Buyer's Inspection
A top-to-bottom evaluation of the home you're about to buy, so you know exactly what you're getting before you close.
What's included?
A visual evaluation of the home's major systems and components — roof, foundation, structure, attic, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, water heater, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and built-in appliances.
How long does it take?
Most inspections take about 2–4 hours depending on the size and age of the home.
When do I get the report?
A detailed, photo-illustrated report is typically delivered the same day, so you can act quickly during your option period.
Should I be there?
It's encouraged but not required. Attending lets Doug walk you through the major findings in person.
Book This InspectionSeller's Pre-Listing Inspection
An inspection before you list, so you can address issues on your own terms and avoid surprises during the buyer's inspection.
Why inspect before selling?
It lets you fix problems ahead of time, price your home accurately, and reduce the chance of renegotiation or a deal falling through after you have an offer.
What is Move-In Certified®?
It's a pre-listing designation that shows buyers the home has already been professionally inspected, which can build confidence and help your listing stand out.
What does it cover?
The same major systems and components as a buyer's inspection.
Book This InspectionNew Construction Inspection
A final, independent inspection of your brand-new home before you take possession — even quality builders miss things.
Why inspect a brand-new home?
An independent set of eyes catches defects while the builder is still responsible for correcting them.
When should it be done?
Ideally before your final walkthrough or closing, so any issues can be added to the builder's punch list and resolved before you move in.
What's checked?
The home's major systems and components, plus workmanship and installation issues common in new builds.
Book This InspectionWater Quality Testing
Lab-certified testing of your water supply — often required for certain loans and smart for any home on a private well.
When is it required?
It's commonly required for VA, FHA, and USDA loans, especially on homes served by a private well.
What does it test for?
Samples are sent to a certified lab to check for bacteria (such as coliform/E. coli), nitrates, lead, and other contaminants.
How long for results?
Lab turnaround typically takes a few business days.
Book This InspectionWDI / Termite Inspection
A Wood Destroying Insect inspection to catch termites and other wood-destroying pests early.
What is a WDI report?
A standardized report — often required by lenders — documenting any evidence of wood-destroying insects like termites, along with conditions that could attract them.
Who performs it?
It's performed under Pest Inspection Network, INC (TPCL #783068), licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Why does it matter here?
Termite activity is common in Southeast Texas and can be costly. Early detection helps protect your investment.
Book This InspectionPool & Spa Inspection
A condition and safety check of your pool or spa and its equipment.
What's inspected?
Visible structure and surfaces, pumps, filters, heaters, plumbing and electrical components, and safety features such as barriers and gates.
Is it a code certification?
It's a visual evaluation of condition and function, not a code-compliance certification.
Can it be added to my home inspection?
Yes — it's commonly bundled with a buyer's inspection.
Book This InspectionIrrigation Inspection
A zone-by-zone check of your irrigation system so you know it runs properly.
What's checked?
Each zone, sprinkler heads, valves, and the controller — looking for leaks, broken heads, coverage gaps, and proper operation.
Why include it?
Unnoticed irrigation problems can add up. Knowing the condition up front helps you budget for any repairs.
Book This Inspection11-Month Warranty Inspection
An inspection near the end of your builder's first-year warranty, so defects get fixed while you're still covered.
Why at 11 months?
Most builder warranties last one year. An inspection around month 11 gives you time to submit a list of issues before coverage expires.
What's covered?
A full evaluation of the home's systems and components, flagging defects and items that have developed since you moved in.
Who is it for?
Homeowners in their first year in a newly built home.
Book This InspectionFoundation Elevation Survey
A precision survey that measures floor heights throughout the home to document differential settlement and foundation movement.
What does it measure?
Relative floor elevations across the home, creating a documented snapshot of how level the floors are.
Who is it for?
Homebuyers, homeowners, and anyone monitoring foundation performance over time.
Why get one?
It provides an objective baseline you can compare against in the future to track any movement.
Elevation surveys document floor elevations and are not engineering evaluations or foundation certifications.
