Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a townhouse and condo inspection?

Townhouses typically involve more owner maintenance responsibility including roofs, exterior walls, and sometimes foundations depending on HOA rules. Condos usually have more limited owner responsibility. We tailor the inspection to your specific ownership structure and HOA requirements.

Do you inspect the roof on a townhouse?

It depends on your HOA structure. Some townhouses have individually owned roofs (we inspect), while others have HOA-maintained roofs (we visually observe for obvious issues). We'll clarify this based on your specific situation.

What if I notice issues with party walls?

We thoroughly inspect all party walls from your side for cracks, water damage, fire separation integrity, and sound transmission concerns. If issues originate from the neighbor's unit, you'll need to coordinate repairs with them and potentially the HOA.

Can you tell me what the HOA covers vs. what I cover?

We provide general guidance based on typical townhouse structures, but the definitive answer is in your HOA's CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions). We strongly recommend reviewing these documents with attention to maintenance responsibilities.

Do you inspect attached garages?

Yes, if you have an attached garage as part of your unit, we inspect it thoroughly including door operation, safety features, electrical, storage areas, and connections to living space.

What about soundproofing between units?

We inspect party walls for proper construction and can discuss sound transmission concerns. However, actual soundproofing performance testing requires specialized acoustic testing beyond a standard inspection scope.
