There is nothing more frustrating than having to tear down a wall in your brand new home because you discover that there is a structural issue after the builders have left. Our pre-drywall inspections provide an inspection of the rough framing before the home is insulated or drywalled so that you, the buyer, have eyes on it….our eyes. We can identify a wide variety of issues with the structure, plumbing, electrical, and other systems in this phase of the building process. A Certified Pre-Drywall Inspection can protect you against shoddy work and unintentional mistakes ~ because even the best builders make mistakes.
You’ve heard it before: “It broke just as soon as the warranty expired!” If anything, a Warranty Inspection holds builders, installers, suppliers, and manufacturers liable for their work and products. The few-hundred dollars you pay for a warranty inspection could very-well save you from having to hand-over thousands (or tens-of-thousands) of dollars for future repairs and new systems that were improperly installed or damaged and never caught by the builder or municipal inspectors.
Getting your existing home ready for sale is stressful enough, the last thing you need is a sudden surprise when your home is under contract and the buyer’s home inspector uncovers some hidden problems that you had no idea existed. It could cause you to panic and be forced to overspend on repairs in order to get it fixed quick to meet the closing deadline or worse yet – the buyer backs out and cancels the deal. A Certified Pre-Listing Inspection will help avoid any last minute trouble that could jeopardize the sale.
Your first inspection with Triangle Inspection Group is just the beginning, we provide top notch support for your home by providing ongoing inspections to ensure your home stays safe, in great shape and free of termites.
Annual or seasonal inspections of your home, closed crawlspace inspections, post storm inspections, annual termite inspections as well as termite treatments with a full warranty against reinfestation.
