"TaDow's inspection found that the contractor used the wrong grade of lumber for our deck framing. It would have failed within a few years. They caught it before the decking went on."
QUALITY INSPECTIONS
Verify Quality Before You Pay
Don't trust the contractor to grade their own work. TaDow's independent inspections verify workmanship, check code compliance, and catch problems before they become permanent, and expensive.

THE PROBLEM
Poor Workmanship Gets Covered Up Before You Notice
Contractors work fast. Once drywall goes up, tile gets laid, or paint gets applied, underlying problems become invisible, and expensive to fix later. Without independent inspections at key milestones, you may never know about defects until they cause visible damage.
Most homeowners lack the expertise to evaluate construction quality. They trust the contractor's self-assessment, which is like letting a student grade their own exam.
Key Risks
- Hidden defects account for 35% of construction-related homeowner complaints
- Code violations found after completion cost 5x more to fix
- Most contractors don't invite independent inspection of their own work
- Poor workmanship often isn't visible until months after project completion

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When should inspections happen during my project?
Key inspection points include: after framing, after rough-in plumbing/electrical, before drywall, after tile installation, and before final payment. We'll help you determine the right milestones for your project.
Do I need inspections if my city does building inspections?
Municipal inspectors verify code compliance but typically spend only 15-20 minutes on site. Our inspections are more thorough, covering workmanship quality, material specifications, and details that code inspections don't cover.
What if the inspection finds problems?
We document all findings in a written report with specific correction requirements. You can share this with your contractor to ensure issues are addressed before the project progresses or final payment is made.
Can I schedule an inspection if I'm worried about my current project?
Absolutely. We offer same-week inspections for homeowners with concerns about their ongoing project. Contact us immediately if you suspect quality issues.
