Serving York, ME Home Buyers & Sellers Since 2004

Alpha Building Inspections provides certified, thorough home inspections in York, ME — one of the most sought-after communities on the southern Maine coast.

Whether you’re buying a historic Colonial along York Street, a beachfront cottage near York Beach, or a newer build in Cape Neddick, our InterNACHI-certified inspectors know what to look for in York County’s diverse housing stock.

With over 20 years serving New England, we back every inspection with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not fully satisfied, you don’t pay.

What’s Included in Your York, ME Home Inspection

Our comprehensive home inspection in York, ME covers every major system and component of your property. Here’s what we examine:

Exterior & Roof

We inspect siding, roofing materials (shingles, flat, metal, and the older slate and cedar-shake styles common in York's historic districts), chimneys, gutters, flashing, and all exterior electrical and plumbing fixtures. York's coastal salt air accelerates corrosion and wear. We pay close attention to metal fasteners, flashing integrity, and fascia condition on homes near the water.

Foundation, Basement & Crawlspace

We enter every crawlspace and inspect your foundation, basement walls, and floor systems for water intrusion, structural movement, and insulation gaps. York County's proximity to the coast and seasonal groundwater fluctuation can put pressure on older foundations. We flag early warning signs before they become costly repairs.

Plumbing & Water Systems

We check your water heater, supply and drain lines, sinks, showers, tubs, and fixtures throughout. Well and water testing add-ons are available for York properties on private water systems, common in the rural and semi-rural areas of Cape Neddick and beyond.

Electrical Systems

We inspect the main panel, sub-panels, breakers, and accessible outlets for safety, proper grounding, and code compliance. This is especially important in York's older Colonial and Victorian-era homes, where mixed-era wiring is frequently encountered.

HVAC & Heating

We test and inspect your furnace, boiler, oil burner, air handlers, and any air conditioning systems. With York's cold Maine winters and many homes running oil heat, heating system reliability is critical. We don't just note the presence of a system, we verify it's operating safely.

Interior & Grading

We check for signs of moisture intrusion, structural movement, and settlement inside the home, and verify that lot grading slopes away from the foundation. In York's coastal and low-lying areas, proper drainage and grading are especially important to protect your investment long-term.

Tom showed up on time and worked very hard for the entire 3.5 hours our home inspection took. He only took a break to answer our questions. His report was completed later that night and included not only comments and suggestions, but photos of all areas that he referred to, making it easy to visualize the issues he described. Great service all around.

I can't say enough great things about my experience with Alpha Inspections and our inspector (Tom Pelletier) in particular. They were so responsive and informative from the very first call to after the home inspection was complete. Tom was incredibly thorough and explained everything as he performed the inspection (including what he was checking for, why he was checking, what he found, and how it could/should be fixed). I would recommend them to anyone needing a home inspection without hesitation.

Luke, from Alpha Building Inspections, was amazing and did an extremely thorough home inspection for the home my boyfriend and I are purchasing. He explained everything to us and was very helpful with any questions. The man that came out to do the septic inspection was excellent as well. Both very informative and friendly!
