Outdoor Structures Inspection

Decks, fences and siding age faster than most people notice, and the weak point often shows only when someone leans on it. This inspection checks the deck, stairs, fence, gates, siding and exterior hardware and reports their condition with photos. NorTech connects you with vetted local providers; pricing is flat and shown before booking.

Professional outdoor structures inspection across the Bay Area

Hosting on the deck this summer, listing a house with an older fence line, or just wanting reassurance that the exterior is sound: the outdoor structures inspection looks at the parts of a home that take the most weather, namely decks, stairs, fences, gates, siding and the fasteners that hold them together. Background-checked providers assess structural condition and photograph anything flagged, at a price you approve in advance.

What's covered

Deck and stair framing gets checked first, since a failing stair is a safety matter rather than a cosmetic one, followed by fence and gate condition, siding, and hardware and fastener wear, plus visible rot or pest damage. Entries are graded Good, Fair, Poor or N/A and photographed when flagged. The inspection reports only, and anything it flags can be booked as a separate follow-up job.

When to book outdoor structures inspection

You're hosting guests on your deck this season and want to confirm it's structurally sound first.
Your deck, fence, or siding is original to the home and has never been formally checked.
You've noticed soft spots, loose boards, or visible rot on a deck, stair, or fence.
You plan to sell and want to find what a buyer's inspector might note about the deck, fence or siding first.
You manage a rental property and want a documented exterior condition baseline.
30-Day Warranty
Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.

Frequently asked

Outdoor Structures Inspection — common questions

ZIP code and home size set the price, shown before you book. A same-day report and a recorded video walkthrough of the exterior are optional extras.

No. The provider's role ends at the report. Photos and written findings arrive together, and any repair is a separate booking you make, or not, in your own time.

A deck failure is one of the more serious backyard safety risks — structural wear isn't always visible from the surface. An annual check is a small cost against a real risk, especially on an older or heavily-used deck.

Yes. Your NorTech portal keeps it under Documents, photos of flagged items included.

Yes. An accuracy guarantee of at least 30 days backs the report; if an item deserves a second look, your provider returns at no additional charge and checks again.
