Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments you will make in your life time. Most lending companies and banks require an inspection by a qualified licensed inspector before granting approval for a loan. Thomas Home Inspection Services is able to identify which items are not functioning or are in need of repair. I am also qualified to provide you with information on the foundation and drainage, structural components, HVAC, electrical systems, doors and windows, built-in appliances and roof covering just to name a few. My timely, expert reports can help you make a well-informed decision.

Thomas Home Inspection Services inspects residential homes utilizing the standards of practice set forth by the Texas Real Estate Commission. I am also a member of the Texas Association of Real Estate Inspectors. Being a member of TAREI insures that I will stay up to date on rules, regulations and trade practices. This allows me to receive ongoing education and greatly enhances my knowledge of ever-changing building codes. TREC demands all inspectors attend a refresher course totaling a minimum of 16 hours per year. Thomas Home Inspection Services goes beyond the guidelines requested by TREC. This is achieved by attending seminars and evaluating study material from noted authors such as Carson and Dunlop and Russell W. Burgess.

Home Inspection Questions

• Is a home inspection a guarantee or warranty that there is nothing wrong with the house?
  No, an inspection is just an inspection. It is information about the condition of the house as discovered by the inspector at the time of the inspection. Remember that the inspector will not open walls or dig up sewer lines. You can’t expect the inspector reported that it s functioning properly at the time of inspection. Inspectors report on current conditions of equipment components. If, for some reason, the furnace does malfunction before the normal time period, the inspector is not liable. Similarly, equipment sometimes lasts much longer than expected and reported by the inspector.
• Who makes the home inspection?
  The Texas Real Estate Commission regulates real estate inspectors in the State of Texas.
