Recent commercial work
Real buildings. Real findings.
Two recent jobs for Honolulu associations and their property manager. Photos and thermal images come straight from our reports.
Window integrity survey · Honolulu high-rise
Jalousie windows, four units, floors 3 to 19
An association board needed to know which windows could still be secured against the weather. We inspected every louver, frame, operator, and screen in four units and tied each finding to a photo.
4Units inspected
56Photos in the appendix
10Safety-hazard photos flagged
- Cross-unit findings matrix so the board could compare units side by side
- Safety hazards called out where a window couldn’t be closed against weather
- Board-ready property summary plus a full photo appendix
Thermal water-intrusion study · Honolulu mid-rise
Pinpointing where storm water was getting in
Storm weather was driving water into two stacked units and damaging the interiors. Thermal imaging and a full photo record pinpointed the exact entry points at the window sills and joints. Knowing where the water gets in let us isolate the problem, build a plan of attack, and point the association to the right trade to make the repair.
6Water-entry points found
14Thermal frames
88Photos documented
- Entry points confirmed three ways: visible damage, thermal cool zones, and the owner’s storm video
- A plan of attack in priority order, so the right trade fixes the source first
- Interior repairs sequenced after the leak is sealed, with a follow-up scan after the next big rain
