Residential Inspection

Our residential inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of single-family homes, identifying structural issues, safety hazards, and maintenance needs. With over two decades of construction experience, we examine electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation integrity. Our detailed digital reports include 100+ high-resolution images and clear recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.

Commercial Inspection

Commercial property inspections assess structural integrity, mechanical systems, and safety compliance for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. We evaluate roofing, electrical infrastructure, plumbing systems, and ADA compliance while providing actionable repair estimates. Our reports help investors understand property conditions before acquisition.

Pool Inspection

Specialized pool inspections examine structural integrity, filtration systems, safety features, and water circulation. We identify cracks, leaks, electrical hazards, and code violations while assessing equipment functionality. Our reports include safety recommendations and repair cost estimates for both residential and commercial pools.

Warranty Inspection

Warranty inspections identify construction defects before coverage expires, focusing on roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural components. We document issues requiring builder remediation and provide detailed reports to facilitate warranty claims. Our evaluations help homeowners protect their investment during critical warranty periods.

Phased Construction Inspection

Phased construction inspections evaluate quality at key building stages, including foundation, framing, and final walkthroughs. We identify code violations, material defects, and workmanship issues during construction to prevent costly corrections later. Our systematic approach ensures compliance with building standards throughout the development process.

Mark was very knowledge about his work and overall a genuine individual. My husband and I are in the process of purchasing our first home. He went above and beyond to help explain the process and gave us helpful tips. His inspection was thorough and very detail specific, we were very impressed! Will definitely call Mark in the future for any assistance!
P.S. - We are not related, but it's pretty neat we share the same last name!

Mark helped my client with a home inspection as was extremely thorough! He takes his time and truly cares! When my client did a walk through and had a question, Mark face- timed him immediately and answered all of my client's questions. Thank you for a great experience!

We were really impressed with Mark. We had a hard time finding a inspector that would meet our needs in the time frame we had but as soon as we spoke with Mark he made sure we got what we needed. We have now used him more than once and we don't plan on using anyone else for future needs! He really pays attention to detail and goes over every little thing with you. He also makes sure you understand everything in his reports.
