Most home inspectors avoid commercial work because it requires broader systems knowledge and more documentation discipline. Troy has the experience and methodology to deliver commercial inspections that hold up under scrutiny.

Every commercial inspection produces a detailed Spectora report with photos, system descriptions, and documented deficiencies — formatted for lenders, attorneys, and ownership groups.
Complex Systems Experience
Commercial-grade electrical service, three-phase systems, commercial HVAC, rooftop units, and industrial plumbing — Troy has evaluated them throughout the Golden Triangle.
Lender-Ready Documentation
Reports formatted and documented to satisfy SBA, conventional commercial lenders, and investor due diligence requirements when property condition documentation is required.
