Frequently Asked Questions
Call and ask about their credentials and experience and which associations they belong too! If for some reason you don’t feel comfortable asking this of the inspector when speaking with them on the phone, then how will you feel asking questions at the inspection? You must feel that the inspector is qualified, experienced and attentive to your needs.
When choosing a home inspector, begin with a list of association members in your area. Then check to see who among them is the most experienced and has the most outstanding reputation for thoroughness as an inspector. Be sure to attend your inspection. That way, you’ll learn as much as possible from your inspector. Some have college degrees in fields related to construction such as engineering and architecture. A few have passed the same code certification examinations that building code officials are required to pass.
Most home inspections take between 2-4 hours, but larger homes or properties with complex issues may take longer.

Many contractors and other trade professionals hire a professional home inspector to inspect their homes when they make a purchase.
While not always required, a pest inspection is highly recommended in Texas due to the prevalence of termites and other wood-destroying insects.
A home inspection covers the structural integrity, roof, foundation, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and more.
