4worldlovers:

Thank you for visiting our website. We would love to help you make an informed purchase by hiring us to inspect your prospective property, whether it's a single family dwelling, a multi-family dwelling, a condominium, townhouse, or commercial building. We are heavily experienced in the construction and inspection industry. We have performed over 3,500 inspections, and we continue educating ourselves to make sure we serve you as best can be. We check everything in a property, except the clothes washer and clothes dryer, and we take hundreds of pictures. Because we are cognizant of the amount of money you are investing, we use the best, latest, and highest quality tools to help us detect defects. All of our inspections include thermal imaging at no extra cost, as well as droning of the roof (if it cannot be walked on) at no extra cost. We pride ourselves on providing the best customer service (see reviews below), and we strive to reveal all defects. Following is a list of what we inspect, as well as what we do not inspect.

All of our inspections are performed in accordance with the Residential (SOP) and Commercial (ComSOP) Standards of Practice. Following are links to these standards; click on "Residential" to view the Residential SOP; "Commercial", for ComSOP:

We inspect every roof. Our method of inspection is by walking on the roof. However, if we cannot walk on the roof because of the type of roof (concrete, metal, wood, too steep, or too high, to name a few), we use a drone, and we do not charge extra for this service. Other inspection companies charge for this type of inspection—they call it an "ancillary service". The way we see it is as follows: You pay for an inspection, and you do not know what is excluded. Therefore, we make sure we serve you completely and properly. ​So, we check the roof covering, flashing, vents, chimneys, spark arrestors, gutters, skylights, solar tubes, and ducting.

We inspect all components of the exterior that are attached to the building. For example, we inspect the eaves, fascia, exterior walls, stucco, siding, wood trim, windows, doors, weep screed, grading, walkways, driveways, steps, handrails, balconies, decks, fencing, walls, gates, planters, paint, screen doors, soffits, corbels, closets, enclosed patios, and patio covers.
