Commercial Inspections

Did you know that in the State of Ohio, You don’t have to be licensed to inspect commercial properties?

That’s right!

You only have to be licensed to inspect residential homes. That is why you want to hire a Certified Commercial inspector. Being a CCPIA inspector sets us apart from other non-certified commercial inspectors.

If you’re planning to buy or sell a commercial property, it’s important to have a thorough inspection performed on the property before finalizing the sale. An inspection of the commercial property will tell you everything you need to know about its condition, safety, and maintenance. It will also give you insight into the property’s value, and a head’s up on potential issues that will need to be addressed down the road.

COMMERCIAL EXPERTISE

Up Close Home Inspections recognizes businesses, investors, and lenders’ inspection needs for the commercial buildings they may purchase lease or finance. I  provide expert assessment of commercial property condition.

YOUR REPORT

A commercial inspection relies on a walk-through survey, document review, and interviews with key personnel to determine the property’s condition. A commercial inspection report, with photos of findings, is generated describing building systems and conditions.

I pride myself on collaboration with our clients to deliver a service that meets a specific scope of work. We work closely with our clients to understand their particular transaction requirements to ensure the most reliable and thorough reporting. We will meet with you to discuss the specific needs and concerns you have related to the property and, if necessary, create a defined scope of service for your project.  For large structures, we are particularly skilled at working and communicating with multiple parties to ensure a smooth, headache-free process.

Every building is unique, and some components or systems of the property may require analysis from a specialist. If Up Close Home Inspections cannot provide this expertise in-house, I will work with you to locate the necessary professional as your consultants. For example, some commercial properties require specialty inspections. We  can assist you in locating a company that provides this type of evaluation.
