Residential
Inspections
What to Expect from Our Residential Inspections
Purchasing a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime and we understand the gravity of that decision. That’s why we offer comprehensive residential inspections that dig deep into the structure and systems of the property to ensure there are no hidden surprises. Our goal is to help you fully understand the home you’re purchasing, giving you the confidence to move forward—or to reconsider—based on the detailed information we provide.
Our home inspections cover every aspect of the property, inside and out. We go beyond the surface to assess the current condition of the structure, ensuring that no potential issues are overlooked. Whether it’s a new home, an older property, or a house that’s been recently remodeled, we approach each inspection with the same level of detail and precision.
We thoroughly inspect all major systems, including:
Foundation and structural components: Our inspection starts with the foundation and framework, as these are the backbone of any home. We’ll look for signs of settling, cracks, moisture intrusion, and other issues that could affect the long-term stability of the home.
Roofing and exterior: We check the condition of the roof, gutters, siding, windows, and doors to ensure everything is properly sealed and functioning to protect the home from the elements.
Plumbing systems: Our inspection includes a review of the plumbing systems, including the water supply, drainage, water heater, and any potential leaks or corrosion.
Electrical systems: We take safety seriously, which is why we carefully inspect the electrical systems in the home, from the wiring and circuit breaker to outlets and light fixtures. We’ll identify outdated wiring, improper connections, or overloaded circuits that could present hazards.
HVAC systems: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are essential for comfort, and we’ll assess the condition of the furnace, air conditioner, and ductwork to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Interior spaces: We don’t stop with the mechanical systems—we also look at the interior of the home, inspecting walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and insulation. We check for signs of water damage, pests, mold, or other problems that could affect the livability and safety of the space.
After completing our home inspection, we provide a detailed, easy-to-read report that outlines our findings. We include photos and descriptions of any issues we’ve identified, along with our professional recommendations for repairs or further evaluation if necessary. Our goal is to arm you with the facts so you can make an informed decision about the home you’re about to purchase.
Commercial
Inspections
Our Approach to Commercial Inspections
We know that the purchase or lease of a commercial property is a critical decision for any business. Just like a home, a commercial building can have hidden issues that could impact your business operations and profitability. That’s where we come in. Our commercial inspections provide a clear, detailed assessment of the property’s condition, allowing you to make strategic, informed decisions.
A commercial inspection requires a unique skill set and understanding of various building types and industries. Our team has extensive experience inspecting a range of commercial properties, from office buildings and retail spaces to industrial warehouses and apartment complexes. We bring the same attention to detail to each inspection, tailored to the specific needs of the business.
Here’s what our commercial inspections typically include:
Building structure and foundation: Like with residential inspections, we start by assessing the structure itself. We inspect the foundation, framing, and overall integrity of the building. Any signs of settling, structural damage, or water intrusion are noted in detail.
Roofing and drainage systems: Commercial roofs often differ from residential ones, and we make sure to check the roofing materials, drainage systems, and any rooftop HVAC units to ensure everything is in working order.
Electrical and plumbing systems: We evaluate the commercial-grade electrical and plumbing systems to identify any outdated or unsafe wiring, faulty connections, or plumbing leaks that could lead to costly repairs.
Fire safety systems: Fire alarms, sprinklers, and other safety equipment are critical in a commercial setting. We ensure all fire safety measures are up to code and functioning correctly to protect your business and its occupants.
Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems: We inspect the HVAC systems to ensure they are properly sized, maintained, and functioning efficiently for the needs of the commercial space.
Parking lots and exterior grounds: We evaluate the condition of parking lots, walkways, signage, and exterior landscaping. We’ll check for proper drainage and any potential hazards that could pose risks to customers or employees.
