Buying property without knowing what the envelope is actually doing is a bet. CSF's pre-purchase inspections go beyond a standard home inspection checklist to look specifically at the building science — moisture, materials and assemblies most likely to become expensive problems.
What's included
- Envelope-focused inspection of cladding, roofing, windows and decks
- Moisture and thermal imaging where conditions warrant it
- A plain-language report a buyer can use in negotiation
When you need this
Before closing on a residential or multifamily property, especially older buildings or ones with known regional risk factors like wood decks, stucco cladding or flat roofing.
