What a Comprehensive Home Inspection Covers
One Inspection. The Whole Home.
WHAT IT IS
The comprehensive home inspection is a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and safety. It covers every major system and visible component — and it's the inspection Darrell performs most often for buyers, sellers, and homeowners across McKinney, Collin County, and the surrounding North Texas communities.
WHY YOU NEED IT
Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make. A thorough inspection removes the guesswork and replaces it with facts — the true condition of the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and every other major system. You walk away knowing exactly what you're dealing with.
WHY IT MATTERS
A thorough inspection removes the unknowns and replaces them with the true condition of the home. You'll know exactly what you're dealing with — what's in good shape, what needs attention now, and what to plan for down the road. That knowledge is leverage, whether you're negotiating a purchase or preparing to list.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A detailed, photo-rich digital report delivered within 24 hours — often the same day. Findings are written in plain language and prioritized so you and your real estate agent can act on them immediately.

BUYERS INSPECTION
In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well-informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us perform a professional home inspection. We are highly trained to identify problem areas - both small and large - that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention.
SELLERS INSPECTION
Whether you are selling your own home or using a Realtor®, it's always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection done of the house in it's current condition. Like we said, all homes have strengths and weaknesses. We help you determine how serious any problems are, which one's must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation.

NEW CONSTRUCTION/PHASE INSPECTION
In a new home, the quality of construction is often not what it used to be. In today's fast growing economy, when a new home is built there is always a possibility of deficiencies. To protect their investment, it is common for buyers to personally hire home specialists to review their properties during various stages of the construction process, including slab, frame, and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home that you've always dreamed about. |
WARRANTY INSPECTION
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time, the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye and at MPI we want you to get the quality of home you paid for, so we create a report of justifiable issues that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road.
For clients whom I've served in the initial inspection, I always offer a discount rate for the 1-Year Warranty Inspection.
