How much does a commercial property inspection cost in Tampa Bay?

Price is driven by square footage, building type, number of tenant spaces, and how many mechanical systems are on site. Call or text 727-291-3322 with the address and square footage and we'll quote the exact scope and price up front.

What size buildings do you inspect?

We focus on small and light-commercial buildings — retail and storefront bays, small office buildings, warehouse and flex space, small multi-family, and restaurant space. Call with the property type and square footage and we'll confirm fit honestly before you book.

Is this the same as a Property Condition Assessment (PCA)?

No. A full ASTM E2018 PCA is a lender-driven, engineer-led document with cost tables and reserve projections. What we provide is an independent commercial condition inspection — systems evaluated, findings documented with photos, and clear language on what needs attention. If your lender specifically requires a PCA, tell us on the call and we'll say so directly.

How fast can you schedule and how fast is the report?

Commercial due diligence runs on deadlines, so tell us your inspection-period or lease-signing date when you call. Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours of the inspection, sooner when the timeline demands it.

Do I need an inspection before signing a commercial lease?

If you're taking on a triple-net or modified-gross lease, you may be inheriting responsibility for the roof, HVAC, and parking lot. An independent condition snapshot before signing tells you what you're agreeing to maintain — and it's negotiating leverage on the terms.

Can you inspect the roof on a flat commercial building?

Yes, when access is safe. Low-slope commercial roofs are where most of the money is, so we document membrane condition, seams, ponding, penetrations, flashing, and equipment curbs, and note anywhere access or weather limited the evaluation.

Can you add environmental or specialty services?

We coordinate mold, air quality, WDO, and sewer video inspection alongside the building inspection. Phase I environmental site assessments and formal engineering evaluations are separate specialist scopes — we'll tell you when a finding warrants one.

Who is the report written for?

You. We work for the buyer, tenant, or owner who hired us — not the seller, listing broker, or landlord. The report is written so you can hand it to your attorney, lender, or contractor without translation.

Additional Service

Commercial Property Inspection in Tampa Bay

Independent commercial building inspections across St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, and the surrounding counties — retail, office, warehouse, flex, small multi-family, and restaurant space. Photo-documented condition reports on your due-diligence timeline. Call or text 727-291-3322.

Buying, leasing, or refinancing a commercial building means committing real capital to systems you can't see from the parking lot. A commercial property inspection gives you an independent, documented picture of the roof, structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and site before the money moves — and before you inherit somebody else's deferred maintenance.

Inspected is owned and operated by Jason Hebert, inspecting Tampa Bay properties since 2007, InterNACHI® Certified / CPI®, Florida licensed and insured. Same standard our residential clients get: we work for you, not the deal.

Commercial Buildings We Inspect

Retail & storefront

Street-level retail and strip-center bays: low-slope roof condition, storefront glazing and entries, HVAC package units, service panels, and ADA-relevant access observations. Most of these buildings have been re-tenanted repeatedly, so systems are a patchwork of eras.

Small office & professional suites

Single-tenant and small multi-suite office buildings — roof and roof-mounted equipment, electrical capacity for the intended use, restroom plumbing, ceiling-plenum conditions, and evidence of past water intrusion above finished ceilings.

Warehouse & flex space

Metal and tilt-wall structures: roof panels and fasteners, structural framing as visible, overhead doors and dock equipment, slab condition and cracking, high-bay lighting, and electrical service adequate for equipment loads.

Small multi-family

Duplex through small apartment buildings — roofs, unit HVAC, water heaters, panels, common-area life safety, stairs and railings, and site drainage. Often paired with 4-point and wind mitigation for the insurance side of the deal.

Restaurant & food service

Grease-laden exhaust and make-up air, hood and duct penetrations at the roof, walk-in equipment condition, floor drains, and the electrical and plumbing capacity a kitchen build-out actually demands.

Mixed-use & converted buildings

Older masonry buildings converted to new uses carry layered permits and improvised systems. We document what's actually there versus what the listing claims, and flag what needs a specialist or a permit-history review.

What We Evaluate

Roof system — low-slope membrane, modified bitumen, metal or shingle, plus penetrations, flashing, drains and rooftop equipment curbs
Structure — foundation, slab, visible framing, masonry, lintels, and evidence of movement or prior repair
Electrical — service size and condition, distribution panels, visible wiring methods, and obvious overload or code-era concerns
HVAC — packaged units, split systems, and mini-splits: age, condition, and operation as safely testable
Plumbing — supply and drainage as visible, water heaters, restrooms, backflow, and grease-related fixtures where applicable
Life safety — visible exit routes, emergency lighting, extinguishers, railings, and stair condition
Interior & tenant space — ceilings, walls, floors, doors, and evidence of leaks or deferred maintenance
Site & exterior — parking surface, curbing, walkways, grading, and how the lot sheds water in a Florida storm

Scope is confirmed per property before we book — building type, square footage, and how many systems are actually on site all change what "complete" means.

Built Around Your Due-Diligence Timeline

Commercial deals live and die on deadlines. Whether you're inside a purchase inspection period, a lender is waiting on condition documentation, or you're deciding whether to sign a triple-net lease that hands you the roof and HVAC, tell us the date on the call and we'll schedule against it. Reports typically land within 24–48 hours, with photos of every material finding so your attorney, lender, or contractor can act on them directly.

Buyers use the report to renegotiate price or ask for repairs. Tenants use it to establish baseline condition before taking on maintenance obligations. Owners use it for capital planning and insurance conversations.

Commercial Property Inspections in St. Petersburg, FL

We're based in St. Pete, and we inspect small and light-commercial buildings across the city — Central Avenue and Grand Central storefronts, EDGE District mixed-use, Gateway-area office suites, and warehouse or flex space off 28th Street N and along the Pinellas industrial corridors. Most of this stock is older masonry with flat or low-slope roofs and electrical that was updated in pieces across several tenants. Salt air, afternoon storms, and flat-roof ponding do the rest. Call with the address and square footage and we'll confirm scope.

See our St. Petersburg inspection page

Commercial Property Inspections in Tampa, FL

In Tampa we inspect commercial space from Ybor City and Seminole Heights storefronts to office suites in Westshore and warehouse and flex buildings along Adamo Drive, Causeway Boulevard, and the Port Tampa corridors. Older Ybor and Tampa Heights masonry brings lintel corrosion and layered renovations; the industrial east side brings metal buildings, dock equipment, and slab loading questions. Same approach either way — document the condition, price nothing, tell you plainly what needs attention.

This is an independent commercial condition inspection, not an ASTM E2018 Property Condition Assessment, a Phase I environmental site assessment, or a licensed engineering evaluation. Where a finding warrants one of those, we say so and refer you to the right specialist.
