Commercial Inspections – An inspection that is tailored to each facility. This is not a modified residential inspection. Instead, we have the knowledge, training, and experience in commercial properties to help you become an informed buyer. The report is custom developed for the individual property.

Re-Inspection of Repairs – During a previous inspection, certain items may have been noted for repair. Once repairs have been made, an assessment is needed. We look at the quality of materials and workmanship considering industry practices. The acceptability of repairs is identified with appropriate remarks as required.

Inspection Repair Estimates – An inspection tells you what needs repair; but how much will those repairs cost? For a fee, we provide Cost Estimates for the repairable items listed on the Summary Section of your Home Inspection Report.

New Construction Inspection – An inspection of residential or commercial property currently under construction. Typically performed when the foundation is complete and again when framing is complete (before insulation & drywall). We focus on quality of workmanship and quality of materials. When construction is complete (including landscaping), we recommend you schedule our Whole House or Commercial Inspection.
