What is a Visual Exam?

Flourish_Circle_blue

$4900

VISUAL INSPECTION

Up to 8 hours on site plus a photo-documented findings report from a Building Doctor who will visually evaluate the exterior of your building(s) looking for a sampling of overall conditions, any clues of failures, and indicators of maintenance or repairs that are visually evident to our trained eyes.

WHEN DO YOU NEED ONE?

Visual Inspections should be performed every 1-3 years, as well as:

  • After storms or other damage from water or fire
  • After reported leaks or evidence of potential damage
  • Before, during, and after repairs are performed
ITEMIZED FINDINGS REPORT

Our team of inspectors will perform a visual inspection of your building(s), produce a written report with photos, document our findings (typically 30+ pages), and recommend corrective action if needed.

WHAT IT IS:

Building Envelope exterior review:

  • Roofing assembly, flashing, sealants, gutters/drains, other related components
  • Exterior claddings and integrated components including flashing, and sealants
  • Exterior windows, doors and integrated components
  • Exterior decks, landings and/or stairways including deck surface, drainage, flashings, sealants, and other integrated components

WHAT IT'S NOT:

The Visual Exam is not an in-depth or detailed inspection of every individual unit and building component.

A Visual Exam is not the same thing as a Reserve Study inspection.

NEED SOMETHING SPECIAL?

This inspection is limited to 8 hours, so if your property is large, our inspectors will not have time to do a proper visual inspection.

If you would like something more comprehensive, give us a call. We’re happy to write a customized proposal for you!

You’ll also need a customized proposal if your building requires any ladders, lifts, or safety equipment to perform a proper inspection.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

This type of visual inspection is great for:

  1. Annual inspections as required by your community bylaws
  2. Verifying a contractor’s work
  3. It’s been a while since you have had your building inspected and it’s time to get back on track with maintenance
  4. You have known leaks or other issues/concerns and need to take the first step in assembling a repair plan
  5. You need a second opinion on your reserve study or another report or an estimate for repairs
  6. Independent review of your property before diving into expensive repairs
  7. You are preparing for a major renovation and want to avoid unpleasant "surprises"

You deserve to know if your building is safe (or not)

Living with water damage is a rotten feeling. Get an expert's opinion about your building problems.
