A buyer's home inspection looks at the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic and interior before your option period runs out, so you can negotiate, plan repairs, or walk away with the facts in hand.

Getting ready to sell?
A pre-listing seller inspection shows you what a buyer's inspector is likely to find before your home goes on the market, while you still have time to repair, get repair estimates, or price accordingly.

Is your builder's warranty about to expire?
A builder's warranty inspection, often called an 11-month inspection, documents defects in a newer home while the builder is still responsible for them.

Want to see what the eye can't?
An infrared thermal inspection uses a thermal camera to identify surface temperature patterns that may indicate moisture, missing insulation, overheating electrical components or HVAC problems. The camera does not diagnose those problems on its own; the inspector interprets what it shows.

Building a new home?
A new construction inspection puts an independent inspector who works for you on the job before the drywall goes up and again at a final inspection before you sign off.

What Makes a Home Inspection in San Antonio Different?
San Antonio homes deal with conditions that shape what an inspector looks for. Expansive clay soils on much of the east side swell when wet and shrink in drought, which can move foundations and show up as sticking doors and drywall cracks. Long, hot summers keep air conditioners and attic ductwork under heavy load for months. Hail and strong storms test roofs, and older neighborhoods still have pier-and-beam homes with crawl spaces that need a different kind of look than a slab. If you are searching for a home inspector in San Antonio TX who knows these conditions, that local experience is what you are really looking for.
