Home Inspector in Dallas, TX

Dallas is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and its homes tell that story. The M Streets and Lakewood are known for 1920s and 1930s Tudor and Craftsman houses, Oak Cliff mixes historic cottages with renovated bungalows near Bishop Arts, and Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow are full of mid-century and later ranch-style homes. Closer to downtown and Uptown, new townhomes and infill builds replace older housing lot by lot. With that much variety in age and construction style, a one-size-fits-all inspection simply does not work. Texas Inspection Services brings a careful, experienced inspection to Dallas homebuyers and sellers from its base in Haslet.

Anthony Ivory, the owner and inspector, holds three credentials worth knowing about. He is a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®), an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector, and a Texas Real Estate Commission Professional Inspector under license #24660. Fifteen years of field experience back up those titles. Each Dallas inspection follows the TREC Standards of Practice, so your report covers the structural, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and appliance systems that Texas requires an inspector to evaluate, written in the format agents and lenders expect, with deficiencies called out plainly so nothing important gets buried.

Clients often say Anthony is the most patient inspector they have worked with. He explains what a finding means, why it matters and how urgent it may be, and he encourages you to attend so you can learn the house as he goes. His Spectora reports are organized by system, packed with photos and simple to share electronically, and sample reports are available on the website if you want to see one first. Agents, builders, mortgage firms and banks trust his work, and a 5.0-star average from 30 reviews reflects consistent, professional service.

Dallas County sits on some of the most expansive clay in Texas, and foundation movement is a familiar topic here. Signs like stair-step cracks in brick, uneven floors, separated trim and doors that will not latch can point to soil shifting beneath the slab or piers. Older homes may also carry outdated wiring, galvanized supply lines or cast iron drains, while hail from spring storms can shorten a roof’s life well ahead of schedule. Summers are long and hot, so an air conditioner that is undersized or near the end of its service life will show it. Infill new builds still benefit from phase inspections before drywall and concrete cover the work.

A good inspection gives you leverage and peace of mind during the option period. Anthony provides comprehensive home inspections, pre-listing inspections for Dallas sellers, new construction phase and 11-month builder warranty inspections, focused roof and attic, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC evaluations, and commercial property inspections. Every report is designed to help you make a confident decision, whether that means negotiating repairs, planning future maintenance or simply moving forward with confidence in the home you have chosen.
