About Me

Jeffrey Knight owner of Knight Home Inspection. TREC license number: 25885, TDA license number 0908461 Licensed and Insured

After 23 years of faithful service I live by the Navy core values of honor, courage and commitment. Another key trait I have learned during my Navel career is attention to detail, in the Navy any small detail missed could cost lives, now it could cost someone their livelihood. My promise to you is absolute attention to the details on the investment of a lifetime, your home. As a licensed TREC professional home inspector my extensive training and expertise in real estate will ensure you purchase with confidence. I am a TREC/TDA licensed Professional Real Estate and wood destroying insects inspector. I maintain professional and E&O insurance. My goal is to protect you during your home purchase and ensure your complete satisfaction. I look forward to serving you!!!

Please note!!! You are highly encouraged to review the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice (TREC SOP) prior to scheduling your home inspection service to help better understand the inspection process and limitations of the inspection services provided at:

100 % Satisfaction guarantee !!!

I am 100% dedicated to a high quality inspection! While most competitors schedule 2-3 inspections per day, I usually only schedule 1 inspection per day. This ensures I perform a very detailed inspection and walkthrough with the client, without worry of being rushed to make my next appointment. I am completely dedicated to the highest quality performance and customer satisfaction. I will always get back to you and return calls. If you're not completely satisfied with my inspection I will work with you to resolve the issues or pay up to equal value of the original cost for a new inspection by a company of your choice. Some restrictions may apply.

Professional FAA licensed drone pilot

FAA licensed drone pilot. Extensive experience! I have 200+ flight hours as a qualified Navy drone pilot as well as providing professional services. Aerial photography or video. Restrictions may apply.

Roof bulge found by a home inspector during a home inspection

Drone footage

Having the ability to fly a drone above the house can reveal defects not noticeable by walking on the roof. This aerial coverage revealed a bulge in the sheathing under the shingles. This type of discovery can save you thousands in repairs.

Advanced software for home inspectors for home inspection

Same day digital report with action list that enables you to provide a detailed list of repairs to the seller for negotiations

I use the latest inspection software for a comprehensive and professional digital inspection report. Each report will detail all defects discovered with full color pictures, general locations and recommendations on how to proceed with correcting the problem. I always go over the report with the buyer and/or realtor on-site if available, if not able to meet at the home I will always go over the inspection report by phone. Additionally, my software generates an ACTION LIST that gives you and/or your real estate agent the ability to edit the inspection report by choosing the discrepancies you wish to send to the seller for negotiation. The action list creates an easy to understand repair action list for negotiations/repairs/credit action. I promise you same day reports, usually within a few hours after the inspection is completed or your money back!

example report

Gas leak discovered during a residential home inspection

We notice the little things. In the picture above a small gas leak was discovered. This can be a dangerous situation!

During my 23 years in the Navy I worked on and managed the maintenance of aircraft. Any small detail missed on an aircraft inspection could cost aircrew their life. I am programed to inspect with integrity and complete attention to the details. This is an investment of a lifetime and I understand how important it is to make an informed and confident decision when purchasing your home.

Our Services

Purchase inspections

Purchasing a home is a life changing event. With a professional home inspection you can know exactly what you‘re buying and have confidence you‘re making the right decision. I only operate using the highest TREC inspection standards and ethics in the industry. In addition, don't get stuck with expensive repairs when you can have the seller make the repairs for you, and you will have more negotiating power. With my experience and training you can be sure you know exactly what you're getting. Click the "TREC SOP" button at the bottom of the webpage or the "what's inspected at the top" to see the minimum inspection standards inspectors are required to follow. I am not a minimum standards type of person so you can be assured I will go above and beyond the minimum.

New construction inspections

New construction homes are not exempt from problems. I find hazardous gas leaks, HVAC issues, damaged roofing, foundation issues, hazardous electrical issues, missing insulation, inoperable windows, water leaks, damaged countertops, damaged appliances, and much more. Make sure to hold the builder to a high standard and have all discrepancies fixed prior to closing. There are always discrepancies on new constructions, don't get caught off guard, let me protect you and your family! Get a 3rd party inspection, trust me!!!

Pre-listing inspections

Don't get caught off guard! If you're a motivated seller you want to be prepared and ensure a smooth transaction. Let me perform a pre-listing inspection and don't get caught off guard by any necessary repairs.

End of Warranty (11 month inspection) or yearly check up

Prior to your 1 year warranty ending have your home inspected and ensure any warranty items are covered at no cost to you. Ensure your home's major systems are preforming safe/efficiently and are not in need of repairs; catching problems before complete failure will save you time and money. Being proactive instead of reactive is a better way to manage your home's integrity and performance. Let me inspect your major systems to ensure your home is safe and all systems are operating to their full potential.

Wood Destroying Insects (WDI) or Termite

I am certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)

TDA#0908461

Taking a VA loan? A VA loan requires a WDI inspection to approve the loan. Get the complete home inspection by me, no need to have two separate inspections, and it will save you CASH!!!

Thermal Imaging scan

Thermal imaging technology or Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) is extremely useful in detecting insufficient insulation, HVAC air duct leaks, plumbing water leaks, electrical overloads and much more during a professional home inspection. This picture illustrates how missing insulation at inaccessible areas of the attic can be detected using thermal imaging. This catch will save money on energy bills!

Septic inspections

I can perform an aerobic septic system check for you. Septic systems can be a costly repair as well as a huge inconvenience if not operating properly, nobody wants to deal with a sewage backup.

Sprinkler system inspected by an home inspector

Landscape irrigation systems

I can test the sprinkler system to ensure proper operation. It's common for these systems to be out of use for long periods and not functioning properly. A sprinkler system can be a costly repair. Let me make sure it’s right!

Pool and spa inspections

A pool or spa can cost you if it hasn't been well maintained. Let me inspect the pool and equipment, this can help to get any repairs fixed prior to purchase. I perform a general pool inspection so you will be informed.

Workshop or additional structure inspection

Additional structures/Outbuildings

Don't forget about the workshop. Additional buildings are just as important as your home. Get a detailed inspection of your additional building and avoid any costly repairs prior to purchase.
