What Customers Say
★★★★★
Josh was incredible to work with. I truly mean that. He was attentive and was able to get our home inspected the next day.
Additionally, he allowed us to attend while he inspected and gave his honest feedback. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.

★★★★★
Josh is an extremely knowledgeable inspector who produced a very detailed report, which I really appreciated as a first time homebuyer for an older home. He was very efficient and able to accommodate my short turnaround time, while also wonderfully patient when some inconvenient external factors out of his control arose that delayed his ability to access the property. His attention to detail, enthusiasm to answer my many questions, and experience in the construction sector gave me a lot of confidence in the thoroughness of his report!

★★★★★
Josh was a pleasure to work with. He was on time and thorough. Even though the builder made things difficult, he kept on top of it, and communicated with me.
He found a lot of discrepancies that both myself and the contractor had missed, saving both headaches and money. Well worth the cost. Thanks Josh!
Follow up inspection verified that several important issues were addressed by the builder. I will definitely use Josh again for the 11 month warranty inspection. Thank you sir for your excellent inspection and follow up!

FAQ
Decatur Home Inspection FAQ
Do you inspect historic homes in Oakhurst and Winnona Park?
Yes. I specialize in historic homes. I know exactly where to look for knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, and settling foundations common in 1920s bungalows.
Do you check for DeKalb County water compliance during the inspection? Yes. DeKalb County requires specific water conservation standards for residential resale on homes built before 1993. I inspect fixture flow rates to verify they meet federal standards. If they pass, you will get the signed form with your report.
What should I expect to pay for a home inspection in Decatur, GA? Most Decatur inspections range between $300 and $600, with typical single-family homes averaging $425 to $500. Prices vary based on total square footage, crawlspace complexity, property age, and optional add-ons like continuous radon testing. I offer fixed pricing so there are no surprises.
