Why You Need a Commercial Inspection Before Leasing Your Dreem Office or Retail Space (Especially in Phoenix!)

Commercial Inspections

Congratulations! You’re a new business owner, or you’re ready to take your existing business to the next level with a fresh office/retail space. Here in Phoenix, the commercial real estate market is booming, offering exciting options for your growing team. But before you sign that lease agreement and get swept up in the new digs, there’s a crucial step many new business owners overlook: a Commercial Inspection.

At AmeriSpec Inspection Services, we understand the thrill of finding the perfect office or retail space. We also know that unexpected issues with your new space can quickly turn that excitement into a financial headache. A commercial inspection acts as your eyes and ears, uncovering potential problems that could impact your business down the line.


Commercial Inspections Include:

  • Site characteristics (parking, landscaping and utilities)

  • Structural frame and building envelope

  • Roof surface

  • Mechanical and electrical systems

  • Plumbing systems

  • Heating systems

  • Air conditioning and ventilation systems

  • Vertical transportation

  • Safety and fire protection

  • Interior elements

  • Document review

  • Opinions of probable costs

  • Recommendations

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) assessments


Here’s why a commercial inspection from AmeriSpec is essential for any Arizona business or lessee:

  • Avoid Hidden Costs: Let’s face it, surprise repairs are no one’s friend. A commercial inspection can identify problems with the building’s electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, roof, parking and structure. Knowing about these issues upfront allows you to negotiate repairs with the landlord or budget for them accordingly.

  • Ensure Safety and Security: A poorly maintained building can pose a serious threat to your employees and customers. Our inspectors look for visual defects, violations and safety hazards like faulty wiring, leaking pipes, or structural concerns. Peace of mind knowing your workspace is safe is priceless.

  • Informed Decision Making: A commercial inspection provides a detailed report on the property’s condition. This empowers you to make informed decisions about the lease agreement. Armed with this knowledge, you can negotiate terms or factor in potential repair costs before committing.

  • Long-Term Savings: Catching minor issues early on can prevent from escalating into major problems later. A leaky roof might seem like a small annoyance today, but left unchecked, it could lead to extensive water damage and costly repairs down the road.

  • Peace of Mind: There’s no substitute for knowing your office or retail space is sound and ready for business. A commercial inspection from AmeriSpec gives you the peace of mind to focus on running your business, not worrying about potential problems lurking beneath the surface.

Here at AmeriSpec, our certified inspectors have extensive experience with the unique demands of Arizona commercial properties. We’ll provide a comprehensive inspection report that details the condition of the building, giving you the information you need to make confident decisions.

Don’t let your dream office turn into a financial nightmare. Contact AmeriSpec Inspection Services today and schedule your commercial inspection. It’s an investment that will pay off for years to come.
