Pre-Listing Home Inspections

Clarity for Complex Buildings — Before You Commit

Our commercial inspections are designed for buyers, owners, and property stakeholders who need a clear, practical understanding of a building’s visible and accessible condition. We document material observations with photos and organized reporting, helping you evaluate risk, plan maintenance, and make confident decisions—whether you’re purchasing, leasing, or managing a property.

Based in Southampton, NY, we provide commercial inspections across the East End of Long Island, including Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Water Mill, East Hampton, and surrounding areas.

Who This Is For

  • Commercial property buyers and owners

  • Landlords and property managers

  • Tenants evaluating a space (lease due diligence)

  • Investors seeking condition clarity before closing

  • Stakeholders planning capital improvements or maintenance programs

What We Inspect

OCommercial buildings vary widely, so scope is tailored to the property type and your goals. Our inspections focus on visible and accessible systems and components, which may include:

  • Roof surfaces, flashings, penetrations, and drainage

  • Exterior envelope: siding, masonry, windows/doors, sealants, detailing

  • Structure and visible framing (as accessible)

  • Interior spaces: walls, ceilings, floors, finishes, and signs of water impact

  • Common areas and life-safety observations (non-code compliance, visual only)

  • Mechanical systems overview (HVAC equipment, distribution, visible components)

  • Electrical system overview (service, panels, visible wiring, accessible components)

  • Plumbing overview (fixtures, visible piping, water heaters where applicable)

  • Basement/crawlspace/utility areas (where present and accessible)

  • Moisture indicators, ventilation issues, and building performance red flags

If you have a specific concern (active leak, odor, humidity issues, visible staining), we can focus the inspection accordingly and recommend targeted diagnostics.

What You’ll Receive

  • Organized reporting with clear narratives and photo documentation

  • Summary of material observations and priority concerns

  • Practical recommendations to help guide next actions

  • Clear documentation that supports ownership, leasing, and maintenance planning

Additional Diagnostics (When Appropriate)

Depending on the home and your concerns, we may recommend additional services such as:

  • Thermal Imaging Inspections (helpful for investigating concealed moisture/insulation concerns)

  • Mold Assessments (when moisture impact or suspect growth is observed)

  • Moisture Intrusion Diagnostics (when active leaks or recurring water entry is suspected)

  • Water Quality Testing (for well systems or specific concerns)

How It Works

  1. Schedule your inspection and share any known concerns or disclosures

  2. On-site inspection with documentation of visible and accessible conditions

  3. Report delivery with clear findings and recommendations

Important Notes

Commercial inspections are observational and non-invasive, based on conditions that are visible and accessible at the time of the visit. Certain evaluations may require specialists depending on the building and goals (e.g., engineering, environmental testing, invasive leak tracing, code compliance, fire protection, elevators, or specialized mechanical systems). We can help coordinate next-step recommendations as needed.
