Home Inspection in Dallas, TX - One Team, Every Service

TLC Home inspections in Dallas evaluate the structure, systems, and safety of a property before you buy, sell, or accept a new build. TLC Home Inspectors performs TREC licensed inspections across Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Plano, Garland, and Arlington. Every inspection is documented, covering structural, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, appliance, and optional systems.

Dallas homes sit on expansive clay soil that drives foundation movement, so local inspection experience matters. Call (214) 447-0707 to schedule your inspection with a TREC licensed inspector.

A buyer’s home inspection documents the condition of a property during the option period, before closing. This inspection applies to resale homes, condominiums, and townhomes across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The inspector examines each accessible system and reports deficiencies that affect safety, function, or value.

The inspection follows the TREC Standards of Practice, the minimum requirements set by the Texas Real Estate Commission for inspecting one to four family dwellings. Findings are recorded on the REI 7-6 form and organized by system, with photos of each reported deficiency. The inspector reports water pressure that exceeds 80 psi, cooling and heating operation, electrical panel conditions, and visible structural movement.

A buyer’s inspection gives you a documented basis to negotiate repairs or reconsider the purchase before your option period ends.

A pre-listing inspection identifies repair items before a home goes on the market. This inspection applies to Dallas homeowners preparing to sell in competitive submarkets such as Lakewood, Lake Highlands, and Oak Cliff. The seller receives the same REI 7-6 report a buyer’s inspector would produce.

Sellers use the report to address deficiencies in advance and reduce surprises during the buyer’s inspection. Common findings in older Dallas housing stock include foundation settlement, aged roof coverings, and outdated electrical panels. Correcting items early keeps negotiations focused on terms rather than condition.

A pre-listing inspection puts the seller in control of the repair conversation instead of reacting to the buyer’s report.

A new construction phase inspection examines a home during and after the building process, independent of the builder. Phase inspections apply to homes under construction across growth corridors in Frisco, McKinney, Celina, and northern Denton County. An independent inspection verifies that work meets the TREC Standards of Practice and identifies issues before drywall conceals them.

Phase inspections are commonly scheduled at the foundation stage, the framing and pre-drywall stage, and final completion. The inspector documents framing, mechanical rough-ins, and structural details while they remain visible. A final phase inspection then evaluates the completed home the same way a buyer’s inspection would.

An 11-month warranty inspection evaluates a newly built home before the first-year builder’s warranty expires. This inspection applies to homeowners who purchased new construction in the Dallas-Fort Worth area within the past year. The report gives the homeowner a documented list of warranty items to submit to the builder.

First-year homes settle, and Dallas clay soil accelerates movement that produces drywall cracks, door misalignment, and grading issues. The inspector reviews the same systems as a standard inspection and flags conditions the builder is responsible to correct under the warranty.

An 11-month inspection captures warranty repairs while the builder is still obligated to complete them.
