Dan Kopp personally explains all findings and provides maintenance recommendations during each appointment. The inspection process meets ASHI standards while exceeding industry norms through personalized attention and thorough technical evaluation.

Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence to facilitate pre-closing repairs. The inspection provides critical quality control for new construction projects through Dan Kopp's 29 years of combined construction and inspection expertise.

Our evaluations help sellers prepare for buyer inspections while maintaining control over repair timelines and cost negotiations.

Our mold testing service includes environmental sample collection and laboratory analysis for airborne and surface mold contamination. We evaluate HVAC systems, attics, and moisture-prone areas using controlled air testing and direct sampling methods. The process identifies mold types and contamination sources, providing clients with documented results for remediation planning or property transactions.

We recommend biennial maintenance inspections to identify developing issues before they become major problems.
