23+ Years of Building Envelope Experience
A stucco or EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the exterior cladding system. Using moisture meters, wall detection equipment, and visual inspection techniques, we identify potential moisture intrusion, concealed damage, installation deficiencies, and conditions that may lead to future problems. Ideal for homebuyers, property owners, attorneys, and real estate professionals seeking a better understanding of the building's condition.
A stone veneer inspection evaluates the condition and installation of manufactured or natural stone cladding systems. We assess flashing details, drainage provisions, moisture management, attachment methods, and visible signs of distress or deterioration. Whether purchasing a property or investigating a suspected problem, our inspection helps identify deficiencies before they become costly repairs.
We provide comprehensive building envelope inspections for residential, commercial, multi-family, and institutional properties. Our evaluations focus on the interaction of all exterior building components, including cladding systems, roofing, windows, doors, flashings, and weather barriers. Whether you are purchasing, managing, constructing, or maintaining a property, our inspections provide valuable information to help protect your investment.
Independent third-party inspections during new construction, cladding installation, and building envelope repairs help identify deficiencies before they become costly failures. We provide on-site quality assurance reviews for stucco, EIFS, stone veneer, weather barriers, flashing, windows, doors, and related exterior components to help ensure work is completed in accordance with manufacturer requirements and industry standards.
Hidden moisture intrusion and exterior cladding defects can exist long before visible damage appears. Our specialized stucco, EIFS, stone veneer, other claddings, and moisture intrusion inspections help identify potential problems early, allowing homeowners, buyers, and property managers to make informed decisions and avoid costly repairs.
Many of the issues we identify are not visible during a standard home inspection.
With more than 23 years of experience inspecting stucco, EIFS, stone veneer, other claddings, and moisture intrusion issues, we provide specialized expertise that goes beyond a standard home inspection.
We do not perform repairs. Our only objective is to accurately identify conditions, document findings, and provide clear recommendations without any conflict of interest.
Our reports are thorough, easy to understand, and often delivered within 24 hours. You'll receive clear documentation, photographs, and practical recommendations to help guide your next steps.
Using professional moisture meters, probing techniques, and building-envelope inspection methods, we identify hidden moisture intrusion and cladding defects that may not be visible during a routine inspection.
