A home inspection is a professional, complete visual examination of the all the systems and physical structural elements of a home. Our emphasis is on identifying existing or potential problems that would affect a purchaser's buying decision.

A home is the largest purchase most people will ever make. It only makes sense to find out as much as you can about the house you are interested in before you buy. That way you can avoid costly surprise repairs and problems with your new home. Our report will also advise you of what maintenance is required to keep your home in top condition. A professional inspection will give you a clear picture of the many systems and structural elements that make up the property.

If you are selling your home, a listing inspection will point out any potential problems that might be uncovered later by the buyers inspector. Finding them early will allow you to address them before listing your home, making for a faster and smoother sale.

Our standard inspection report covers all the major systems and structural elements of the house. This includes the condition of the home's heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems, roof, foundation, attic and visible insulation, walls, doors, windows and all visible structures.

Definitely! We strongly recommend that you plan on coming at the end of the inspection so that we can show you what we have discovered and review what will be in the final report. We want you to fully understand your new home and its systems.

It's a valuable learning experience for most people and will help you get the most benefit from the inspection. You can ask questions directly and the inspector can explain maintenance tips for specific areas. Your inspector will let you know the appropriate time when you schedule your inspection. If you can't be at the inspection, we can arrange a telephone consultation to review the report with you.

The time will vary depending on both the size and condition of the home. For most homes, 3 hours is fairly typical. But for larger homes, or homes in poor condition, it may take longer.

Absolutely. A professional inspection of a new home is important. We can spot potential problems early, while they are still easy to correct. It's especially valuable to arrange an inspection before the interior walls are finished. As building professionals, we may find problem areas where the builder has taken shortcuts or not perfomred good work.

Chances are that even if you are very familiar with home construction, you still don't have the knowledge, training and experience of a professional Home Inspector. We are not only familiar with all the systems of a home, and how they work and need to be maintained, but we also know what to look for to tell us that they are getting ready to fail.

But beyond the technical expertise and experience a professional inspector brings, it is important to remember that the inspector remains an impartial third party. If you are involved in buying or selling a house, it's impossible for you to remain completely unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your judgment. The professional inspector will provide an objective outside reporting of the facts.

Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including needed repairs. No house is going to be perfect. It is up to you to decide how any problems the inspection uncovers might affect your decision to purchase.

If major problems are discovered, you may want to try negotiating with the seller to have them repaired before closing the deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower the price, or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the decision rests with you, but knowing about potential problems, before you buy, gives you the power to make the best decisions.

No. The code of ethics of The Texas Real Estate Commission prohibits any home inspectors from doing repair work on properties they inspect. This assures that there will never be any conflict of interest by the inspector. Nor will we accept renumeration from third parties. Our purpose is to provide an unbiased, objective third-party report on the condition of the home.

Our inspectors have extensive experience in performing home inspections. In addition, we adhere to the highest standards set forth by the Texas Real Estate Commission and the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors.

Yes. Our inspectors are licensed by TREC - The Texas Real Estate Commission.
