Make the most of your inspection.
Join the walkthrough
Most residential inspections take about 3–4 hours, depending on size, condition and scope. You are welcome to attend; coming near the end leaves time to review the findings together.
Review and follow up
Read your same-day report, including any limitations. Share it with your agent or builder, arrange specialist evaluations when recommended and call Us with questions.
A home inspection evaluates visible, accessible conditions within the inspection agreement and applicable TREC Standards of Practice. It is not a guarantee, an engineering assessment or a prediction of future condition.
