Property inspections since 2000. Offering weekend inspections and extended hours at request!
Our vision is to provide a great inspection at a reasonable cost. We will provide you with answers to any questions that you may have. By being an informed homebuyer, we hope that any anxieties you may have had are now in the past. Our inspection will offer you the “peace of mind” you deserve.
At Mecklenburg Inspections, we are committed to giving our clients the best inspection possible. Our goal is to provide you with an impartial third party inspection, which will give you complete, quality information and help to ease the stress of buying a home. Our inspections take several hours depending on the size and age of the home and will make you an informed buyer. A rule of thumb is one hour per thousand square feet of heated space. Photos and a detailed report are available to you within 24 hours of the inspection.
