Whether you're buying, selling, or building a home, a professional inspection provides valuable information about the property's condition and can help you make informed decisions. At MARVinspect, we perform comprehensive inspections designed to identify potential concerns and provide a clear understanding of the home's major systems and components.
Our services include pre-purchase inspections, pre-listing inspections, new construction inspections, and 11-month warranty inspections. Every inspection also includes thermal imaging at no additional cost, allowing us to identify certain issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection.
Aerial Photography
Drone photography offers a valuable bird's-eye view of a property, highlighting features that may not be fully visible from the ground. Aerial images can showcase lot size, landscaping, outbuildings, property boundaries, and the surrounding area, helping buyers better visualize the property and its overall appeal.
Additional Services
​Radon Inspection
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can accumulate inside homes without any visible signs. Since it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, testing is the only way to know if elevated levels are present.
Radon testing can provide valuable information about a home's indoor environment and help you make informed decisions about your property. At MARVinspect, we use professional-grade testing equipment to deliver accurate, dependable results. Contact us to learn more about this important service.

Water Testing
Water quality testing can provide valuable information about the safety and condition of a home's water supply. MARVinspect offers testing for common contaminants, including lead, copper, and bacteria, delivering accurate results to help homeowners make informed decisions with confidence.
Additional Services
MARVinspect partners with Canady's Termite & Pest Control to provide thorough termite and pest inspections as part of your home evaluation. A qualified inspector will carefully assess the property for signs of active infestations, previous activity, or conditions that may indicate damage.

Meet Matt
Matt Marvin, Lead Inspector
Matt Marvin, AHIT certified and licensed in North Carolina (HILB #5594), serves as the lead inspector on every inspection. This provides consistency for clients and ensures you always know who will be conducting your inspection.
With a background in restoration, remodeling, and customer service, Matt brings years of hands-on experience to each property. He has completed numerous inspections and applies a detail-oriented approach to identifying areas of concern in both homes being purchased and those being sold.
Each accessible roof is walked when conditions allow. When roof access is limited, drone technology or extension pole imaging is used to obtain a clear view. Every inspection also includes thermal imaging, which can help identify conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as moisture intrusion or overheating electrical and mechanical components.
Matt is also a licensed North Carolina real estate broker, bringing additional perspective on how inspection findings relate to the overall transaction process.
Testimonials
Matt inspected my new house recently, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about things I asked about. He did a thorough report, and issued the report the same day. Everything was clearly explained and described. Thanks, Matt, for getting me started on the right foot in my new house!
