Frequently Asked Questions

Do you inspect both units or just one?

We always inspect BOTH units completely. Each unit gets a full evaluation of all systems, components, and living areas. Inspecting only one unit would miss critical issues affecting your investment value and potential rental income.

What if one unit is tenant-occupied?

We can work around tenant schedules and coordinate access with proper notice. However, we need full access to both units for a complete inspection. If access is limited, we'll note uninspected areas in the report.

How do you verify utilities are properly separated?

We trace electrical panels, water meters, gas meters, and confirm each unit has separate service connections. Proper utility separation is crucial for accurate tenant billing and avoiding disputes.

Do you provide repair cost estimates for investors?

We identify and describe all issues found but don't provide specific repair cost estimates. We can recommend local contractors for detailed quotes on major repairs or improvements.

What about rental property code requirements?

We inspect to general safety standards and note obvious code violations, but we're not code enforcement. Local rental licensing may have additional requirements - check with your city for specific rental property codes.

How long does a duplex inspection take?

Duplex inspections typically take 3-5 hours depending on size, age, and condition. It's more than twice as long as a single unit because we're thoroughly inspecting two complete living spaces plus shared systems.
