Residential Inspections
A residential inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a home’s condition, typically conducted before a sale or purchase. Inspectors assess key components such as the foundation, roof, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and overall structural integrity. The goal is to identify potential safety concerns, necessary repairs, and areas that may require maintenance. Buyers often use inspection reports to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments, while sellers may schedule pre-listing inspections to address issues in advance.
Beyond real estate transactions, routine residential inspections help homeowners stay ahead of maintenance needs and avoid costly surprises. Periodic assessments can uncover hidden problems like leaks, pest infestations, or outdated wiring that may pose safety risks. Proactive inspections ensure a home remains in good condition, preserving its value and preventing minor issues from turning into major repairs.
Hiring a qualified home inspector is crucial to getting an accurate and unbiased evaluation. Inspectors follow industry standards, using specialized tools and knowledge to provide detailed reports. Choosing an experienced professional helps ensure that no critical issues are overlooked, giving homeowners and buyers the confidence to make informed decisions about their property.
Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, True Property Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format.
