Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential moisture issues. Using thermal imaging technology, we identify hidden problems that could affect property value or safety. The service includes a detailed digital report with photographic documentation and repair recommendations, completed within 24 hours of the on-site assessment.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging inspections detect moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies using infrared technology. This non-invasive method identifies hidden issues in walls, roofs, and electrical panels that standard visual inspections might miss. The service provides immediate findings with supporting thermal images included in our comprehensive inspection reports.
Commercial Inspection
Commercial property assessments follow ASTM E2018 standards to evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance. Our inspections cover building envelope, life safety systems, and ADA accessibility requirements. Clients receive detailed reports with cost estimates for immediate repairs and long-term maintenance planning for investment properties.
FHA 203k Loan Consulting
FHA 203k loan consulting services guide clients through property rehabilitation financing options. We assess repair needs, develop scope of work documents, and coordinate with lenders to ensure compliance with HUD requirements for home purchase and renovation projects.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections help sellers identify potential issues before marketing their property. Our assessment covers all major systems and components, providing sellers with repair recommendations to maximize marketability and negotiate from a position of strength during real estate transactions.
