Services
Residential Inspection
Our standard residential inspection evaluates a home's visible structure, systems, and components. We identify material defects, safety hazards, and maintenance needs through non-invasive techniques. Clients receive a detailed report with photos and clear explanations to support informed purchasing or maintenance decisions.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
This inspection assesses construction quality before drywall installation. We examine electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, check wood framing moisture levels, and identify safety issues. Early defect detection prevents costly repairs and ensures compliance with building standards during critical construction phases.
New Construction Inspection
We identify hidden defects in newly built homes, focusing on workmanship, code compliance, and system functionality. Our evaluation covers structural elements, mechanical systems, and finish details. Timely reporting helps address issues while contractors remain accessible for corrections.
Maintenance Inspection
This service helps homeowners identify minor issues before they escalate. We assess roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical systems for wear or damage. Proactive maintenance recommendations preserve property value and prevent expensive emergency repairs over time.
Commercial Inspection
We provide comprehensive evaluations for duplexes, four-plexes, and light commercial properties. Our inspection covers structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance. Detailed reports highlight repair needs and maintenance priorities for investment property owners.
