Home Inspections
Paragon Inspections conducts comprehensive residential evaluations identifying structural, mechanical, and safety issues. Our certified inspectors examine electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation conditions while providing maintenance prioritization guidance. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic documentation to support informed purchasing decisions.
Commercial Inspections
We perform ASTM-compliant commercial property assessments for investment properties of all sizes. Our reports include condition analyses of structural components, mechanical systems, and safety features with optional infrared diagnostics. Tailored reporting packages are delivered within 10-15 business days with on-site presentation options available.
Infrared Inspections
Our infrared thermography service detects hidden moisture intrusion, energy inefficiencies, and electrical hotspots. Using specialized FLIR cameras, we identify temperature variances that indicate potential problems in building envelopes and mechanical systems. This non-invasive technology enhances standard inspection findings for comprehensive property evaluations.
New Home Inspections
We inspect newly constructed homes during final building phases to identify warranty issues and construction defects. Our assessments cover code compliance, system functionality, and finish quality, providing builders with detailed repair lists to complete before final handover to homeowners.
Pre-Delivery Inspections
Paragon conducts pre-delivery inspections for homes under builder warranty periods. We identify required repairs before final inspections, creating comprehensive punch lists that help coordinate contractor visits and ensure complete issue resolution prior to warranty expiration.
