Pre-Owned Home Inspections You Can Trust
Buying a pre-owned home comes with history. Our job is to help you understand its current condition through a clear, unbiased inspection - so you can move forward with confidence, not uncertainty.
Why a Pre-Owned Home Inspection Is Important
Every pre-owned home has been lived in, maintained differently, and affected by time and use. Even well-kept homes can have conditions that aren’t obvious during a showing or walkthrough.
Buying a pre-owned home comes with a past, and sometimes that past includes hidden problems. Roof leaks, foundation movement, faulty wiring, plumbing failures, water damage, aging systems, and poorly performing equipment don’t always show up in listing photos. Our job is to uncover what you can’t see with a clear, unbiased inspection so you don’t find out the hard way after you move in, when repairs become your problem.
Home Inspections Are Not Pass or Fail
A home inspection is not a test the house “passes” or “fails.” It’s best compared to a physical checkup, an evaluation of condition at a specific point in time. Our role is to document what we observe and explain what it may mean, allowing you to decide how to move forward.

Cheap Inspections Can Cost You Thousands
Fast, high-volume inspection companies rush through homes in a couple hours so they can do more jobs in a day.
That might save you $50–$100 now…
But missing one big problem can cost you $3,000–$6,000 or more after closing.
This is not about passing or failing.
It’s about protecting your money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What we get asked often
Do I really need an inspection on a pre-owned home?
Yes. Used homes have wear, repairs, and hidden issues. An inspection helps you find safety risks, major defects, and costly repairs before you own them.
What are the most common problems in pre-owned homes?
Roof leaks, old wiring, plumbing leaks, HVAC near the end of its life, foundation movement, drainage problems, and DIY repairs that were done incorrectly.
How long does a pre-owned home inspection take?
Usually 3–4 hours depending on size and condition. We don’t rush, rushed inspections are how important issues get missed.
Will I get the report the same day?
98% of the time, yes. You’ll receive a digital report with photos and clear recommendations the same day so you can move forward quickly.
Do you give repair cost estimates?
We offer third party repair cost estimates of entire report for $75. These approximate prices help so you can plan negotiations and future expenses quickly.
Can I use your report to negotiate with the seller?
Yes. The report is written clearly with photos so it can be shared with sellers and agents to support repair requests or negotiations.
Are add-ons like sewer camera or thermal imaging worth it?
Yes, absolutely. Thermal imaging can help find hidden moisture or insulation issues that can affect comfort. Sewer cameras can find broken or obstructed drain lines.
Are you independent if my agent referred you?
Yes. We’re an independent third-party inspector. Agents manage the transaction, we focus on the condition of the property. We don't sell houses.
