Services
Residential Home Inspection
Our residential home inspections evaluate property conditions for buyers and sellers. We examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. Clients receive detailed reports with digital photos and repair recommendations within 24 hours, enabling informed real estate decisions.
Commercial Property Inspection
Comprehensive commercial inspections cover structural integrity, mechanical systems, and compliance for business properties. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden issues in roofs, electrical systems, and plumbing. Reports include repair cost estimates and prioritize critical maintenance needs for investors.
Phase Inspection
Phase inspections monitor new construction quality at key development stages. We verify proper installation of foundations, framing, and mechanical systems. Our reports help homeowners ensure builder compliance with building codes and contract specifications during home construction.
Builders Warranty Inspection
Warranty inspections identify construction defects before coverage expires. We document issues with roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes. Our detailed reports help homeowners secure builder repairs and negotiate warranty-covered fixes for new properties.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, electrical faults, and insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology identifies roof leaks, HVAC inefficiencies, and plumbing issues invisible to the naked eye. We include infrared scans with all full property inspections at no extra charge.

Excellent communication. It felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Robert was on time and extremely knowledgeable. My reason for needing a home inspection was not traditional, but after explaining the situation to him, he got right on it - with a couple of laughs here and there! I received my detailed inspection report the same day! I would highly recommend ATEX Inspects. From here on out, I've got my guy!

I received an excellent inspection for pre drywall and final inspection. Robert goes up and beyond in his inspections like he is inspecting his own home. Definitely professional, friendly and knowledgeable on code etc. He is quick to respond and definitively a high recommendation from me.

Once again ATEX Inspects helped us in our decision to purchase a property. Halston was extremely thorough in his inspection and discussed with us on site what his concerns as well as his impressions were of the house. We are so happy to have such knowledgeable professionals to help us when it's time to inspect! Since time was of the essence, they were able to do the inspection within a few days and had a written report in to us the evening of the inspection. We couldn't be more pleased. Thank you!

I chose ATEX solely for their military affiliation since I am on active duty and purchasing in a state I have never lived before. Robert was prompt, knowledgeable, thorough, and very personable. I tagged along and he patiently answered any questions I had. Highly recommended for any home inspection needs.

I could not have asked for a better home inspector! Halston Welch went above and beyond to help me throughout my home building process. He did multiple phase inspections and always provided a detailed report. After each inspection he was happy to go over the report with me and answer any questions including those not listed on the report. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would happily hire and work with ATEX Inspects again in the future!
