What is a Move-In / Move-Out Inspection, and why is it important?
A Move-In / Move-Out Inspection documents the condition of a rental property before a tenant moves in and after they move out. Our detailed, timestamped photo reports help property managers and landlords assess damage beyond normal wear and tear, protect against disputes, and ensure fair security deposit handling. These visual inspections provide peace of mind and create accountability for both parties.

What does a Routine Inspection include?
Routine Inspections are scheduled periodically during a tenant’s lease to assess general property condition and identify any maintenance issues. These inspections are non-invasive and focus on cleanliness, safety, unauthorized occupants or pets, visible damage, smoke detector status, and general habitability. Our reports help property managers address issues early and ensure lease compliance.

What is included in a Vacancy Inspection?
Vacancy Inspections are conducted when a unit is unoccupied. They help ensure the property is secure, free of hazards, and not suffering unnoticed damage like leaks or vandalism. We document the condition of the interior and exterior, including windows, doors, utilities, HVAC function (if accessible), and signs of squatters or pests. These inspections protect your investment between tenants.

What is the purpose of a Maintenance / Follow-Up Inspection?
These inspections are performed after a repair or maintenance request has been completed. We verify the quality and completion of the work, confirm tenant satisfaction (if occupied), and ensure no additional issues have developed. Our inspections are a great tool for property managers to close the loop on work orders and keep vendors accountable.

What is a Deck & Stair Inspection, and when is it needed?
Our Deck & Stair Inspections focus on the safety and condition of exterior structures such as porches, landings, staircases, and railings. These visual checks help identify rot, loose components, and general wear that could pose liability risks. While not a structural inspection, this service is perfect for property managers or owners who need photo-documented safety checks, especially before leasing or as part of annual maintenance reviews.
