No two homes in Chattanooga are the same.
Some were built over 80 years ago. Others have just finished construction. Some sit on the valley floor. Others rest on the slope of Lookout Mountain. This kind of variety makes our city special, but it also means a basic, checklist-style home inspection isn’t enough.
We’ve seen it all. And we’ve learned that a proper inspection in Chattanooga must match the home.
Older homes hide older issues.
Neighborhoods like St. Elmo, Brainerd, and North Shore are full of charm, but they often come with aging plumbing, electrical work, or hidden leaks. These aren’t things most buyers can spot during a showing. But they’re the kind of issues that show up after move-in, when it’s already too late.
New builds come with new risks.
Even new homes in areas like Apison or Ooltewah can have hidden problems. Sometimes it’s rushed work. Other times, it’s overlooked details like missing insulation or drainage issues.
We don’t assume a home is perfect just because it’s new. We inspect everything.
Waterfront and mountain homes are special cases.
If you’re near water or on a hillside, expect extra pressure on foundations, more moisture, and different types of wear. These homes need an inspector who understands what to look for, because not all damage is obvious.
Why are our inspections different?
We don’t just run through a checklist. We look at the type of home, where it sits, how it was built, and how long it’s been standing. From historic bungalows to smart homes, we tailor the inspection to the property.
We’ve worked with families, investors, first-time buyers, and sellers who just want a smoother sale.
If you’re not looking under the surface, you don’t really know what you’re buying (or selling).
You only get one shot at a smooth sale!
Why Chattanooga homes need inspections that fit.
