The work
Inspection treated as architecture — not a scramble.
HUD and multifamily properties rarely fail because of the last week of prep. Problems build up in the quiet months — when there are more repair tickets than staff, vacant units sit unfinished, and a smoke detector is only “almost” replaced. FMD closes that gap with experienced judgment, not just more workers.
We inspect each property to NSPIRE standards, write a clear list of what needs fixing, and then do the work ourselves: plumbing, bathrooms and kitchens, unit turnovers, interior paint, and commercial cleaning — so the building looks as ready as it scores.
Leave every community more certain than we found it.

The standard we prepare toward
The work
Seven disciplines. One uniform.
A slow deck — each trade in FMD colors, with the mark on the chest.
02 — Systems
Plumbing repair & upgrades
Leaks, fixtures, water heaters, and the replacements NSPIRE actually sees.
03 — Rooms
Bathroom renovations
From failing wet walls to quiet suites residents are proud to show an inspector.
04 — Rooms
Kitchen remodeling
Cabinets, surfaces, and appliances restored so vacant units return to revenue.
05 — Finish
Interior paint
Turnover coats and corridor programs with edges that read as care, not cover-up.
06 — Presentation
Commercial & residential cleaning
The last pass before a walk: floors, common areas, and units that look as ready as they are.
07 — Make-ready
Unit turnovers
Vacant units returned to lease: punch, paint, fixtures, and the clean that lets a resident move in.
Are you inspection ready?
The months before REAC are where scores are actually made.
At best, the score sets the clock until the next inspection. At worst, the property fails — and the staff who already run the building absorb the blame.
No manager wants to spend a season preparing only to miss a life-safety item, a blocked egress, or a unit that was “done” on paper. Maintenance departments are already carrying daily work orders. Inspection prep is a second job they were never staffed to hold.
FMD steps in as a dedicated REAC / NSPIRE partner: we assess against the protocol, not against memory. We repair what will fail. We renovate what will never pass a polite coat of paint. Then we clean, document, and stand with you on the day the inspector arrives.
Property managers keep their core work. Residents keep a building that still feels like home. Owners keep a score they can defend.
How an engagement moves
Walk. Prioritize. Repair. Present.
Walk the property
Units, common areas, and life-safety — read against NSPIRE, not habit.
Write the truth
A punch list that names what will cost the score, in the order it should be closed.
Do the work
Plumbing, renovations, turnovers, paint, and cleaning — sized to the days you actually have.
Inspection day
Evidence on file, spaces presented, and leadership available to walk the official path.
Leadership
The face of the work
A principal who still walks the units.
FMD is led from the field. Our principal inspector and project lead is on the property — not only on the letterhead — reviewing detectors, wet walls, kitchens, and the quiet corners inspectors always find. The portraits you see across this site are that same presence: plumbing, renovations, turnovers, paint, cleaning, and NSPIRE, held to one standard.
That continuity is the difference between a vendor who “sends a crew” and a firm that can explain, on inspection morning, why a door closer was replaced and a corridor still smells like fresh work instead of excuse.
From repairs to renovations
We do it all — and we do it as if the inspector were already in the lobby.
