Know What You're Buying Before Closing

Full residential home inspection service in Greenville, Texas and the surrounding areas

When you purchase a home in Greenville, you need to know exactly what condition the property is in before you sign. A residential home inspection gives you a clear view of the roof, foundation, electrical panels, plumbing lines, HVAC equipment, and interior spaces so you can make decisions based on actual conditions rather than assumptions. Straight Arrow Property Inspections evaluates each major system in your home and documents defects, safety concerns, and maintenance items in a format you can actually use.

The inspection covers the structure from foundation to roofline, checking for visible damage, code violations, moisture intrusion, and equipment that no longer functions as intended. You receive a detailed report that highlights what needs immediate attention and what can wait, helping you plan repairs or negotiate terms with the seller. This service is built on years of hands-on construction work across multiple trades and shaped by decades of emergency response training, so the focus stays on safety and accuracy.

If you are buying, selling, or maintaining a home in Greenville  and want a thorough evaluation with fast turnaround, reach out to schedule your inspection.

What gets checked during your home inspection

Your inspection in Greenville includes a walkthrough of every accessible area, from the attic and crawl space to the garage and exterior grounds. The inspector examines electrical panels for improper wiring, tests plumbing fixtures for leaks or low pressure, and checks the HVAC system to confirm it heats and cools properly. Roofing materials are assessed for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or signs of wear that could lead to leaks.

After the inspection, you will see exactly where water stains appear on ceilings, which outlets lack proper grounding, and whether the foundation shows cracks that suggest settling or drainage problems. The report separates urgent repairs from routine maintenance so you know what to address first. You also receive photos and descriptions that make it easy to discuss findings with contractors or sellers.

The inspection does not include invasive testing like opening walls or removing fixtures, but it does cover everything visible and accessible at the time of the visit. If the property has a septic system, pool, or sewer lateral line, those require separate inspections to fully assess their condition. This process prepares you to move forward with accurate information rather than guesswork.

Questions homeowners ask before booking

Homeowners and buyers often have similar concerns before scheduling an inspection, especially if this is their first time going through the process or if the property has older systems that raise questions.

How long does a residential home inspection take?
Most inspections take between two and four hours depending on the size of the home and the number of systems involved. You are welcome to attend and ask questions during the walkthrough.
What happens if the inspector finds major problems?
You receive a full report documenting the issue with photos and descriptions so you can decide whether to request repairs, negotiate price, or move forward as planned. The report gives you the information needed to make that choice.
When should I schedule the inspection?
You should schedule as soon as your offer is accepted and during the option period so you have time to review findings and respond before the deadline. Straight Arrow Property Inspections offers fast turnaround to meet tight timelines.
What tools does the inspector use during the visit?
The inspector uses moisture meters to detect hidden water damage, thermal imaging to spot insulation gaps or electrical hotspots, and standard testing equipment to check outlets, breakers, and appliance functionality.
Why does construction experience matter for home inspections?
Inspectors with hands-on trade experience can recognize how systems were built, why certain materials fail, and what repairs actually require. That background helps identify problems others might miss and explain findings in practical terms.
