East Side and West Side: Saginaw's Two Housing Stories

Saginaw and East Saginaw were separate cities until 1889, and you can still see it in the houses. Lumber-era homes cluster in Old Saginaw City on the west side, while the east side mixes big Victorian houses with worker cottages and post-war ranches.

A Saginaw home inspector has to read both. Our home inspection covers structure, roof, electrical, plumbing and heating, with infrared to find moisture and heat loss behind old plaster.

Commercial Inspections in Saginaw and the Great Lakes Bay Region

Downtown buildings along Genesee Avenue, retail along Bay Road in Saginaw Township, light industrial near the river. Older commercial buildings here often carry flat roofs and decades of tenant changes.

We perform commercial property inspections on buildings up to 100,000 square feet for buyers, investors and lenders.

Mold Testing for Saginaw Basements and Attics

Damp basements are common near the river, and attics with bath fans that dump into the insulation instead of outdoors grow mold on the roof sheathing. You often cannot smell it from the hallway.

Our NAMP certified mold inspection uses lift tape, swab and spore trap air samples, with viable and non-viable lab analysis.

Tittabawassee and Saginaw River Flood History

When the Edenville and Sanford dams failed in May 2020, the Tittabawassee carried that water downstream into Saginaw County. Homes in low areas along the river have flood history that does not always make it into the seller's disclosure.

Water against a foundation shows up later as cracked block, rusted fasteners and sagging floors. A structure and foundation inspection tells you how far the damage goes.

Rental Houses and Multi-Family Property in Saginaw

Duplexes, converted Victorians and small apartment buildings make up a big share of the city's rental stock. Each unit needs its own look at heat, wiring and egress.

Our multi-family inspection covers every unit plus the shared roof, foundation and mechanical systems.

Saginaw Investor Inspection Programs

Purchase prices in Saginaw draw investors from all over the state, many buying through the county land bank or at auction. The repair budget is the whole deal.

An investor inspection plan keeps reports consistent across every property, so you know which rehab to start first.

Loan-Program Inspections for Saginaw County Buyers

First-time buyers in the region often use FHA, VA or USDA financing, and rural property outside the city can qualify for RD loans.

Our inspections are VA, FHA, RD, USDA, MICHDA and HUD compliant, and we perform the VA NPMA-33 wood destroying insect inspection.

Same-Day Findings for Great Lakes Bay Closings

Bay City, Midland and Saginaw all move on the same tight contingency windows. Getting the report the same day gives you room to negotiate.

Report Sent Within the Hour

Your report arrives within an hour of the inspection.

Thermal Imaging Included Free

Lab-Backed Mold Results
