PBJ looks closely at the accessible systems and components that shape a property's story. The inspection is designed to help you understand condition, maintenance, and concerns before you move forward.
- Structure and visible foundation conditions
- Roof covering, drainage, and accessible roof structure
- Exterior surfaces, grading, windows, doors, and attached features

- Electrical service, panels, visible wiring, and fixtures

Your report turns findings into a next step
You receive organized observations, photos, and plain-language context. The report helps separate urgent concerns from maintenance and future planning, giving you better questions for your agent, seller, builder, or contractor.
Using inspection findings to negotiate
An inspection does not make the decision for you. It gives you evidence to discuss repairs, credits, timing, or a change in terms with the people involved in the transaction. Your agent and other advisors can help with the negotiation itself.
