"Your home is likely the largest investment you'll ever make. SAFE Property Inspections is built on a simple belief — you deserve to truly understand it, not just receive a checklist."
We believe an inspection should leave you with real understanding — not just a checklist. Buying a home or a commercial property is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, and you deserve to walk into that decision with clear eyes and full confidence in what you're taking on.
That belief shapes how every inspection is run. Owner Rick Warner brings more than twenty years of technical-education experience and PMP-certified process discipline to the work — so the report you receive is thorough, consistent, and explained in plain language you can actually use to make your decision and ask for the right repairs.

Rick spent more than twenty years at Siemens specializing in technical education — developing course content and mentoring the technicians and instructors who went on to train others. He's also worked the other side of construction directly, as a licensed builder in Michigan and later leading the planning, funding, and execution of a 16-lot residential land development in Colleyville.
He's called North Texas home since the early 1990s — long enough to have watched our building science evolve firsthand, from open attics to sealed ones and the growing role ERVs now play in North Texas homes. Today he runs every SAFE inspection with the same standard: thorough, consistent, and built to help you actually understand what you're buying.
"Rick is great with first time buyers! He explains things thoroughly and gives them a home maintenance book. His reports are the most detailed I have seen and they make it easy to ask for repairs. He is a very likeable guy! Plus, he is one of the few inspectors you will find that can scope the plumbing lines. I highly recommend Rick Warner for your next home inspection!"
"Rick knows the inspection business and does a really thorough job of making sure that a home owner knows exactly what needs to be done to get the house sold. He also comes at it from an engineer's perspective, so he is even more detailed. Commercial property buyers and sellers are even more protected in their high-dollar transactions. Safe Property Inspections is just that! Making sure you are safe in moving forward with buying or selling real estate. You will be glad you had Rick evaluate your property."
"Rick Werner is the best! We really appreciate all the care and attention to detail he took while inspecting our new home. I was really impressed with how thorough the inspection was and photos taken along the way, the services are outstanding! Thank you Rick! -Sarah and Troy"
