Services
Buyers Inspection
Our Buyers Inspection identifies structural defects, system malfunctions, and safety hazards in prospective properties. This service empowers clients with comprehensive condition assessments to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments. Our detailed reports include photographic evidence and prioritized repair recommendations.
New Construction Inspection
New Construction Inspections verify building quality at various stages, from foundation to final completion. We assess code compliance, material quality, and system installations to catch issues early. Our phased evaluations ensure builders address problems before final walkthroughs.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
Pre-Drywall Inspections examine structural framing, electrical rough-ins, plumbing, and HVAC systems before wall coverings are installed. This critical evaluation identifies hidden flaws in construction methods and component placements. Our reports help prevent costly corrections after drywall installation.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging detects temperature anomalies indicating moisture intrusion, electrical faults, or insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology reveals hidden issues invisible to the naked eye. Combined with standard inspections, it provides enhanced diagnostic capabilities for comprehensive property assessments.
Drone Photography
Drone Photography captures high-resolution roof, gutter, and chimney images for safety-conscious evaluations. This technology enables detailed roof condition assessments without physical access risks. The visual documentation enhances report accuracy and repair recommendations.
