The Man Behind
Max-Pro Inspections
Doug Maxwell is a TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#26793) and a proud Southeast Texas native who built Max-Pro Home Inspections on one simple belief — that every homebuyer deserves the full, honest truth about the home they're about to purchase.
Before becoming a home inspector, Doug developed a deep understanding of how homes are built, what can go wrong, and — most importantly — how to communicate those findings clearly so that clients never feel confused or overwhelmed.
Doug founded Max-Pro with the goal of being the kind of inspector he would have wanted when he bought his own home — thorough, honest, local and easy to talk to. Not just someone checking boxes, but a trusted advisor walking alongside you through one of the biggest decisions of your life.
"I'm not just here to inspect a house. I'm here to make sure you're set up for success from day one in your new home."
