Home Inspector in Marquette, MI

UPCIS is protecting your loved ones and your investment in these rapidly changing and expensive times.

 

Buying a home in Marquette means buying a home that has lived through real Upper Peninsula winters. Heavy snow loads, ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on roofs, foundations and basements, and a fresh coat of paint at the showing won't tell you how the house has held up. A professional home inspection will.

UP Construction & Inspection Services (UPCIS, Inc.) inspects homes in Marquette and the surrounding communities, including Harvey, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn, Skandia and Republic. The owner, Ben Aho, is your inspector. There are no employees and no franchise. You work with the same person from your first call to your final questions about the report.

Why Marquette buyers hire UPCIS: more than 2,000 local inspections across the central U.P. and 250+ five-star reviews. Ben is a Michigan Licensed Residential Home Builder (Lic. #262300072) with a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, so when he finds a problem he can explain what's causing it and what the repair would involve. You get a detailed electronic PDF report with photos, and same-day turnaround is available. Every inspection comes with a 90 Day Money Back Guarantee.

In a U.P. home, the roof, foundation and basement get a hard look. Snow can sit on a roof for months, freeze-thaw cycles can turn a hairline crack into a bowing wall, and basement moisture is one of the most common hidden problems here. Heating, electrical, plumbing, drainage, decks, insulation and ventilation are all covered. If the home has a private well or septic, add a mechanical well evaluation and a functional septic evaluation, and Ben can send water samples to a Michigan state certified lab. Radon testing is recommended too.
