Your trusted Buckingham home inspector
Perfect Choice has inspected homes across Bucks County since 1999.
Bucks County housing runs from 18th- and 19th-century stone farmhouses and converted barns in Doylestown, New Hope and Solebury, to mid-century ranches and large new-construction developments in Warrington, Newtown and Warminster.
Older stone and plaster homes can hide knob-and-tube wiring, undersized electrical service, aging cast-iron plumbing, and stone-foundation moisture — while newer builds warrant close review of grading, drainage and recent workmanship. We tailor every inspection to the age and construction of the specific home.
Albert Gordon (ASHI #243562) performs every inspection personally and walks you through the findings — the same clear report and local expertise whether you're in Buckingham or anywhere in Bucks County.
What your Buckingham home inspection covers
A full general home inspection examines hundreds of components across every major system. Here's what we evaluate on a standard inspection.
Roof, gutters & exterior
Roof covering and flashing, chimneys, gutters and downspouts, siding, trim, grading and drainage away from the foundation.
Structure & foundation
Foundation, framing, basement or crawlspace, signs of movement, water intrusion, and wood-destroying conditions.
Electrical system
Service entrance and panel, breakers, wiring methods, GFCI/AFCI protection, and a representative sample of switches, outlets and fixtures.
Plumbing system
Supply and drain lines, water heater, visible leaks, water pressure, fixtures, and functional flow and drainage.
Heating & cooling (HVAC)
Furnace or boiler, air conditioning, distribution, thermostats, and an assessment of system age and condition.
Interior, attic & insulation
Walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, attic access, insulation and ventilation, and the kitchen and bathrooms.
Testing tailored to Bucks County homes
Radon testing in Buckingham
Bucks County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1 — the highest-risk designation — and the PA Department of Environmental Protection recommends every home be tested. We run continuous, tamper-resistant monitors for an accurate hourly average.
Termite & pest inspection
Wooded lots and older wood-framed and timber structures across Bucks make a wood-destroying-insect inspection a smart add-on, especially for homes with crawlspaces or earth-to-wood contact.
Lead-based paint testing
Many Buckingham homes predate the 1978 lead-paint ban. If yours is one of them, we test and provide a lead-safe certificate so you understand any risk before move-in.

Home inspection questions — Buckingham
How long does a home inspection in Buckingham take?
Most Buckingham home inspections take about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on the size, age and condition of the property. You're welcome — and encouraged — to attend, especially for the walkthrough at the end.
Do I need a radon test for a home in Buckingham?
Bucks County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-risk category, so the PA Department of Environmental Protection recommends testing every home. We can bundle radon testing with your Buckingham inspection.
How soon will I get my report?
You'll typically receive your full written report — narrative plus checklist with photos — within 24 hours of the inspection, so you can keep your transaction on schedule.
Can I combine termite and lead-based paint testing?
Yes. Many Buckingham buyers bundle the home inspection with termite (wood-destroying insect) and, for pre-1978 homes, lead-based paint testing. It's more convenient and often more economical than booking separately.
Are you certified and insured?
Yes. Albert Gordon is an ASHI Certified Inspector (member #243562). Every inspection follows the ASHI Standard of Practice, and we carry the appropriate insurance.
