When you are under contract on a house, the clock is already running. Your option period is short, and you need an inspector you trust on the calendar fast.
That is the moment the new Rod Inspects website was built for. Rod Inspects has inspected San Antonio-area homes since 2002, and the inspections have not changed. What has changed is how quickly you can find what you need and book.
What Is New on the Rod Inspects Website?
The redesigned site puts the questions people actually ask front and center.
- A clear page for every service. Each inspection type has its own page explaining what it covers and when it makes sense.
- A sample report you can read before you book. See how findings are written and photographed before your own inspection day.
- Online scheduling, 24/7. Book from your phone at night or on the weekend, without waiting for business hours.
- Educational articles and FAQs. Plain-English answers about the inspection process, San Antonio homes and what to do with your report.
Rod says, "Our goal has always been to help people better understand the homes they're buying, selling, or maintaining. Our redesigned website makes it easier to explore inspection services, find helpful information, and confidently take the next step toward scheduling an inspection."
Which Inspection Services Can You Explore on the New Site?
Buyer's inspections. The full inspection: roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, with a written report and photographs. Start with the buyer's inspection page.
Seller pre-listing inspections. Getting ready to sell? Learn your home's condition before a buyer's inspector does, so you can decide what to repair first. See the pre-listing inspection page.
Builder's warranty inspections. Bought a new home in the last year? Document items to submit before the builder's warranty runs out. Details are on the builder's warranty inspection page.
Infrared thermal imaging. A thermal camera shows temperature differences that can point to moisture, missing insulation or electrical hot spots. Learn more on the infrared thermal inspection page.
You can see every option side by side on the inspection services page.
How Does the Website Help You Choose the Right Inspector?
Choosing an inspector is your decision, and the inspector you hire works for you. The new site gives you what you need to choose with confidence.
You can read about the people who will actually walk your house on the Meet Our Team page, including Rod Stewardson, a U.S. Navy veteran and TAREI Certified Advanced Inspector. More than 13,000 inspections stand behind the Rod Inspects name. You can look through a sample inspection report to judge for yourself how clearly findings are explained. And you can read what past clients say on the reviews page.
If you are still comparing inspectors, the blog's guide on how to avoid the blind inspector walks through the warning signs of a rushed inspection and the questions worth asking any inspector before you hire them.
How Do You Schedule an Inspection Online?
Go to the schedule page, choose your inspection and pick a time that works around your option period. The scheduler takes bookings any time, 24/7, so you can lock in a date the same evening your offer is accepted. If you would rather talk it through first, call Rod Inspects at (210) 255-3134.
Where Can You Find Answers Before Your Inspection?
The Rod Inspects blog covers the topics San Antonio buyers, sellers and homeowners ask about most, from older pier-and-beam homes and drainage to getting a house ready to sell. The FAQ page answers the practical questions, from how scheduling works to what happens after the report arrives.
