frequently asked questions
Q. Should I be present for the home inspection?A. Yes, you are encouraged to attend the entire inspection. The findings of the inspection are best explained on-site, and the client has the opportunity to ask questions in person. In addition, we can take this opportunity to show how your house works and ways to care for it.
Q. Do you access roofs and crawl spaces?
A. Yes, in most cases. However, if the inspector considers it unsafe to crawl under a house or walk on a roof, the inspection of these items may be limited.
Q. Should my realtor receive a copy of the inspection report?
A. Yes. Your realtor should be assisting you in determining if any items in the report are significant enough to warrant negotiation with the seller.
Q. Are you available to answer questions after I move into the home?
A. Yes, we want to assist you any way we can in clarifying the information presented in the report even after you've moved in to your new home. We also want to be there to provide follow up and maintenance inspection to have an ongoing record of your home. These additional programs will help you stay on top of repairs and help prevent surprises when you sell the home.
Q. Do you do repairs?
A. No, we do not perform repairs on homes we inspect. We exclusively perform inspections and point out things that potentially need to be repaired.

A. Not necessarily. However it is highly recommended as termites are a common problem in the state of Texas. There is a 65% chance of getting termites when a house is 20 years or older.
Q. Which inspector should I choose?
A. Any Texcode inspector. We strive for accuracy and consistency across the board. This means that you will receive the same, high caliber inspection from any one of us.
