Termite / WDI Inspection ($150 (Free for Veterans))
We inspect for termites and other wood-destroying insects. We document and photograph any evidence of insect activity, past treatment, or structural damage during every standard inspection at no additional charge. This add-on exists specifically for buyers using VA financing, which requires a separate signed form. We waive this fee entirely for all active-duty and veteran military clients.
