Types of Inspections

Properties We Inspect Across Connecticut: Residential, Multi-Family, Condos, Mobile Homes & Commercial.

Customized Standards for Every Structure

Inspections Tailored to Every Property Type

Although many aspects of inspecting a property are similar when it comes to ensuring health, safety, and longevity, there are key structural and mechanical differences between houses, multi-family units, condos, manufactured homes, and commercial buildings. Each property type has unique inspection standards and practices tailored to its architectural style.

Single-Family Home Inspections

Whether you're purchasing your first house, preparing to sell, or verifying routine maintenance, an inspection provides indispensable peace of mind. We examine over 400 components—from roof shingles and chimney flashing to foundation footings, electrical panels, and HVAC systems—to alert you to any underlying structural or mechanical defects.

Apartment & Multi-Family Inspections

Condo & Townhouse Inspections

Condominium purchases require specialized understanding of where homeowner responsibility ends and the Homeowners Association (HOA) begins. We evaluate interior plumbing branch lines, electrical distribution sub-panels, private balconies, HVAC units, and water heaters, while assessing attic spaces and firewall assemblies.

Mobile & Manufactured Home Inspections

Manufactured and mobile homes have distinctive structural and mechanical assemblies that differ markedly from site-built houses. We inspect steel chassis framing, ground tie-down anchors, crawlspace vapor skirting, lightweight roof trusses, and specialized HUD-compliant electrical and heating setups.
