Home Inspections
Buying, selling, or evaluating a home shouldn’t feel like a gamble.
A standard home inspection gives you checkboxes.
A WL3 inspection gives you
certainty, leverage, and long-term protection.
With 16+ years of architectural and construction experience, we see what others miss — and we turn those findings into real dollars saved or real value gained.
REAL-WORLD FINANCIAL IMPACT
Buyers Save $12,500–$25,000 on Average
Through negotiation leverage and correctly identifying costly deficiencies.
Sellers Increase Sale Price by 3–7% With a Pre-Listing WL3 Report
On a $600,000 home, that's $18,000–$42,000 more.
Investors Avoid Hidden Repair Traps of $18,000–$45,000
Especially on renovated flips where cosmetics hide real problems.
WL3 Clients Typically Receive a 20×–50× Return
For every $1 spent on an inspection, clients save or earn $7–$50.
This is not an expense.
It’s
financial protection.
WHAT A WL3 ARCHITECTURAL INSPECTION INCLUDES
We go beyond surface-level observations and evaluate the design intent, construction sequencing, structural behavior, and long-term performance of the building.
WL3 combines architectural expertise with InterNACHI® certification — blending deep structural understanding with nationally standardized inspection practices. This gives clients the advantage of both worlds: the precision of a designer and the accountability of a certified home inspector.
Our review includes:
- Structural load paths, foundation behavior & framing integrity
- Building envelope & waterproofing performance
- Roof transitions, tie-ins & failure patterns
- HVAC condition, lifespan indicators & design suitability
- Electrical capacity, safety, code-level deficiencies
- Plumbing system integrity, leaks, pressure & risk points
- Attic ventilation, insulation quality & moisture mapping
- Thermal imaging (where applicable)
- Drone roof inspection (where allowed)
- Moisture intrusion diagnostics
- Clear explanations, photo documentation, and severity ratings
Every finding includes what it is, why it matters, potential consequences, and recommended next steps.
TYPICAL HOME INSPECTION vs. WL3 ARCHITECTURAL INSPECTION
Typical Home Inspector:
(What most buyers & sellers think they're getting)
- 1–2 hour walkthrough
- Basic checklist format
- Notes obvious defects only
- Limited attic/roof analysis
- No structural evaluation
- No understanding of design intent
- No thermal imaging (unless upsold)
- No drone analysis
- Minimal negotiation value
- Generic report—often hard to interpret
- May miss deeply hidden issues
Average Negotiation Impact: <$5,000
Risk of Missed Issues: Moderate to High
True Value: Information only (not leverage)
WL3 Architectural Inspection:
(What you actually need to protect your investment)
- 3–5 hour comprehensive evaluation
- Architectural-level analysis of structure & systems
- Identification of hidden and future-cost failures
- Thermal imaging where applicable
- Drone roof inspection for hard-to-access areas
- Full moisture mapping
- Analysis of construction quality and craftsmanship
- Mechanical, electrical, plumbing load & lifespan assessment
- Clear severity rankings with real-world cost implications
- Tailored guidance for negotiation or sale positioning
- Report designed for financial decisions, not just documentation
Average Negotiation Impact: $12,500–$25,000
Sale Price Increase (Pre-Listing): 3–7%
Risk of Missed Issues: Extremely Low
True Value: Leverage, protection, and ROI

Real Financial Impact Backed by Architectural Expertise
These metrics show the measurable value WL3 brings to every inspection.
94%
Of WL3 clients either save money or increase their sale price as a direct result of our inspection findings.
Backed by negotiation savings + listing improvements.
$12,500–$25,000
Average dollar amount buyers save in seller concessions after using a WL3 architectural-level inspection.
This crushes the national average of ~$5k from typical inspectors.
3-7%
Typical increase in final sale price for sellers who get a WL3 pre-listing inspection.
On a $600k home, that’s $18k–$42k earned from a <$1k investment.
Testimonials
Our clients consistently save money, increase their sale price, and avoid hidden risks because of the depth and accuracy of our inspections. These testimonials highlight the real financial value WL3 brings to every home evaluation.
“WL3 saved us almost twenty grand — no exaggeration.”
We were under contract on a home in Mesa that looked perfect on the surface, but the WL3 inspection uncovered a failing roof transition, moisture behind a bathroom wall, and an HVAC system on its last leg. William documented everything clearly with photos and explanations we could actually understand.
Because of the report, we negotiated
$19,700 in seller concessions and avoided what would have been a huge financial mistake.
Karen L., Mesa AZ
“Their report made our home the easiest choice on the market.”
We decided to get a pre-listing WL3 inspection before listing our home in Chandler. William found a few minor issues — loose roof tiles, a missing GFCI, and one grading correction — all under $1,000 to fix.
The transparency gave buyers confidence, and we ended up accepting an offer
4.8% above asking, which translated to
$36,000 more than we expected. Hands down the smartest move we made during the sale.
David & Michelle R., Chandler AZ
“This inspection saved me from a $41k disaster.”
As an investor, I’ve used dozens of inspectors, but nobody comes close to WL3’s level of detail. William identified foundation displacement, sewer line issues, and concealed water damage that other inspectors would have missed entirely. The renovation budget would have exploded.
Because of their findings, I walked away and bought a clean property later that month. WL3 isn’t just an inspection — it’s risk management.
