Exterior Home Inspections

A Thorough, Systematic Exterior Inspection Process

Many exterior home inspection companies focus on speed rather than accuracy. Our approach is different. We take the time to perform a detailed and systematic evaluation of your property’s exterior to ensure long-term durability and performance. Each inspection includes a comprehensive assessment of stucco, stone cladding, brickwork, and EIFS systems, allowing us to identify damage or wear that is often overlooked during standard inspections.

Our exterior inspection process is designed to uncover hidden issues such as water penetration, structural movement, material deterioration, and signs of long-term exposure to harsh weather conditions. By identifying these concerns early, property owners can avoid costly repairs, extend the lifespan of exterior materials, and protect the overall value of their investment.

Precision Through Advanced Drone Technology

To safely and accurately inspect hard-to-reach areas such as roofs, chimneys, parapets, soffits, and upper-level masonry, we utilize high-resolution drone technology. This advanced inspection method captures detailed imagery that reveals small cracks, loose materials, failing joints, and early indicators of moisture intrusion that may not be visible from ground level.

By combining hands-on expertise with modern drone inspection tools, we deliver a higher level of accuracy and insight than conventional exterior inspections. Learn more about our commercial exterior inspection services here.

What We Look for During an Exterior Home Inspection

During a professional exterior evaluation, our inspectors carefully assess all visible exterior components of the home. This includes checking siding materials for cracks, moisture damage, or installation issues that could affect long-term durability. We also review roof edges, soffits, fascia, and drainage systems to ensure proper water flow away from the structure.

Special attention is given to exterior finishes such as stucco, stone, brick, and EIFS systems, as these materials can hide moisture intrusion if not installed or maintained correctly. We look for early warning signs such as staining, surface separation, or sealant failure that may lead to costly repairs if ignored.

A detailed exterior home inspection helps homeowners and buyers make informed decisions by identifying risks before they become major structural concerns. Our goal is to provide clear, honest findings so you can protect your investment and plan maintenance with confidence.
