Buying or leasing a commercial property is a major investment. Understand the building’s condition before you commit — and budget with confidence.
For a business owner or investor, a commercial property is more than a building — it’s where your business operates and a significant part of your balance sheet. Roof problems, aging mechanical systems, or structural concerns can disrupt operations and strain budgets.
ProChek provides inspections for small commercial buildings and mixed-use properties, covering the building’s roof, structure and foundation, electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling, and interior and exterior components.
Every inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, with 20 years of inspection experience and more than 12 years as a builder. You’ll receive a clear, detailed report with photos documenting the building’s condition and concerns.
Here are the key areas Darryl evaluates on small commercial and mixed-use properties.
Roof coverings, flashing, gutters, and drainage — including low-slope roofs common on commercial buildings.
Foundation, framing, and visible signs of movement, settlement, or water intrusion.
Electrical service and distribution, plumbing supply and drains, fixtures, and water heaters.
Heating and cooling equipment serving the building, tested for operation where accessible.
Understanding a commercial building’s condition before you buy or lease helps you negotiate with confidence, plan for repairs and replacements, and avoid surprises that affect your business.
For mixed-use properties, an inspection gives you a clear picture of both the commercial and residential spaces, so you can plan for the needs of every part of the building.
Darryl’s construction background helps him look past cosmetic updates to the condition of the building itself — and explain what he finds in plain language.
