WHO WE ARE

Based in Newark, Delaware, we provide comprehensive flooring inspections for both residential and commercial properties. Our service area includes all of Delaware, Northeast Maryland, Southeast Pennsylvania, and Southern New Jersey.

WHAT WE DO

Manufacturers, property managers, hospitality groups, home builders, installers, and homeowners all benefit from independent, unbiased flooring inspections. Our evaluations include detailed observations, industry‑standard field testing, comprehensive photo documentation, and conclusions tailored to your needs—giving you the clarity to make confident decisions. Upon request, inspection reports can also be customized to include recommended corrective actions.

WHAT SETS US APART

While many flooring inspectors come from sales or installation backgrounds, a significant percentage of warranty‑related disputes originate from maintenance and post‑installation care. My expertise is grounded in the cleaning, maintenance, and restoration disciplines of the floor‑covering industry, providing a diagnostic perspective that differs from traditional installation‑centric evaluation methods. Over the past 32 years, I have been entrusted with the maintenance and restorative care of a broad spectrum of flooring materials, giving me extensive field experience with performance characteristics, service‑life variables, and failure patterns across multiple product categories.
