PRESSURE & STRESS
At Tennessee Building Inspections we understand the stress of the unknown and we strive to perform our inspections in a professional manner that will both educate the interested parties and convey the real conditions. If there’s damage then we will report it accordingly. If there are no elevated issues needing corrective action, then we will freely report that as well. We’re also well versed in quality features and workmanship and will add that information to our reports.
NEUTRAL THIRD PARTY
As a neutral third-party inspection firm, we have no vested interest in making issues worse than they really are. We do not perform repairs and we accept no referral fees or kickbacks from repair contractors.
SPECIALIZED RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS
Whether your building is a traditional frame, log, post-frame, new construction, or historic property we specialize in performing these inspections. Thermal Imaging & Moisture Intrusion Evaluations help assess the condition of the structural systems by looking for visible installation flaws, conducting extensive moisture readings using electronic moisture devices, and then compiling the information in a detailed report. Moisture inspections are an additional cost to the client.
FEES
Quality inspection fees are worth the investment for the information provided. You’ll notice that fees are set in ranges, due to the differences in buildings with similar square footage. The actual fee may vary based on ancillary services. Buildings without fancy detailing and on-level lots will be in the lower portion of the range, while fancier detailing and sloped lots with excessive ladder work will be in the higher portion of the range.
