Your trusted West Norriton home inspector
Perfect Choice has inspected homes across Montgomery County since 1999.
Montgomery County spans early-1900s Main Line estates in Lower Merion and Ardmore, dense post-war suburbs around Norristown and Lansdale, and newer communities in Collegeville, Skippack and the Pottstown corridor.
Stately older homes can carry original wiring, galvanized or cast-iron plumbing, slate roofs and oversized systems that need careful evaluation, while post-war and newer homes warrant review of roofing age, HVAC condition, and finished-basement moisture. We adapt the inspection to each 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 West Norriton or anywhere in Montgomery County.
What your West Norriton home inspection covers

Testing tailored to Montgomery County homes
Radon testing in West Norriton
Montgomery County is classified EPA Radon Zone 1 (highest potential), and PA DEP recommends testing for every buyer. Our continuous monitors deliver a precise, hour-by-hour radon reading you can act on.
Termite & pest inspection
From Main Line estates to suburban developments, wood-destroying-insect inspections are a worthwhile safeguard — particularly for homes with mature landscaping, crawlspaces, or wood structures near grade.
Lead-based paint testing
Many West Norriton 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 — West Norriton
How long does a home inspection in West Norriton take?
Most West Norriton 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 West Norriton?
Montgomery 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 West Norriton 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 West Norriton 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.
