Why Total Home
We Know What
to Look For
A home is the largest purchase most people ever make — and the defects that matter most are rarely the ones you'd catch on a walkthrough.
Roof leaks
Working quietly above a finished ceiling.
Electrical hazards
Overloaded or improperly wired panels.
Failing HVAC
A furnace or AC on its last season.
Bad grading
Channeling water toward the foundation.
Hidden moisture
Rot or mold in crawlspaces and attics.
Aging plumbing
Old pipes, water heaters, drainage.
Every inspection follows the InterNACHI Residential Standards of Practice — a non-invasive, visual examination of every accessible system, in plain English you can actually use. We're not here to scare you or rubber-stamp the house. We're here to tell you the truth about what you're buying.
Georgia doesn't license home inspectors. The only thing standing behind your inspection is the inspector's training and track record — which is exactly why our InterNACHI certification and history here since 2002 matter.

I've purchased 5 homes and never been so impressed with an inspection. Chris's customer service is absolutely phenomenal, the inspection was extremely thorough — we learned so much about our new house — and the report was incredibly clear and comprehensive.

Common Questions
Home Inspection FAQs
How long does a home inspection take?
Most take 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on the home's size, age, and condition. We don't rush — a thorough inspection of a typical metro-Atlanta home isn't something you can do in an hour.
Should I attend the inspection?
Yes — we encourage it. The most valuable part is the walkthrough at the end, where we show you the findings in person and answer your questions on the spot.
Is a home inspection required in Georgia?
No. Georgia doesn't license home inspectors and doesn't require an inspection to buy a home. But your lender may, and skipping the inspection on a six-figure purchase is a risk most buyers shouldn't take.
What does a home inspection cost?
It depends mainly on the home's square footage and age. What you're paying for is an inspector telling you the truth — with a track record here since 2002. It's the most expensive purchase of your life, and the report routinely saves buyers far more than the fee.
What happens if the inspection finds problems?
Nearly every home has issues — the question is which ones matter. We separate the urgent and costly from the routine, so you can decide whether to negotiate repairs, request a credit, or move forward. Findings are leverage, not a deal-killer.
Do you inspect new construction?
Yes. New doesn't mean flawless — we catch builder oversights while there's still time to have them corrected under warranty.
How soon do I get the report?
The same day — typically within 2 to 4 hours of finishing the inspection.
