Service areas
Where do you perform commercial inspections?
We serve Metro Atlanta from our base in Hampton, Georgia, covering eight counties.
The big three
Roof. Parking lot and paving. HVAC.
Three important budget priorities to review before you buy—and throughout ownership. Actual repair costs depend on the property; other systems can also require significant investment.
- 01Roof
- Covering, flashing, drainage, and leak history can point to repair needs worth evaluating before closing.
- 02Parking lot and paving
- Cracking, potholes, settlement, and drainage deserve attention alongside the building itself.
- 03HVAC
- Equipment condition, documented age, and service history help guide specialist follow-up and replacement planning.
