Our Inspection Services
At State Building Inspection Services, we provide professional third-party inspections for builders, lenders, realtors, and home buyers throughout Alabama.
We offer simple flat-rate pricing of $150 per inspection.
Flexible Pricing Available: While we offer flat-rate pricing for standard inspections, larger or multi-phase projects will qualify for customized or bundled pricing. We are happy to work with clients to develop a fair, project-specific fee based on scope, schedule, and inspection requirements.

Rental Certificates of Occupancy
A rental certificate of occupancy (CO) is an official document issued by a local government or building department certifying that a property is safe, habitable, and compliant with building codes and zoning regulations for tenant occupancy. It is required to legally rent out a property, often in cases of new construction, major renovations, or changes in use.
Lightning Affidavits
Lightning affidavits are required by insurance companies to verify lightning damage to a property. These documents help confirm that damage was caused by a lightning event and support insurance claims and underwriting requirements.
Lightning affidavits and itemized quotes will be provided by University Electric, Inc.

We provide detailed inspection reports delivered directly to you. Each report includes clear findings and professional documentation to support builders, lenders, realtors, home buyers, and sellers throughout their project or transaction.
