About our Services

Homebuyer’s pre-closing inspections

Sometimes referred to as a "general home inspection," these are booked prior to closing on either brand new or existing housing. The inspection covers hundreds of components in the home and includes a written report clearly outlining safety concerns and the current condition of the home. The report gives buyers the information they need to make the best decision and prepare for future maintenance.

Homeseller’s pre-listing inspections

A general home inspection completed prior to listing or selling the home to give current owners an idea of maintenance items to address. A pre-listing inspection also helps inspire confidence in prospective buyers regarding the condition of the home and reduce time spent in contract negotiation because an unbiased, independent inspector has reviewed all major systems.

New construction phase/draw inspections

These inspections are completed for home owners or construction lenders during the construction process. GPI inspects the home at various stages in the building process as part of the quality assurance checks or to allow for the release of the next phase of funding. Timing and reports for these inspections are customized to fit the needs of the client.

Commercial building inspections

Many times commercial buyers will purchase property unseen. A property inspection helps determine the current condition and potential maintenance or safety issues. GPI can provide formal bidding documents or a one-on-one approach. Our typical commercial inspections are in general accordance with ASTM E 2018 standards. Following the inspection, GPI will provide a written report, complete with photos, documenting all major building systems, components and conditions.

New home builder’s warranty inspections

Most brand-new home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builder’s Warranty. Ordering an inspection before the warranty expires gives the homeowner a professionally-prepared report to go over with the builder addressing possible issues. If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home.

Employee relocation home inspections

Time is generally of the essence when a family is relocated for business purposes. Prior to beginning negotiations for purchase of a home, relocation companies generally order a home inspection to determine the need for repair and maintenance.

Field services – property assessments

Mortgage lenders, insurance companies and investors sometimes require a wide range of inspection services at different locations across the country. This can mean occupancy determination, property preservation, gathering evidence of legitimate business practices and other services. GPI is favored among many of these companies because of our courtesy and professionalism.
