Within 2 to 3 days of the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed inspection report describing each system of the house, with descriptions, photos, and illustrations of any defects found.
If you have any questions relating to the report, we are happy to answer them. In fact, we offer free telephone consultation for as long as you own the home.

Yes — A condo inspection is highly recommended, especially for first-time buyers. A condo inspection is a smart investment that helps you understand the true condition of the unit and avoid costly surprises. While condos may seem simpler than full houses, they still involve complex systems like plumbing, electrical, heating, and ventilation.
Our certified inspectors examine key components inside the unit and, when accessible, flag issues related to shared spaces or common elements. These findings can help you avoid unexpected repair costs or special assessments.
Whether you’re buying your first condo or adding to your real estate portfolio, a professional inspection provides peace of mind and clear insight before you sign.

A pre-purchase inspection is for buyers, while a pre-listing inspection is for sellers. Both assess the home’s condition, but a pre-listing inspection helps sellers prepare, disclose issues, and avoid price reductions during negotiations.
