Professional outdoor structures inspection across the Bay Area

Whether you're hosting on the deck this summer, listing a home with an older fence line, or just want to know your exterior structures are sound, an outdoor structures inspection checks the parts of a home that take the most weather and wear — decks, stairs, fences, gates, siding, and the hardware holding it all together. NorTech connects you with background-checked, vetted local providers who check structural condition and document anything flagged with a photo, at a flat rate you approve before booking.

What's covered

Your matched provider checks deck and stair structural condition (a real safety item, not just cosmetic), fence and gate condition, siding condition, and hardware and fastener wear, plus visible signs of rot or pest damage. Every item is rated Good, Fair, Poor, or N/A with a photo attached to anything flagged. This is an inspection, not a repair visit — anything flagged can be booked as its own 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're selling your home and want to know what a buyer's inspector might flag before they do.
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.

No — this is an inspection only. You get a written report with photos, and decide separately whether and when to book any repair.

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 — saved to your NorTech portal under Documents, with photos of anything flagged.

Yes — a 30-day report accuracy guarantee applies. If something in your report needs a second look, your provider returns and makes it right at no additional charge.
