Light Commercial Inspections
A general condition assessment for small commercial and mixed-use buildings across San Luis Obispo County. We evaluate the visible structural, exterior, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in a non-invasive visual inspection — giving buyers, owners, and tenants a clear, factual picture of the building's condition without the bias of a repair sales pitch.
Small Commercial and Mixed-Use Buildings
We keep commercial inspections general and focused on the building's visible major systems rather than a single property type. Whether you are buying, leasing, or maintaining a small commercial or mixed-use building, the goal is the same: an honest, documented snapshot of condition you can act on. Because California does not license home or commercial inspectors, the quality of the inspection depends entirely on the person performing it — which is why every evaluation here is done by the owner.
What's Included
Your commercial inspection is a non-invasive visual evaluation of every accessible major system, documented with photographs:

Light Commercial Inspection FAQs
What size of commercial property do you inspect?
We inspect small commercial and mixed-use buildings throughout San Luis Obispo County. The focus is on smaller-scale properties where a thorough, non-invasive visual evaluation is appropriate. For very large or highly specialized facilities, we can discuss whether the scope is the right fit.
How is a light commercial inspection different from a home inspection?
The method is similar — a non-invasive visual evaluation with photo documentation — but the systems differ. Commercial buildings often have different electrical service, rooftop HVAC, flat roof membranes, and egress and accessibility considerations that a residential inspection does not fully address.
Who typically orders a commercial inspection?
Buyers evaluating a purchase, owners planning maintenance or a sale, and tenants reviewing a building before signing a lease. Each uses the same factual report differently, whether to negotiate, budget, or simply understand the condition.
Do you inspect the HVAC and roof on commercial buildings?
Yes, as part of the visible, accessible systems. We evaluate the condition of rooftop or interior heating and cooling equipment and the visible roof membrane, drains, flashings, and parapets. We document what we can see without invasive demolition.
How long does a commercial inspection take?
It depends on the size, age, and complexity of the building. A small commercial property may take a few hours; larger or older buildings take longer. We confirm the expected time when you book based on your specific property.
Can I use the report for a lease negotiation or purchase decision?
Yes. The report is designed to give you a clear, factual picture of the building's condition so you can negotiate price or lease terms, request repairs, or simply make an informed decision. It is informational and not a guarantee of future performance.
