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. This is NOT a two, four, six, or eight hour turn and burn inspection. Beware of those type of inspection companies.

  • No, absolutely not! Your report is confidential and can only be shared by you, the client. In fact, we are one of the few who don’t use third party software to write or store your report. We write your report in-house and email the report directly to you. Inspection software companies are increasingly expanding data collaboration and partnerships with insurance companies and lenders by sharing inspection reports. In some cases the inspection reports have been used against the clients of the inspection companies. Beware of inspection companies who use third party inspection software.

  • 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 and it’s major components.

  • We primarily offer consulting for commercial A, B, and C class buildings and residential home inspections.

    We also offer ancillary services in Radon, Indoor Air Quality, and water testing as an added service.

  • We conduct a limited visual inspection of HVAC system(s); plumbing system(s); mechanical and electrical system(s); roof surface(s), drainage, and penetration(s); exterior elements, vegetation, and landscaping; general topography and parking area(s); attic, ventilation, and insulation; basement, foundation, and crawlspace; doors, windows, and interior components; life and health safety components; structural components; commercial kitchens; and ADA compliance.

  • 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. Reach out through our contact information below or click on the “Schedule Your Inspection Here” banner, marquee, or button, and we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way. We do welcome texting.

  • 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.
