Services
At Ken Arnold Home Inspection, LLC., we provide clear, unbiased home inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Western Massachusetts. Our inspections are professional, visual assessments of a home’s condition. We work only for the client—not the bank, not the agent—so you get an honest opinion and a straightforward report.
A home inspection is a comprehensive visual review of the house’s major systems and components. The goal is to help you understand the home as it actually is today—not how it looks in photos or on a listing sheet.
A typical inspection lasts about 2–3 hours on site. Clients are strongly encouraged to attend so you can ask questions and get familiar with how everything works.
During an inspection, Ken examines the visible and readily accessible areas of the home, including:
- Structure
- Roof and attic
- Foundation
- Exterior
- Interior rooms
- Electrical system
- Plumbing system
- Heating and air conditioning systems
- Kitchen
- Bathrooms
Afterwards, Ken returns to the office to prepare your written report. The report is typically emailed the same day or early the next morning, with a hard copy mailed out shortly after.
This service is ideal for:
- Buyers who want to understand what they’re purchasing
- Sellers who want to know what might come up later in negotiation
- Current homeowners who haven’t had a professional look at their home in years and want a check-up
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas created by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil. It can enter a home through small openings in the foundation and build up to unsafe levels, especially in basements and lower levels.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identifies radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer and recommends action at levels of 4 pCi/L or higher.
While Ken Arnold Home Inspection no longer performs radon testing directly, Ken:
- Explains the basics of radon and why it matters in this region
- Recommends that buyers and sellers consider testing as part of a real estate transaction
- Can refer you to trusted, certified radon testing and mitigation professionals in the area if you choose to have testing or remediation done
So if radon is a concern for you—or becomes an issue during your purchase or sale—Ken can point you toward qualified specialists who handle testing and mitigation every day.
No matter why you’re having an inspection done, every client gets:
- A thorough, on-site visual inspection of the home’s major systems
- An inspection performed to Massachusetts home inspection standards
- A clear written report with plain-language explanations and practical recommendations
- Email delivery of your report so you can forward it easily to your agent or attorney
