Path B · Residential
An in-depth, engineering-grade visual evaluation of readily accessible systems—explained clearly on site and delivered in a prioritized report you can hand straight to your agent for repair requests.
The Caliber difference
Backed by college degrees in Engineering and Safety, along with over 24 years of engineering, operations, industrial equipment, and high-pressure boiler inspection experience—including systems operating at some of the highest pressures in the world—we view systems with a level of technical precision standard checklists can't match. We apply the same precision used on projects for the U.S. Military and Fortune 500 companies to identify observable material defects across readily accessible systems and components, and to document visible conditions, deferred maintenance, and components nearing the end of their typical service life.
Services
A comprehensive, roof-to-foundation evaluation. We document the observable condition of the roofing, structural components, electrical panels, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Every finding is photographed and ranked by severity—safety hazards, major defects, and standard maintenance—so you know exactly what to negotiate and what to budget for.
View service
Builders move fast, which often leads to corner-cutting. We execute phase inspections during the build to catch structural and mechanical errors before the drywall goes up. If you are already in the home, we conduct a comprehensive warranty walk before your builder's 12-month coverage expires.

Reduce surprises at the closing table and protect your asking price. We document visible conditions so you can address them before the buyer's inspector does. Listing with a clean, professional inspection report in hand builds immediate trust with buyers.

Inspection scope
In accordance with the Illinois Home Inspector License Act and Standards of Practice, all inspections performed by Caliber Property Inspection LLC are strictly visual, non-invasive evaluations of readily accessible systems and components as they exist at the time of the inspection. Inspectors are not permitted to dismantle equipment, move personal property or furniture, lift carpeting, open walls or ceilings, excavate soil, or perform destructive testing. Concealed, latent, or intermittent defects that are not visibly accessible at the time of inspection cannot be observed or guaranteed.
Specialized diagnostic services (such as Thermal Imaging, Indoor Air Quality sampling, Radon monitoring, and Sewer Scopes) provide supplemental non-invasive data to help identify potential risk indicators beyond standard visual observation.

Add any diagnostic to a commercial or residential inspection, or book it on its own. Findings merge into one report.
High-resolution aerial survey of steep, tall or fragile roofs without foot traffic.
D-02Infrared surface scans for signs of moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical.
D-03Camera inspection of the main lateral for roots, bellies, breaks and offsets, coordinated with a specialized partner.
D-04Visual evaluation of the accessible shell, equipment, bonding and barrier safety.
