    Default Home inspectors

    Does anyone here do home inspections, or know someone who does? Obviously looking for someone thorough vs quick. Thanks for the help.

    I was impressed with the guy who inspected the house we're in now. Very thorough. I'll see if I can find his contact info for you.

    There is only one guy to go to in Dallas. One. Every other inspector I've met is either lazy or a huckster.

    Call Bud Rozell at Good Home Inspection.

    My realtor recommended this guy to me when I got my home last year. He seemed to do a good job and even gave me my current foundation readings so I could compare it if I had foundation problems later.

    Make sure they are bonded and have professional liability insurance. Do not rely on the fact that they are certified TREC inspectors.

    I used this guy a few years back, and he did a thorough job.

    Two month ago we were in contract for a house - this guy's inspection revealed so much that we backed out immediately:
