection:

This includes a standard inspection plus invasive testing and/or equipment disassembly (as approved in advance by you and the property owner). The purpose is to gather all available and relevant information about the property. This more extensive inspection goes beyond the available visible evidence and provides an even more thorough analysis.
