We answer your questions before and after, schedule fast, carry general liability and errors and omissions insurance, and show up when we say we will, because skipping a proper inspection or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to surprise structural costs, unsafe wiring, lender or insurance delays, failed appraisals, or correction notices from your local building department.
Services include pre-purchase inspection for buyers before you buy, pre-sale inspection for sellers before you list, full building inspections for homeowners and investors, phase inspections for new construction, warranty checks at month eleven, and commercial tenant improvement reviews, each aimed at finding safety risks, structural issues, moisture intrusion, and code items early. During city permitted work we time framing, rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, insulation, and final inspections, and we help you prepare by keeping access clear, keeping power and water on for testing, and keeping the permit posted so the city can sign off without delays.
