Full Home and Condo Inspections

Complete property inspections for homes, condo units, townhomes, and light commercial spaces.

Full inspection services provide an in-depth observation of the visible property systems and conditions so owners, buyers, agents, investors, and representatives can better understand the property they are evaluating and its potential deficiencies that need addressing.

What it is for

A full inspection gives a far more extensive review and comprehensive report of the visible systems, potentially costly defects to the various systems and material property condition than that of a very limited insurance based inspection and report. It can support new home buyers and investors in their purchasing decision and help them understand upcoming or present repairs needed. It also can aid existing homeowners to better understand ongoing issues or help them set potential repair and maintenance needs based on severity.

Residential homes, townhomes, condominium units, duplexes and detached structures.
Manufactured or mobile homes.
Multi-unit apartment buildings.
Light commercial spaces and office condominiums.
Warehouse areas and storage buildings.

What we document

First Quality Inspections has provided comprehensive and highly detailed documentation in all full residential and commercial property reporting since we opened our doors in 2007. We use our own proprietary reporting structure that provides the highest quality of documentation in a format that is easily read and understood by everyone from new home buyers that are not construction savvy to long time property investors. A standard full home inspection generally includes a thorough review of all visible exterior features, roof surface observations, accessible attic and crawlspace areas, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior rooms, moisture indicators, pool areas, sidewalks, driveways, windows, shutters, flooring and interior aesthetics, and other visible concerns within the requested scope.

Photo-supported findings arranged for clear review.
Thermal imaging reviews with every full general home inspection for various electrical components such as the service panel and range/oven heating element testing, plumbing exposures such as water heater elements operability by testing water temperature, and various other readily accessible areas in the home. Generally, thermal images are provided within the report to help the client document current conditions.
Systems and material conditions are documented in detail and commented on when major deficiencies are found, providing detailed narratives to help explain conditions in basic terms, providing explanation of a defect or system, not confusion or vague generalities.
Optional stand-alone inspection areas when a full inspection is not needed.

General Inspection

Broad property review

Way more than a checklist pass-through.

First Quality Inspections combines an extensive construction knowledge base, decades of inspection experience and insurance-reporting perspective, to make visible conditions easier to understand. The goal is a highly detailed and comprehensive report that is useful, readable and supported by photo documentation. Thermal imaging may also be provided to help support findings for the plumbing, HVAC and electrical report sections.

Review visible areas

Exterior, interior, and accessible systems are reviewed based on the requested inspection type and property conditions.

Document with photos

Photos are used to support the findings and make the report easier to review after the appointment.

Thermal Imaging

First Quality Inspections uses thermal imaging to assist when performing the inspection and testing plumbing fixtures and valves as well as to assess ceilings for major insulation cavities causing heat spikes and for various electrical components such as the service and distribution panels.

Explain the Details

We offer a full summary walk through with the buyer upon completion of the inspection if the buyer requests this when they order and are available at the time of the inspection to be present. Alternatively, the inspector can call the buyer post inspection to provide a verbal summary of his findings. Further, when questions come up, the office stays reachable by phone, mobile, and email.
