California's deck and balcony inspection laws have created new compliance obligations for property owners, property managers, and HOAs across the state. Whether you own an apartment complex, manage a condominium association, or oversee a large multifamily portfolio, SB 721 and SB 326 require that elevated exterior elements be inspected by a qualified professional on a defined schedule. Missing those deadlines carries real consequences, including fines, liability exposure, and the risk of preventable structural failures.
Deck and Balcony Inspectors provides thorough, code-compliant inspections for properties throughout Southern California. Our team delivers detailed reports that meet the specific requirements of state law and give property owners and managers the documentation they need to stay compliant and protect their residents.

What to Expect From an Inspection by Deck and Balcony Inspectors
Our inspection process is designed to be thorough, efficient, and minimally disruptive to your residents and property operations. When you work with our team, here is what you can expect:
- An initial consultation to review your property's scope, unit count, and inspection timeline requirements under applicable state law.
- A scheduled site visit conducted by a qualified inspector with experience in California's SB 721 and SB 326 compliance frameworks.
- A visual and physical inspection of all applicable elevated exterior elements, including balconies, decks, stairways, landings, and associated waterproofing and load-bearing components.
- Identification of any conditions showing signs of deterioration, moisture damage, connection failures, or code concerns that require attention.
- A detailed written inspection report that documents findings, includes supporting photographs, and meets the reporting requirements established under California law.
- Clear communication about any elements that require repair, further evaluation, or immediate safety attention.
Our reports give property owners and managers the documentation they need to satisfy compliance requirements, communicate findings to their boards or stakeholders, and make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance.
