Over $200,000

in needed repairs and replacements found on one recent commercial inspection of a 22,500 square foot retail building, before the buyer closed on it. 832 line items checked, eight categories deficient.

Infrared, no charge

One of very few inspection firms in Dallas that puts thermal imaging on every job without adding it to the invoice.

Read the roof, not the brochure

Everything in this frame is something a report has to answer for.

This is a commercial roof in the Dallas area, photographed from where the inspector actually stands. Hover any mark to see what gets checked and why it matters to whoever is about to own it.

What we inspect

Three kinds of work, one standard of report.

Home, commercial and infrared. The scope changes with the building. The thoroughness does not, and the thermal camera comes out either way.

Pricing is based on the square footage of living space, so the honest answer is that it depends on the house. Call (469) 569-4212 with the address and the square footage and you will get a firm number on the call. Commercial inspections are quoted individually after we look at the building type and size.

It is included. Every home and commercial inspection comes with infrared thermal imaging at no additional cost, and the images go in your report. Most inspectors in the Dallas area either do not carry a thermal camera or charge separately for it.

A typical home inspection runs three to four hours on site. The report is computer generated the same day and includes high resolution photos and the infrared images. Commercial reports are delivered as a PDF within three days and open with a summary sheet of the items that matter most.

On a home: the heating system, the central air conditioning when the temperature allows it, interior plumbing, electrical systems, the roof, the attic, visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, the foundation, the basement and the visible structure. On a commercial building the scope runs across nine categories, from the roof covering and the exterior envelope through heating and ventilation, cooling, plumbing, electrical, wood decks and balconies, the foundation, and the doors, windows and interior.

Yes, and it is a large part of the work. Commercial inspections cover Dallas County, Collin County and Tarrant County, and include a five year cost breakdown that sequences the useful life and replacement cost of the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical and heating and air so a buyer can plan rather than guess.

We run a roof level survey with a drone, measuring elevation differences across a grid against a centre reference point. That identifies where water will pond and what the drainage fix is, which is the difference between an opinion about a flat roof and a measurement of one.

No, and any inspector who tells you otherwise is guessing. A Texas inspection describes the condition of the systems and components at the time of the inspection. It does not predict future condition, efficiency or life expectancy. What it does do is tell you what is not performing now and what needs maintenance.

Yes. New construction, resale and foreclosure properties each read differently and each gets the same full scope. On new construction the value is usually in what the trades left unfinished behind a wall or above a ceiling, which is exactly where infrared earns its place.

Home inspection pricing runs on the square footage of living space, so there is no useful price to publish, only a real one to give you. Commercial gets quoted after we know the building type and size.
