Moving here from out of state? Use Allied for your Norwalk Connecticut home inspection. As a local, independent house and condo inspector I'll provide you with personalized service and a detailed home inspection. As most real estate transactions are time-sensitive I email you with a written report the same day I inspect your new home. Additional services such as water and radon testing are provided in house, and I can arrange septic inspections to be provided by licensed local firms as needed.
