Kickstart Your QuoteWhy Austin Homeowners Choose Us for Safety & Code Compliance
Building codes exist to protect people, and the City of Austin takes code enforcement seriously. Whether you are selling a home, converting a space, applying for a certificate of occupancy, or responding to a code violation notice, our crews handle the safety and code compliance items that inspectors look for. We get it right the first time so you pass inspection without callbacks.
The most common code compliance issues we address in Austin homes include missing or improperly wired GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that are missing, expired, or not hardwired to meet current code. Handrails and guardrails that are the wrong height, missing altogether, or lack the required graspability profile. Fire blocking in garage walls and attic penetrations. And improper electrical work from previous homeowners who did their own wiring.
Austin adopted the 2021 International Residential Code with local amendments, and the city's inspection standards reflect those updates. Homes built in the 1970s through 1990s across neighborhoods like Crestview, Allandale, and Oak Hill frequently have code items that were compliant when built but no longer meet current standards. When triggered by a remodel, addition, or sale, these items need to be brought up to current code. Our licensed electricians and carpenters know exactly what Austin inspectors look for.
We also handle code compliance work for ADU projects, garage conversions, and permitted renovations where the scope of work triggers broader code requirements. If you are adding a bathroom, converting a garage to living space, or finishing an attic, the City of Austin may require you to update safety systems throughout the entire structure. We identify those requirements upfront and include them in the project scope so there are no surprises at final inspection.

Reviews from Our Customers
Hear from Austin homeowners and agents who trust us.
“My seller's inspection came back with 19 items — smoke detectors, GFCI outlets, a handrail, caulking, and some minor plumbing fixes. AHS knocked them all out in a single day and the buyer's agent signed off immediately. That's the kind of partner I need to keep deals on track.”

“Had a list of 15 small things — leaky faucet, squeaky doors, loose cabinet hinges, toilet that wouldn't stop running, a few drywall patches. One handyman knocked it all out in a day. Should have called months ago.”
