Why Choose Professional Home Inspections LLC
I'm YOUR Home Inspector, NOT your realtor's
My Company is typically not referred and is even disliked by the majority of real estate agents and I can tell you why: it’s change. Most people dislike change, but I’m are here to tell you that the home inspection industry is changing. It’s evolving to be more thorough and provide MORE information than ever before.
Today’s informed and technologically inclined home buyer has driven this shift in the industry. They know there are tools and resources available to give them MORE information, and they are not afraid to seek it out.
As the first to bring this in-depth inspection method to Northeast Tennessee, it has been met with opposition from real estate agents in the area. Opposition such as not including my company on an agency’s or realtor’s “preferred” list, trying to prevent me from inspecting properties altogether, and so on. I use this criticism as fuel and simply turn it into MORE.
As the whole of the industry continues to shift over time, this style of inspecting will eventually become the norm. In the meantime, you, the home buyer, have an in-depth thorough option available to you. I report on MORE and have the experience, knowledge, toolset, and tech to do so, striving to adapt the newest assets as they become available in the business.
I clearly have the determination to continue doing what is in the best interests of my clients, no matter the pessimism I meet along the way from my peers. Offering MORE is what I do at Professional Home Inspections, one inspection at a time, every time.
I report on MORE and have the experience, knowledge, toolset, and tech to do so, striving to adapt the newest assets as they become available in the business.

Home Inspection Cost: Excellent Value for Your Money
My fees for Home Inspections are based on the value that I provide. While my fees are competitive, I'm one of the higher priced Home Inspection Companies in the area and believe my Inspection Report and Online Reviews speak as to why. Not everyone needs or even wants the detailed and comprehensive style of Home Inspection that I provide, and for those who are searching for the cheapest price, I will not be your company.
Ethics, Integrity, & Morals - Unbiased
Most likely you found this website from a Google Search or a friend or family member's recommendation, as the majority of Realtor's do not refer my company to their clients, as they feel I produce too long of a home inspection report and provide too much information. I exceed the minimum reporting requirements mandated by the State of TN whenever and wherever possible to give you as much information about the home that I can.
Technology Improves Home Inspections
I utilize the newest and best technology and tools to provide YOU with as much information as possible about your potential new home. Such as an Infrared camera, Laser Level, Crawl space rover (for hard to access areas), Aerial drone (for steep roofs that can't be walked), moisture meters, circuit analyzers, combustion gas meters, CO sensors, clamp meters, 360 cameras, etc.
