Condo Inspections

Evolve’s condo inspection covers the HVAC system when the owner is responsible, plumbing inside the unit, interior electrical systems, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, functional appliances, and balconies. The inspector documents observable conditions and provides a comprehensive report within 24 hours.

A condo inspector checks the accessible components within your unit, including plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC when applicable, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, appliances, and balconies. Evolve focuses on visible conditions and material defects found during the inspection, rather than predicting future problems.

The main difference is responsibility for the property. A condo inspection focuses on the individual unit, while exterior elements and common areas may belong to the HOA. Evolve recommends checking the HOA’s legal boundaries so you know what the inspection covers.

Generally, no. Condo owners may not be responsible for the building exterior, so Evolve’s standard condo inspection concentrates on the unit itself. Check your HOA documents to determine responsibility, then arrange a separate roof or exterior inspection when appropriate.

A standard condo inspection does not focus on common areas such as swimming pools or sports courts because these areas may fall under HOA responsibility. Evolve recommends reviewing the legal boundaries of your unit with the HOA before scheduling additional inspections.

Evolve offers infrared thermal imaging as a specialty service for detecting temperature patterns linked to moisture intrusion. Humberto Suarez holds Level II and Level III Electrical Thermography credentials, giving Evolve specialized expertise for investigating areas where hidden moisture may require further evaluation.

Findings can include plumbing defects, electrical concerns, HVAC issues, damaged walls or ceilings, flooring problems, faulty windows or doors, appliance defects, balcony concerns, and signs of moisture intrusion. The actual findings depend on the unit’s age, condition, maintenance, and construction.

Yes. A building inspection does not tell you everything about your individual condo. Evolve examines the accessible components within your unit, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, walls, ceilings, windows, doors, appliances, floors, and balconies before you close.

Yes. Evolve provides a comprehensive inspection report within 24 hours. Buyers can use documented findings when discussing the purchase price, requesting repairs or remediation, making an offer, or deciding whether the property remains worth pursuing before closing.

Possibly. Roof and building components may fall under HOA responsibility and outside a standard unit inspection. Evolve offers separate roof inspections, so buyers can arrange additional evaluation when the roof, exterior, or another building component needs closer attention.

Yes. New construction can still have installation or workmanship concerns. An independent inspection gives you another set of trained eyes before closing. Evolve also offers 11-month warranty inspections, helping homeowners identify potential issues before the builder’s warranty period ends.
