About Imperial Pro Inspection
Imperial Pro Inspection is a commercial property inspection firm based in Sugar Land, Texas, in Fort Bend County southwest of Houston. Neil Arnold founded the firm in 2018, and he holds Texas Real Estate Commission Professional Inspector license 23450, which we confirmed as active on the TREC license search. The firm says it is veteran-owned.
The firm runs two brands. Its residential work trades as Rule Your Home, and its Google Business Profile is listed as a home inspector with mostly homebuyer reviews. Commercial work runs through a separate site, commercialpropertyinspectionstx.com, built around property condition assessments for buyers, owners, tenants and lenders.
Know what kind of firm this is before you order. Imperial Pro is an inspector-led PCA provider, not an engineering firm. No professional engineer is named on its site, and it lists structural P.E. and MEP engineering reviews as add-ons rather than as part of the base scope. That can be the right fit for smaller assets and tight budgets. If your lender requires the PCA to be performed or signed by an engineer, confirm that before you engage.
Services Offered
Property Condition Assessment
Imperial Pro performs PCAs to the ASTM E2018 baseline. Its published scope has four steps:
- Document review: building records, maintenance logs, prior inspection reports, roof warranties and building plans, plus interviews with owners and property managers
- Walk-through survey: structure, roofing, exterior envelope, parking and flatwork, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, life safety and site conditions
- Remaining useful life and CAPEX: estimated remaining useful life for major systems and reserve tables where the transaction calls for them
- Property condition report: photo documentation, deficiency narratives, an immediate repair table and cost-to-cure figures, delivered in 48 to 72 hours
Drone roof surveys and infrared thermal imaging are included in the base fee. The firm says its reports are built for SBA 7(a), SBA 504, CMBS and conventional commercial loans. Ask your lender whether it needs a specific report format, and tell Imperial Pro at the proposal stage. For what each lender program asks for, see our SBA loan requirements and CMBS requirements guides.
Add-On Inspections
These are priced separately from the base PCA and can be bundled into one proposal:
- Foundation elevation surveys using ZIPLEVEL equipment, which measure actual settlement across the slab rather than noting visible cracks
- Commercial mold assessment and indoor air quality sampling
- Sewer scope of the building lateral
- Wood-destroying insect (termite) inspections
- ADA accessibility observations
- Bank draw inspections for construction lenders
Phase 1 ESA
Imperial Pro lists Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments only as add-ons it can bundle, and gives no sign that they are done in-house. If your deal needs a Phase 1 ESA, ask who will perform and sign it, or order it from an environmental firm directly.
Service Area
Imperial Pro names four Texas markets: Greater Houston (its primary market), Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. Its city list runs from Katy, Sugar Land and The Woodlands to Plano, Round Rock and New Braunfels, and adds Galveston, Beaumont, Victoria and Corpus Christi. The pricing page says properties outside the four main metros may carry a travel supplement, set at proposal stage. Texas is the only state recorded on this listing.
What to Expect on Price
Imperial Pro is one of the few PCA providers in this directory that publishes a full fee table. For the base ASTM E2018 scope, its published ranges are:
| Building size | Published range (by property type) |
|---|---|
| Under 5,000 sq ft | $1,100 to $2,200 |
| 5,000 to 10,000 sq ft | $1,400 to $2,900 |
| 10,000 to 25,000 sq ft | $2,000 to $4,200 |
| 25,000 to 50,000 sq ft | $2,900 to $6,200 |
| 50,000 to 100,000 sq ft | $4,200 to $9,000 |
| 100,000 to 200,000 sq ft | $6,200 to $13,500 |
| Over 200,000 sq ft | Custom quote |
Within each band, warehouse and industrial buildings sit at the bottom and medical or special-use buildings at the top, with retail, office, multifamily and hotel in between. Building age, number of tenants, and lender report formats also move the fee. The page calls these planning-level figures and says every proposal is custom.
One inconsistency to raise when you ask for a quote: the same page also says Houston pricing “starts at $950 for small properties”, below the $1,100 headline. For how these numbers compare with the wider market, see our property condition assessment cost guide.
What to Provide for a Quote
- Property address, type and gross square footage
- Year built and the number of tenants or units
- Whether it is a purchase, refinance, portfolio review or owner maintenance assessment
- Your lender and any required report format
- Your closing date, and any add-ons you want bundled, such as a foundation survey or mold work
Best For
- Smaller Texas commercial buildings where a published, size-based fee is more useful than an open-ended quote
- Houston-area deals on expansive clay soils, where a foundation elevation survey alongside the PCA gives measured movement data
- Buyers comparing prices, since the fee table lets you check a quote before you call
- Multi-market Texas portfolios across Houston, DFW, Austin and San Antonio
Look elsewhere if your lender requires an engineer-signed PCA, or if you want the Phase 1 ESA and PCA from one firm that performs both in-house.
