Game Time Inspections

My prices are based on square footage. Obviously the bigger the square footage the longer the inspection will take. I also do a termite inspection for every client. A termite inspection alone can cost up to $100., I include that in my service.

When I visit with a client I will get some details about the inspection, agree on a day and time and typically like the client to show up at the end of the inspection so I can go over things that I will be putting in the report. Inspections take a minimum of 2 hours and I will get the report out to my clients the same day. I will also send out information before the inspection that will outline what I do during an inspection.

I was trained at Champions School of Real Estate. It took me about 6 months to finish my training and I followed it up with a WDI (wood destroying insect) certification. All home inspectors in Texas must be certified through TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission). My TREC certification # is 23938. My WDI certification # is .

I have always done work on houses over the years and had a good basic knowledge of construction when I started my certification classes. I retired from teaching and coaching and started this business . I really enjoy the different things you see while doing inspections and helping people with the biggest purchase of their life.

I have worked mainly with clients purchasing their own home in all parts of the Houston area. I have also worked with investors that are purchasing a property to rent. I have done pre-sale inspections for clients that were in the process of putting their house on the market. I do phase inspections for clients that are building a home starting at a pre- pour inspection when the slab is poured.

I did a phase inspection for a young couple from Waller that were building a home in Sugarland. I started with inspecting the slab before it was poured and finished a couple of months later with a final inspection before the final walk through. Lots of joy watching a beautiful home being built for a young couple starting out.

You want to hire someone that is detailed and is going to give you all the information you need to make a intelligent decision about your purchase. Remember, the inspector is not emotional about the house you are looking at. He is independent from the seller and is working for you. Lots of houses look great from the outside but a good inspector will be able to find out if there are any underlying problems that my need more evaluation .

I always ask clients if they have any specific concerns about a property that they want me to spend a little extra time looking at.
