Residential & Commercial Structural Inspection

Comprehensive Residential and Commercial Inspection Services

• Pre-Purchase Structural Inspection

  • Before purchasing a property, it’s crucial to understand its structural integrity, as it may cause a significant repair cost after closing. Our pre-purchase structural inspections identify potential concerns such as foundation, floor framing, and water-related issues and pinpoint the remediation options with the approximate repair costs. Whether it’s a single-family home or a commercial office building, we provide actionable insights to help you make confident decisions and be ready for closing

• Pre-Listing Structural Inspection

  • For sellers, ensuring your property is structurally sound can expedite the sale process, increase its value, and eliminate the listing/showing hassles. Our pre-listing structural inspections address concerns before potential buyers discover them, giving you an edge in negotiations and providing you with a stamped structural report that you can share with your buyer(s). We are on your side, from identifying the issues to designing repairs and construction management phases.

• Structural Inspection for Fire Escape Stairways

  • Fire escapes are a critical safety feature for multi-unit residences and commercial buildings. Many Cities and towns across Massachusetts require a Fire Escape and Fire Balcony Affidavit from a registered Professional Engineer. For example, the City of Boston requires a certification every five (5) years by a Massachusetts Registered Professional Engineer. Our fire escape and balcony inspections ensure they meet City/Town officials’ requirements, are structurally sound, and reduce liability risks.
