Worried about an upcoming REAC inspection? Not sure what you should correct to get a passing score?

I’d love to come take a look with you and your team!

Site, building exteriors, building systems, common areas and units. These are all areas that will be inspected by myself and by your REAC inspector.

I will provide a report with pictures of all defects along with comments and the level severity.

To schedule a pre-REAC inspection: contact me at [email protected] or give me a call at 540-295-6273

Have a great week!
