Services
Buyer's Inspection
Our buyer's inspections comprehensively assess property conditions to identify material defects. We examine structural components, mechanical systems, and safety hazards while adhering to industry standards. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture intrusion and insulation deficiencies using FLIR E6 technology. This non-invasive method identifies temperature variations that indicate potential structural issues. Early detection helps prevent costly repairs while improving energy efficiency through targeted improvements.
New Construction
New construction inspections verify building quality before final walkthroughs. We identify code violations, workmanship issues, and system deficiencies during key construction phases. Our evaluations help buyers ensure builder compliance and negotiate corrections before closing.
11 Month Warranty
This inspection identifies emerging issues before builder warranties expire. We assess structural integrity, system performance, and maintenance needs during the critical first year. Findings help homeowners secure timely repairs at builder expense.
Relocation Inspection
Relocation inspections provide detailed property assessments for out-of-area buyers. We document conditions through extensive photography and written analysis. These comprehensive reports help investors and transferees make informed decisions when purchasing sight-unseen properties.
