North Alabama’s Premier Inspection Services

Residential Property inspections

A residential property inspection gives buyers a clear understanding of a home’s condition before they commit. It covers major systems like the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more – highlighting defects, safety concerns, and costly repairs. This helps you make an informed decision, negotiate repairs or price, and avoid unexpected expenses after moving in. It’s one of the smartest investments in the entire home buying process.

Pre-Listing Inspections

A pre-listing inspection gives sellers a clear picture of their home’s condition before it hits the market. It helps avoid surprises during the buyer’s inspection, reduces the risk of last-minute deal breakers, and allows time to make repairs on your terms. By addressing issues upfront, you can list with confidence, price more accurately, and potentially speed up the sale. It shows buyers you’re transparent and proactive. Two things that build trust and help your home stand out.

Pool and Spa Inspections

A pool and spa inspection checks the structure, circulation system, pumps, heaters, filters, electrical components, and safety features like gates and drains. It helps identify leaks, and malfunctioning equipment that could lead to costly repairs down the road.

New construction Phase Inspections

New construction phase inspections provide a second set of eyes at key stages of the build – such as foundation, framing, and final walkthrough – to catch mistakes before they’re covered up. Builders are busy, and things get missed; these inspections help ensure the work meets standards before it’s too late to fix. Catching defects early protects your investment, avoids costly rework, and gives you confidence that your new home is being built right from the ground up.

Thermal Imaging & Energy Audits

Thermal imaging and energy audits help identify hidden issues like insulation gaps, air leaks, moisture intrusion, and overheating electrical components. These problems often go unnoticed during a standard inspection but can lead to high energy bills, discomfort, or costly damage. This service can improve a home’s efficiency, reduce long-term costs, and catch issues early before they become serious.

11th Month Warranty Inspections

An 11-month warranty inspection is a detailed evaluation of your home conducted just before your builder’s 1 year warranty expires. It helps identify hidden defects or incomplete work, like foundation cracks, roof issues, or plumbing problems so you can request repairs while they’re still covered, potentially saving thousands in future costs.

Industry Leading Home Inspection Reports

Our detailed reports help you stay ahead of potential problems. Agents can list with confidence, investors can plan with precision, and homeowners can move forward knowing exactly where things stand. Fix issues early, avoid surprises later.

What Our Clients Are Saying About US

Wade Wade

Calvin Bush

This company did an amazing job with our home inspection. Nathan ward was very thorough in his inspection and covered every minute detail to ensure everything was functioning properly. Nathan even used tools such as infrared cameras to make sure that our AC and water systems were operating efficiently and not leaking. Even in a new build his attention to detail was very keen and he was able to find several issues that could potentially cause problems down the road and compiled everything into a report that was very easy to navigate. We will definitely be referring our friends to use this company and Nathan for their home inspection needs in the future.

Frequently Ask Home Inspection Question

We are here to serve you. As a part of that we know you may have some questions.

A home inspection typically covers:
Structure: Foundation, floors, walls, ceilings, roof, windows, and doors.
Systems: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, water, and sewage, and electrical work.
Other areas: Attic, insulation, stairs, basement, driveway, porch, patio, balcony, fireplace, chimney, vents, and installed kitchen appliances.

Identifies potential problems:
Home inspections can reveal issues that may not be immediately apparent, such as water damage, electrical problems, or structural defects.
Negotiates repairs:
The inspection report can be used to negotiate repairs or credits with the seller.
Provides peace of mind:
Understanding the home’s condition can provide peace of mind to the buyer.
Can prevent costly repairs later:
Addressing issues identified during the inspection can help prevent larger, more expensive repairs down the road.

Most inspections take 2-4 hours, but larger or older homes, or those with a significant number of deficiencies, may take longer.

No, a home inspection is not a pass/fail test. It’s an objective evaluation of the property’s condition at a specific point in time.

It’s not required, but highly recommended. Attending allows you to ask questions and get a better understanding of any issues found.

Typically I will have your report to you within 24 hours and even sometimes the same day.

Yes. Even brand-new homes can have defects from rushed work, missed steps, or poor oversight. A third-party inspection helps ensure everything was built properly before you move in.

Typically, the buyer hires the inspector during the due diligence period. However, sellers can also hire one for a pre-listing inspection to identify issues before putting the home on the market.

It is still smart to get your own independent inspection. You want an unbiased evaluation from someone working solely in your best interest.

Absolutely. It’s encouraged. Asking me questions on site helps you understand the findings and the home’s overall condition. You are however not allowed to follow me up ladders, into the Attic or into the crawlspace. I will be more than happy to review the photos with you of these areas after I have inspected them. This is for your safety and for compliance with my insurance policies.

A licensed home inspector will:
– Visually inspect the home’s visible and accessible components.
– Assess the condition of the structure, systems, and appliances.
– Document their findings in a written report.

– The seller is not automatically required to make repairs.
– The buyer can negotiate for repairs or credits with the seller.
– If the seller refuses to make repairs, the buyer can either walk away from the purchase or make the repairs at their own expense.

No, home inspections are not typically required by law, but they are highly recommended.

Review the inspection report carefully: Understand the identified issues and their potential impact.
Discuss the findings with your real estate agent: Your agent can help you understand your options and negotiate with the seller.
Consider getting professional advice: Consult with contractors or experts if you have questions about the identified issues.

We inspect all safely accessible areas, including the attic, crawlspace, roof, and major systems. Specialty inspections, like sewer scopes or pool and spa inspections will require add-ons.

Absolutely. It can save you thousands by uncovering hidden issues before you buy and will give you peace of mind regarding your investment. Home inspections in buyer beware states like Alabama are critical.

Yes. Many buyers use the report to request repairs, negotiate price, or ask for seller concessions based on the findings. It gives you real leverage in the deal on the buyer’s end, or can avoid last minute negotiations or annoying back and forths on the seller’s end if a pre-listing inspection was requested.

Home inspectors generally do not provide repair quotes. Licensed contractors are recommended for specific pricing. Home inspectors may give you general guidance on urgency or severity.

It really helps if all areas are accessible – like the attic, crawlspace, electrical panel, and HVAC system. If you’re the seller, clear stored items and unlock gates or garages. If it is not accessible, I can not inspect it.

You will receive a detailed report with photos, notes, and recommendations. You and your agent can then decide how to proceed, whether it’s requesting repairs, negotiating, or moving forward as is.
