"Victor was helpful from first contact. I needed to get a home inspection for my client and we were on a short timeline. We scheduled it for the prior day but my client requested the inspection be done within two hours of first contact. He flexed his schedule and was able to accommodate our needs. He was extremely thorough and delivered a comprehensive report within 15 minutes of having completed the inspection. I would recommend him and will reach out to him again in the future."
"The team was respectful of my property and worked diligently to ensure that the project was completed within the timeframe and budget we had discussed."
"This was not the first time using an Air Quality inspection company. They were help full, accessible, timely, accurate, and provided an analysis report that included a representative to review and answer questions. They also provided a referral to a remediation company that approached the issue in an efficient and cost effective manner."
"We needed an inspection of our foundation to make sure cracks that we were seeing weren't an issue. John was reliable and his report gave us clear explanations and actionable items."
"Super convenient scheduling through the website with next day availability. Got a meticulously detailed report back 24 hours after inspection. Made the selling process for my home super easy and quick. 10/10 will be using Roberson Home inspections again."
"I needed to replace the roofing from my home because it’s been 30 years. They came in and gave an estimate the next day. They worked with me on price and advised me on what shingles were better and prices. They arrived on time and finished pretty fast. They got the job done."

Prepare to leave your home for a long absence by making sure small appliances and electronic devices are unplugged. You should also shut valves to your sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine. Set your thermostat closer to outside temperatures or a minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, stop your mail (or have someone pick it up), and put at least one light on a timer.
Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.
Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.
The cost of a home inspection varies depending on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $280 and $400, with a typical cost around $350. However, the full price range can be anywhere from approximately $187 to $510. The final cost is influenced by the home's size, age, condition, and location, as well as the inspector's experience and the depth of the inspection. Larger homes (e.g., over 2,000 square feet) and older homes typically cost more to inspect, as they may require checking for issues like structural deterioration or asbestos. The price may also increase if you need specialized services, such as asbestos testing, thermal imaging to detect infestations, or detailed checks for energy efficiency, structural integrity, or electrical problems. In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. While it is an upfront cost, a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.
In most cases, a roof inspection will include a visual inspection of the exterior roofing materials, an interior inspection for signs of leaking or roof damage, and an assessment of the structural stability of your roof and the materials supporting it.
Some things your roof inspector will look for include the following:
Missing or damaged shingles, flashing, or sealant
Signs of old age
Signs of leaks, including mold growth and water stains
Potential issues, like tree branches touching your roof
Signs of a loss of structural integrity
