Frequently Asked Questions

  • We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart. This is accomplished by caring about your investment and inspecting it thoroughly as if it were our own. We dedicate a few days to your property to ensure all details are accurate, have been properly recorded, and added to your report. We include HD photographs and do not charge for thermal (infrared) images and aerial 4K video and photos.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. Our motto, “Protecting your investment likes it’s our own.” is nothing short of serious. We're here to guide the process, thoroughly inspect the property, and ensure you are well informed of the properties condition, its major components, and provide a list of professional contacts to assist you with any deficiencies. We are here for you prior to, during, and long after the inspection. We stand by our clients.

  • No, absolutely not. Your report is confidential and can only be shared by you, the client. In fact, we are one of the few companies who do not use third party software to write or store your report. We write your report in-house and send the report directly to you.

    CAUTION: For your awareness, 3rd party inspection software companies are increasingly expanding data collaboration and partnerships with insurance companies and lenders by sharing inspection reports. This has had an adverse affect on clients in the inspection industry. Should you decide to use an inspection company who uses 3rd party software, be sure to inquire about shared reports from the third party software company.

  • The short answer is no. If we did, this would be a conflict of interest. As a third party consultant, our purpose is to provide you with an unbiased and detailed report of the properties condition at the time of the inspection. The report will detail who needs to be contacted to further evaluate and correct the issue.

  • Getting started is simple. Call, Text, or Email using the contact information below. You also have the option to click on the “Schedule Your Inspection Here” banner, scrolling marquee, “Appointment” button, or use our new “Quick Quote” feature by clicking on the button in the upper right corner of the page. When you’re ready, we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact information provided at the bottom of every page, through voice, text, email, or the scheduling page. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • We charge by square foot. However, we offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation or walk-through, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.

  • The length of the inspection is determined by the complexity and ancillary add-ons of the project. The physical inspection can range anywhere from a few hours to days. The report may take longer. Factors include: size, age, scope of major component systems (roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.), number of units, accessibility of the property, weather, and any hazardous conditions.

    Depending on the timeline and needs of the client, anything over 11,000 square feet may require us to hire a team of experts in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and/or roofing in order to accommodate the needs of the client and provide the report to them. If we do need to hire a team, this cost will be added to the agreement prior to the inspection.

  • The short answer is, no. An appraisal determines the fair market value of a property, and does so considering the home, neighborhood, and comparable properties. It also protects the lender by ensuring they are not lending more than the property is worth. An inspection however, determines the condition of a home and identifies potential issues. It also considers the properties functionality and safety, while protecting the client through a written report.

  • No, we do not write you tickets for the deficiencies we find and we don’t report you to code enforcement or the inspection fairy’s. We provide you with a property condition report and that is it. Addressing the findings is your responsibility.

  • Quote:

    Call, Text, or Email for a quote. You may also use our Quick Quote feature by clicking on the “Quick Quote” button in the upper right corner of the this page. We will use the information you provide and return a quote to you within 24-48 hours. In most cases, you may receive it the same day.

    Appointment:

    If you are ready for your inspection, you may use the “Appointment” button, scheduling banner up top, or the scrolling marquee to advance to the scheduling page. From there, please select the inspection type you need, and chose your date for the inspection. Within 24-48 hours, an agreement will be sent. Once accepted, the scheduling process is complete.

    Note:

    Buildings equal to or less than 11,000 square feet may use the “QuickQuote” feature, located at the upper right corner of the page.

    Buildings greater than 11,000 square feet require a preliminary walkthrough in order to determine the amount of additional resources and time that may be needed to perform the inspection. Upon completion of the walkthrough, a quote will be generated and sent to the client for acceptance and scheduling. Once accepted, the scheduling process is complete, and an agreement will be sent for signature.
