| Houston Home Inspection Services We Provide at ATEX Inspects |
Why do you need to have a home or commercial property you are considering to purchase inspects? The benefits of a real estate
inspection far outweigh the consequences of costly repairs due to unseen defects in construction, general wear and tear, faulty
repair work, or just plain covering up or quick fixing problems.
At ATEX Inspects, we perform an in-depth limited visual inspection of the residential property. We take multiple photographs to back-
up our findings; and provide you with a Professional Report complete with photographs and a summary of our findings.
GREAT HOME INSPECTION SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Houston New Home or Condo Construction (Phase) Inspections:
New construction building inspection services provide you with the knowledge of a third-party Certified Home Inspector
who works for your investment interest. We will inspect all three phases of the new home construction process: Pre
foundation or Pre Slab, Pre Sheet rock and Final New Houston Home Inspection. Your Houston home builder may tell
you, "Oh, don’t worry, we have our own home builder inspectors who perform our property inspections or that they
depend on the city to perform all of their required new construction inspections." Keep in mind the builder’s inspector
works for the builder’s interest not yours and city inspector work for well, who knows. I perform two Houston commercial
or home inspections per day. Call us today at 281-216-1171 for all your new Houston home construction inspections.
Houston New & Existing Home & Condo Inspections:
The inspection covers the interior and exterior components of the building in terms of materials used and type of
construction. Foundation, framing materials, and other components are noted along with any deficiencies. Interior walls,
floors and ceiling surfaces are scanned for problematic conditions, visible evidence of water penetration, other visible
damages, potentially dangerous or toxic materials, fire hazards, or security breaches. Ventilation and energy
conservation aspects are checked and appropriate corrections are recommended.
The home’s roof is inspected, landscape drainage is also inspected and necessary improvements are recommended.
Steps, walks and drives are checked for voids, surface problems and safety hazards. Due to recent storm damages
caused by hurricane Ike, many Houston homes have suffered roof and exterior siding damage from high winds and flying
debris.
The electrical system is checked for sufficient capacity, safety and is evaluated in terms of its current condition and
suitability for future use in your Houston home. Air Conditioning capacity of the existing equipment, the age of the
equipment and its intended capacity, approximates the life expectancy and recommends appropriate repairs and
upgrades are inspected. The House plumbing piping and fixtures throughout the house are checked for function flow and
life expectancies. All house appliances are operated and deficiencies noted.
One Year Builder Warranty Inspection:
Let’s face it not all Houston home builders are created equally, there are some great home builders in Houston,
unfortunately others are not. We recommend that you contact ATEX Inspects to return prior to the end of your one year
builders warranty. We will return and perform your one year builder’s warranty inspection. Our Houston home inspection
company's builder warranty inspection is comprehensive, detailed, and impartial and is similar to the Phase Three Final
Home Inspection service. The advantage is that this inspection allows the home owner to have all issues that have
occurred during the first year of new home ownership to be corrected. The key point here is that this home inspection is
performed and corrections identified and corrected before your one-year Houston builder’s warranty expires, at the cost
of the home builder. This will allow you to ensure that the builder has addressed the home issues in a complete and
timely manner.
Sellers (Pre-listing) Houston Home Inspection:
Sellers will be benefit by getting a pre-market residential Houston home inspection performed. Maintaining control of
repairs will allow you to manage your budget and keeps Houston buyer’s confidence strong through the house buying
process.
Lack of periodic home or property maintenance is the most common reason real estate property deals fall apart. By
having a licensed Houston building inspector prepare a list of potential repairs, the seller can be proactive and avoid
much of the building repair negotiations which can be found when the buyer has a property inspection preformed. When
the buyer finds there are very few repairs, they will quickly move forward in the purchase of your house with confidence
and peace of mind.
I will not only inspect your Houston home or property from the foundation to the roof, plumbing, electrical, structural and
everything in between, but I’ll share with you what areas of the property need to be repaired or maintained and why. I will
explain everything to you from start to finish during the home inspection process. You will leave the inspection with a
greater understanding of the properties current conditions and future needs of the property. We help the seller take
credit for the home improvement they have completed on the home they are selling.
Four Point Home Insurance Inspection Services:
The Four Point Insurance Inspection (Houston Home Insurance Inspection) is performed on behalf of the insurance
companies and, typically, as a requirement for the insurer offering insurance to the new homeowner. Insurance
companies are beginning to see the benefit of this home inspection service. The four point home insurance inspection
process is spreading across other areas of the country. The benefit to the insurance company is, obviously, reduced loss
risk on home owners insurance policies.
OPTIONAL HOME INSPECTION SERVICES
Swimming Pools, Spas, Lawn Sprinklers, Septic Systems, Water Wells, Sheds, Out Buildings, Outdoor Cooking or Gas
Appliances - Additional cost is incurred for these items.

BEWARE OF THE UNEXPERIENCED OR VOLUME DRIVEN HOUSTON HOME BUILDING INSPECTORS!
MOST HOMES AND BUILDINGS SOLD IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA ARE INSPECTED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER; HOWEVER,
NOT ALL CERTIFIED HOUSTON HOME INSPECTORS ARE CREATED EQUAL. TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER, NOT ALL HOUSTON
HOME INSPECTION COMPANIES ARE CREATED EQUALLY EITHER. IN FACT NOT ALL HOUSTON HOME INSPECTORS OR HOUSTON
HOME INSPECTION COMPANIES ARE ACTUALLY CERTIFIED HOME INSPECTORS LICENSED TO OPERATE IN THE STATE OF
TEXAS. IT SEEMS THAT MOST CERTIFIED HOUSTON HOME INSPECTORS ARE INEXPERIENCED IN THE AREAS OF RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING AND COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING. THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS TEXAS RESIDENTIAL HOME
INSPECTORS HAVE ARE TO TAKE CLASSES, PASS THE PROFESSIONAL OR LICENSED INSPECTION EXAM THROUGH THE TEXAS
REAL ESTATE COMMISSION (TREC) AND THEN THEY ARE ABLE TO START INSPECTING RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS. WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS THE BUYER OR SELLER OF THE PROPERTY, IS YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LARGEST
FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN INEXPERIENCED HANDS, AND POSSIBLY THE HANDS OF SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A LICENSED
PROFESSIONAL BUILDING INSPECTOR, THAT COULD RESULT IN COSTING YOU GREATLY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE
TEXAS LAW THAT WAS ENFORCED BY THE TEXAS RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION COMMISSION (TRCC) REQUIRING ALL TEXAS
HOME BUILDERS TO BE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS ENDED ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2009 AND WAS NOT PASSED BY TEXAS
LEGISTLATORS GOING FORWARD. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO BE LICENSED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO CUT HAIR, BUT TO BUILD
A RESIDENTIAL HOME ALL YOU NEED IS A HAMMER AND A HAND FULL OF NAILS. AMAZING!
