Typical inspection and letter of report cost $550.00 to $950.00 depending on location and scope of work. Typical repair drawings should be $200.00 to $750.00 for typical small repairs, up to a maximum of $1,500.00 for more extensive residential repair projects. Every day we are working on a variety of structural issues including horizontally cracked foundations, sink holes, sloping floors, framing restoration and remediation for structural damage, fire damage assessments for building departments C.O., snow and wind damaged roof repair, evaluation of roof to support solar panels, flood water damage, tree damage, sinkhole and water undermining problems affecting residential homes, townhouses and condominium. Whether for insurance settlement purposes, or to develop a cost analysis for repairs for real estate transactions, we understand the need for emergency inspections and we can mobilize quickly as necessary to meet your needs. Careaga strives to satisfy concerned buyers, sellers, and lenders when typical home inspectors indicate structural, insect, or water damage to foundations, wood and steel support beams, framing, and roof truss issues. Forensic analysis of horizontal and vertical foundation cracking, rebar and depth verification via sub-scanner, thermography and Flir One infrared imaging for water leakage in the basement or water infiltration through roofs can be evaluated and repair recommendations and engineered sealed design drawings are provided for necessary building permits for use by a contractor of your choice. Our forensic testing services accurately locate water intrusions so the exact failure point can be identified for accurate repairs.
Careaga has substantial experience and provides the best response time for evaluation of damaged homes, churches, and light industrial facilities due to flood, hurricane and wind damage for insurance purposes. We are familiar and experienced in many foundation distress repair methods to stabilize any foundation, we inspect and repair old stone basement walls, and certify old wood and steel beam certifictions and/or remedial recommendations and structural and framing repairs requiring building permits as required.
Our structural inspections enable you to take control of your real estate transaction by helping you: • Identify potential problems • Survey the home's condition for possible second story addition including foundation certification and structural verification of existing beams and supports, forensic rebar depth verification via sub-scanner, infrared analysis of structural issues by detecting different levels of thermal capacity and conductivity of structural components • Small diameter video scope behind wall damage assessment inspections and infrared examination • Consider possible repairs and upgrades or future interior modifications • Experience confidence and peace of mind about your investment and negotiations.
