Buyer’s Inspection
This inspection is for any residential property, including family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. We’ll perform a thorough evaluation of the property’s visible and readily accessible areas, from the foundation to the roof. After the inspection is completed, a comprehensive report of our findings will be available within 24 hours.
We inspect the following components:
Roofing System
Structural Components
Foundation & Crawl Spaces
Exterior (doors, windows, cladding)
Driveways & Walkways
Deck & Balcony
Garage
Interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)
Attic, Ventilation, & Insulation
Fireplace
Plumbing System
Electrical System
HVAC Systems
Built-In Appliances
Typically, our inspector will walk the roof of a residence. However, if the roof is unsafe or inaccessible, we’ll utilize our aerial drone to perform the inspection to completion. We also use a crawl space video rover to inspect crawl spaces that are too tight to access—a situation commonly encountered in pre-manufactured homes.
Additional Inspection Services
Commercial Property Inspection
We’re able to provide comprehensive Commercial Property Inspections for commercial buildings of practically any style or size. Whether you’re looking to invest in a storefront or a multi-unit living complex, we’ll provide a thorough inspection of the property so that you’re made aware of potential issues and are able to have confidence in your prospective investment.
Pre-Listing Inspection
A Pre-Listing Inspection is designed to facilitate a smoother real estate transaction when you’re trying to sell a home. We’ll provide a full analysis of the home’s condition before it hits the market, providing you with valuable information that can be applied toward possible repair efforts and honest communication with prospective buyers.
New Construction Inspection
If the day of the builder’s final walkthrough of your new home is nearing, then you should give us a call so that we can provide an unbiased assessment of the property’s condition. We’ll carefully look over each readily accessible area, taking note of potential defects or safety issues that need to be discussed with the builder before the project is complete.
New Construction Phase Inspections
For this inspection service, one of our team members will perform a comprehensive inspection of a home at several critical build phases. This typically includes pre-foundation, pre-drywall, and pre-final walkthrough inspections. The information revealed during each inspection will ensure that proper construction practices are being observed and will go a long way toward protecting your investment.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
This inspection comes recommended for all new homeowners. Before the builder’s 1-year warranty on your home has expired, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation of the property to look for potential defects, safety issues, or components that will otherwise benefit from immediate maintenance. Depending on the nature of our discoveries and the terms of your warranty, you may not be responsible for the full costs of repair or maintenance.
Re-Inspections
When a home component is identified as defective, it can raise a lot of questions. This inspection is designed to give the prospective homebuyer peace of mind. After the seller has notified you that the original issue is resolved, we’ll make sure that claim is true by returning to the property to inspect the repair work.
WDO/Termite Inspection
This inspection is referred out to a licensed and insured third-party specialist. The specialist will thoroughly assess the structure of a home for potential signs of damage caused by termites or other wood-destroying organisms—a serious issue that isn’t always easy to spot with the untrained eye.
Pool and Spa Inspection
This inspection is a detailed assessment of a home’s pool and/or spa. Before you commit to buying a home, it’s important to know whether an included pool is safe, functional, and correctly appraised in terms of the home’s overall value. We’ll inspect most structural and mechanical components, including additions such as ladders and diving boards.
