Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of commercial properties do you inspect?
We inspect a wide range of commercial properties, including office buildings, warehouses, shopping malls, restaurants, retail spaces, and more. Our comprehensive approach ensures we evaluate the unique needs of each property type.
2. What does a commercial property inspection include?
A standard inspection includes a thorough evaluation of the property’s structure and major systems, such as:
-
Foundation and structural components
-
Roof and exterior envelope
-
Electrical systems
-
Plumbing
-
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
-
Safety features and accessibility elements
We leave no stone unturned to give you a complete picture of the property’s condition.
3. Do you offer specialized inspection services?
Yes. In addition to full commercial inspections, we provide specialized services, such as:
-
Radon testing

Mold assessments
-
Well flow testing
-
Water quality and purity testing
-

These additional services help ensure your property is safe, compliant, and functioning properly.
4. Are your inspectors certified?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are CCPIA Certified Commercial Building Inspectors, the highest qualification in the commercial inspection industry, and we are also certified through InterNACHI. This expertise ensures you get accurate, comprehensive evaluations backed by industry-recognized credentials.
5. How long does a typical inspection take?
Inspection times vary based on the size and complexity of the property. Most commercial inspections take several hours to complete, and we always allow enough time to perform a detailed review of every critical system and component.
6. Will I receive a written report?
Yes. After your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining findings, photos, and recommendations. Our reports are designed to help you make informed decisions about your property investment.
7. Can you help me understand “cost-to-cure” estimates?
Yes. If deficiencies are found, we can help explain the cost-to-cure — an estimate of what it may take to remedy issues or bring systems up to acceptable standards. This insight is valuable for investment decisions, negotiations, and planning.
8. When should I schedule a commercial inspection?
Common reasons to schedule an inspection include:
-
Before purchasing or selling a property
-
Prior to leasing or renewing a lease
-
For routine maintenance planning
-
When assessing major renovations or repairs
Early inspection helps you avoid surprises and make well-informed choices.
