  Today I had a wonderful customer interaction with the two young men that came out to inspect my balcony in Long Beach. The lead tech was named Angel and he was professional on time, courteous, and on task all day long. I would recommend balcony for other people, looking for an honest inspection of the maintenance and upkeep of their balcony. Thank you Steven DeTray

  We hired Balcony1 to do our SB326 inspection & they did an amazing job. They were so detailed in their work. They helped me look at potential issues I had not seen on my own. I’m glad I went with experts like them to work on the balconies in my building. I highly recommend Balcony1 to anyone in need of Senate Bill 326 inspections or other balcony-related services. They are truly the best in what they do!

What to Expect from Balcony1’s Inspection Process

When you hire Balcony1 for balcony inspections in Los Angeles, you get more than just a checklist. We deliver a comprehensive, safety-first process designed to meet the strict requirements of SB-721 and SB-326. Here’s how it works:

On-Site Evaluation of Your Exterior Elevated Elements

We begin with a full walkthrough of all exterior elevated elements, including balconies, decks, stairways, and walkways. Our team looks for red flags like cracking surfaces, peeling finishes, rust, loose railings, or visible water damage, signs that can point to deeper structural issues.

Specialized Testing & Structural Review

To evaluate your building’s integrity, we use professional tools like endoscopes, moisture meters, and structural probes to examine beams, joists, and waterproofing membranes. This testing helps us detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, especially in older buildings or properties exposed to Los Angeles’ dry heat and sun.

Engineer-Stamped Report with Clear Next Steps

Following your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed, engineer-certified report that outlines:

The current compliance status of your property
Visual and documented evidence of any wear or damage
Specific repair recommendations to meet state safety mandates

This report acts as both your proof of compliance and a clear action plan for any needed repairs or maintenance.

Making Structural Repairs to Your Balcony

If our technicians discover structural issues during your balcony inspection, we’ll provide you with all details, including photos, about the issue at hand, along with all recommendations. Our Los Angeles team handles everything from minor maintenance to major renovations, ensuring your balcony or walkway is safe and compliant with California regulations.

How To Tell If You Need Balcony Repairs

What looks like a minor flaw can often point to larger safety risks. Schedule an inspection if you notice:

Cracks appearing in balcony surfaces or support areas
Floors that feel soft, bouncy, or uneven when walked on
Rust, corrosion, or other damage to metal parts
Paint that’s bubbling, peeling, or lifting near joints
Water stains, discoloration, or signs of leakage
Railings or posts that shift, wobble, or don’t feel secure

Our Balcony Repair Methods, Proven & Effective

Comprehensive Inspection: We carefully examine the balcony to uncover problems and determine their severity.
Clear Repair Plan: You’ll get a transparent proposal with recommended fixes and an upfront cost breakdown.
Reinforcement & Replacement: Weak or damaged sections are either strengthened or swapped out with durable, high-grade materials.
