Our Story

How did Rod Inspects get started?

Rod Stewardson started Rod Inspects in 2002 with a simple belief: a home buyer shouldn't need a dictionary to read their inspection report. Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions most people ever make, and too many inspections end with a stack of pages and no real understanding of the home.

Twenty-four years and 13,000+ inspections later, that belief hasn't changed. What has changed is the size of the team. Rod Inspects now has three licensed inspectors and serves San Antonio and eight surrounding communities, from New Braunfels and Seguin to San Marcos and Alamo Heights.

A Home Instruction

What does "A Home Instruction" mean?

It means we don't just inspect your home. We teach you about it.

A standard inspection finds problems. A Home Instruction also explains them: what we found, why it matters, how serious it is and what a reasonable next step looks like. We want you to leave knowing where your water shut-off is, how your systems are holding up and which items need attention now versus later.

In practice, that looks like this:

Come along. You're welcome to attend your inspection and ask questions as we go.
Plain English. No jargon without an explanation. If a term needs a definition, you'll get one.
A clear report. Texas inspectors use the Texas Real Estate Commission's standard inspection form, so every system is clearly marked. We add photos and notes that explain what we saw.
Priorities, not panic. Every house has findings. We help you tell a safety issue from routine maintenance.

Veteran-Owned

Why does it matter that Rod Inspects is veteran-owned?

Rod Inspects is a veteran-owned business in a city that's proud to be called Military City USA. Many San Antonio buyers are military families relocating on a PCS timeline, and we know how tight those deadlines can be.
