Inspections That Protect Capital and Value

Scott Harris, owner and chief inspector of Propertyexam, personally leads every commercial property inspection in Washington. He is a Certified Master Inspector®, General Contractor, graduate engineer, and Washington State licensed inspector (#864) with more than 35 years of experience and thousands of commercial inspections completed. As the author of Commercial Property Maintenance and an internationally experienced facility maintenance expert, Scott works as more than a commercial property inspector. He looks past the defect list to what each finding means for your budget. Your report includes immediate and short-term cost projections for repairs, deferred maintenance, and safety items, plus a five-year outlook of predictable expenses. That makes it a practical tool for capital management and value preservation, whether you own a single storefront in Vancouver or a multi-building apartment complex in Spokane.

What Washington Throws at Commercial Buildings

Wet marine winters, seismic risk, and dry east-side extremes each wear on buildings in different ways.

Rain, Moss, and Clogged Drains

Months of western Washington rain test roofs, parapets, and EIFS cladding. Moss and blocked drains speed up the damage.

Earthquake Readiness

Older brick and unreinforced masonry buildings carry added seismic risk. Reports note visible concerns and when to call a structural engineer.

East-Side Snow and Summer Heat

Spokane winters pile weight on flat roofs, while Yakima and Tri-Cities summer heat pushes rooftop HVAC units hard.

Clean Buildings Compliance

Washington’s Clean Buildings Performance Standard applies to many buildings over 20,000 square feet. PCAs flag aging HVAC and controls for budgeting.

Commercial Inspection Services Across Washington

Buyers, owners, lenders, and agents in Washington commercial real estate start with a written proposal that includes the price and finish with a report they can act on.

Commercial Property Condition Assessments

ASTM E2018-referenced PCAs that document physical deficiencies, safety concerns, opinions of probable cost, and a five-year expense outlook.

Pre-Purchase Commercial Inspections

A buyer-focused due diligence inspection of the structure, envelope, and systems that gives you real repair numbers for negotiation.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Level III thermography reveals hidden moisture, overheating electrical components, and heat loss without opening walls or disrupting tenants.

Property Exam Corp (Scott Harris) was polite, responsive and punctual. The detailed and attentive property inspection was excellent. I am very glad I had Scott on my side. It was the best money I could have spent: to REALLY know what I was looking at.

Excellent service. Extremely professional, flexible, and thorough, but most importantly knowledgeable. Scott absolutely knows what he's looking at, what to keep an eye out for, and knows his stuff. Definitely goes above and beyond. Received the report just a few hours after the inspection, and what extremely detailed. Can't recommend his services enough!

I worked with Scott on a couple of projects related to a roof and a garage door installation. Scott was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and easy to schedule with. I really enjoyed working with him, and expect to work more with him in the future.
