Home Inspections
At the end of your home inspection, you'll receive a clear, easy-to-read report—complete with digital photos—delivered on-site.
If you’re unable to attend the inspection, no problem! Your report will be emailed directly to you and your real estate agent the same day.
All reports are prepared according to Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) standards, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
If you and your agent are present, we’ll go over the report together at the end of the inspection. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand the findings.
We want you to feel informed, confident, and comfortable throughout the entire process.
Close up termites
Along with your home inspection, we also provide a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Report—commonly referred to as a Termite Report. This is a separate report that is conducted under a separate license: TDA 0670741.
With over 10,000 termite inspections completed, we’ve seen a significant decline in termite activity over the years. This decrease can be attributed to the education of homeowners and contractors, as well as improvements in materials used in construction.
The termite report is charged separately because it is often required for insurance coverage purposes. Some companies may advertise offering this service "for free"—but in reality, they simply bundle it into your overall inspection fee. We believe in transparency, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.
A Pool Can Be a Dream Come True—But It’s Also a Critical Part of a Home Inspection
While a home may be in excellent condition, it's not uncommon for the pool to require multiple repairs. During our inspection, we perform a visual assessment of the pool, focusing on:
If we find that the pool is in poor condition, we will recommend consulting a licensed pool contractor for a detailed evaluation and repair estimates.
Please note:
We do not fill winterized pools or clean them. These steps should be completed prior to the inspection to ensure a thorough evaluation.
Level Measurement
Foundation Measurement with ZipLevel – Gain Peace of Mind
In North Texas, foundation concerns are common—and for good reason. That’s why we offer foundation measurements using a ZipLevel.
This specialized tool allows us to measure the slab elevation and identify any significant movement in the foundation. When combined with a visual inspection for signs such as:
…it provides a more complete picture of your home’s foundation health.
If the findings raise concern, we’ll recommend consulting a foundation specialist or structural engineer for further evaluation.
I’ve been a Realtor for 13+ years and Ches is the only inspector I recommend. He is professional, honest and very knowledgeable. With his 20+ years of experience, you are in the very best hands for the most important part of the home-buying process. He takes the time to walk buyer(s) through the property and explain the findings of the inspection and any current or potential future problems. Ches is prompt and responsive to any questions or concerns my clients or I may have. I know my clients are in good hands with Ches and that’s such a blessing!

“I’ve worked with Ches Graham for almost 20 years. He’s professional & thorough and gives my clients a good home inspection at a reasonable rate for the industry. I always give my clients a list of my favorite inspectors and Ches is always on my list”
First of all Ches Graham is a no-nonsense direct communicator, but with a sense of humor. He makes my buyers feel at ease and has no issue in speaking to either a buyer or seller on any issue that is found during an inspection. Ches never speaks above anyone’s heads and tells things in layman’s terms.
