Qualifications: Profile & Background

Our clients are professional, smart and knowledgeable individuals wanting detail that few provide as our perspective is based on 21 years of actual home-building. We don't generate the 5, 7 or 12 page report or only spend 2-3 hours at the propertonroofphoto2y in order to get to the next so if you want a "quickie" you won't get it here.

For over 20 years, we've provided services to many clients, whole groups of family members, corporations, financial institutions, home builder construction managers and real estate agents "in- the-know" when they purchase their personal home. Our new built home inspections have expanded with the common knowledge that builders are not licensed in Texas and most limited TREC inspectors are not code certified. Being from the building industry, we provide frame inspections and final inspections for a myriad of people.

What do experts say about only using full code certified inspectors?

From Aaron in Garland, Texas -

Inspecting new home construction is not for amateurs or even state-licensed resale home inspectors. This is an extremely complex profession that requires an enormous pool of knowledge and experience from which to draw.

The residential building codes in Texas consist of literally thousands of pages of technical documents intended to legislate the minimal building standards for homes in this state. In addition to the International Residential Code and the National Electrical Code a builder must comply with industry standards set forth by each materials and systems manufacturer, the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ASTM International, and literally hundreds of other organizations.

A minimum of a Residential Combination Inspector (R-5) building code certificate from the International Code Council is the only way to verify that your inspector has adequate knowledge of the codes your builder is required to comply with, and thus the qualifications to critique your builder's work. This certificate insures that your inspector has obtained separate certifications as a residential electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and building inspector.

Hiring a non-certified inspector? You could save the money and do the inspection yourself with the same lackluster and potentially dangerous results.
