Common concerns that I can help you resolve include: indoor air quality (mold, radon, VOCs), safety (carbon monoxide, electrical issues, asbestos, lead), structural problems, water intrusion, comfort, high energy bills and ice dams.

Whether you want a better understanding of improving your home or need assistance with a specific issue, I'll collaborate with you to create an efficient and cost-effective plan that considers the bigger picture, avoiding unintended problems. Start today by booking your free 30-minute consultation!

Professionals

Are you involved in real estate, construction, inspection, design, architecture, or any housing-related field? Do you or your clients need help fixing, improving or understanding a house?

The trades industry today is highly segregated, with each sector focusing on their own specific piece of the house puzzle. However, many houses have issues because the pieces don’t fit perfectly which end up in costly repairs. Finding someone who comprehends the entire picture and understands how the pieces fit, or don't fit, can be quite challenging.

If you or your clients are seeking guidance, education or problem-solving for any house-related questions or concerns, you’ve come to the right place. Contact me to get started!

“Tessa inspected our house regarding heat loss through the attic that we've been trying to resolve since shortly after we purchased the house. She was professional, thorough and honest about what our options were to resolve the problem. What I really appreciated was how she listened to us regarding our observations and addressed all of our questions we had regarding reports from the initial home inspection from the house purchase and an energy audit. We now have options on how to proceed and have a better understanding of whether or not the repair will be worth the cost and the challenges we might encounter."
