Licensed Home Inspector in Texas
A licensed home inspector in Texas is a professional who is trained and qualified to inspect residential properties. They are responsible for evaluating the condition of the property’s structure, mechanical systems, and overall condition. Home inspectors are required to follow the Texas Real Estate Commission’s (TREC) Standards of Practice, which provides minimum standards for home inspections.
What does a home inspector inspect?
A home inspector in Texas will typically inspect the following areas of a property:
- Structural components: This includes the foundation, roof, walls, floors, and framing.
- Mechanical systems: This includes the electrical system, plumbing system, heating and cooling system, and ventilation system.
- Interior systems: This includes the kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, and insulation.
- Exterior systems: This includes the siding, roofing, gutters, and driveway.
- Other systems: This may include septic systems, water wells, radon gas, and wood-destroying insects.
What does a home inspector report on?
After completing a home inspection, the inspector will write a report that documents their findings. The report will typically include the following information:
- A description of the property and its condition
- A list of any defects or deficiencies found
- Recommendations for repairs or maintenance
Why is it important to have a home inspection?
A home inspection can help buyers make informed decisions about whether to purchase a property. By identifying any potential defects or deficiencies, the inspector can help buyers avoid costly repairs down the road. Home inspections can also help buyers negotiate a lower purchase price or obtain a seller’s concession to cover the cost of repairs.
How to choose a home inspector in Texas
When choosing a home inspector in Texas, it is important to select an inspector who is licensed by TREC. You should also ask the inspector about their experience and qualifications. Be sure to get a copy of the inspector’s report before signing a contract to purchase a property.

With all of the options you have for home inspectors, learn why I’m the best option.
Eric was the best. Took his time and answered all my questions thoroughly. Told me what needed immediate attention and what could wait. He even helped me put together a list of things to check on periodically to avoid any issues down the road before they became major issues. All around great person to work with and great value added.
Eric Lundquist is very professional and detailed in his reports. He provided his services at amazing rates and is very responsive. Will definitely recommend him.
Eric from Dallas Home Inspections was great! Eric was the only person to respond to me reaching out when I needed an inspection in my 10 day option period. He was very quick to respond to my initial quote request and made the process very easy. Eric was professional and made me feel more at ease about an otherwise overwhelming part of the home buying process. His reports were very thorough but also easy to understand and were broken down in a way that made it easy to communicate needs back to the sellers. Additionally, Eric worked with me to get the best price for his services and was super flexible on add-ons. I would 10/10 recommend Next Chapter Home Inspections for your inspection needs during the option period!
I highly recommend Dallas Home Inspection! It really easy to book your inspection via online at a very reasonable price. Eric responded to all my questions and concerns and replied to my emails really quickly before the day of inspection. Eric answered all our questions about the property, showed proper evidence with clear photos and very honest about his observation. Inspection report was received on the same day! Really happy with this!
