Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all accessible systems and components, from foundations to roofs. We test electrical circuits, irrigation systems, and structural integrity while identifying potential environmental hazards. Clients receive detailed reports with repair recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
Commercial Inspections
We evaluate commercial properties for structural soundness, code compliance, and operational systems. Our assessments include roofing, electrical infrastructure, and environmental risk factors. Reports help investors understand property conditions before acquisition or lease agreements.
New Construction Inspections
Our phased inspections cover pre-drywall assessments and final walkthroughs for new homes. We identify builder oversights and ensure systems function properly before closing. Clients benefit from our technical expertise to verify construction quality.
Drone Roof Inspections
Using drone technology, we safely inspect roofing conditions without physical access. This non-invasive method provides high-resolution imagery to detect damage, wear, or installation issues while maintaining safety standards.
4-Point Insurance Inspections
We evaluate key systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) required for insurance underwriting. Our reports help homeowners secure coverage by documenting property conditions that meet insurer requirements.
