FAQ

First, there should be no chipping, peeling, or flaking paint anywhere on the inside, outside, or basement. Secondly, we complete the dust wipes, which properties typically fail because of the following:

• Wooden Windows — With wooden windows, we are required to take two swipes per room. One of those swipes is from the window well, which must be spotlessly clean. The window well is the area the window sash closes down on top of. You have to lift the window up to clean the well.
• Basement Floors — Unfinished basement floors have a very high propensity to fail the dust swipes. Cleaning them is an option, but it’s tough to get them clean. In most cases, we recommend painting the floors if they are raw concrete.
• After a Rehab — During a rehab, lead dust flies everywhere. It’s really important to have the property spotlessly clean. Also, when a tenant moves out, the property needs to be cleaned.

The duration of an inspection can vary based on the type of service requested, but we aim to provide quick and efficient assessments.

Many customers have praised our professionalism, thoroughness, and the ease of the inspection process. We encourage you to check our testimonials for more feedback.
