"From established custom estates on the west side to new gated construction near the Grapevine line — SAFE Property Inspections brings a builder's eye, TREC and commercial certification, and same-day photo-rich reports to every Colleyville home and commercial property."
Colleyville is one of North Texas's most sought-after addresses — an affluent, low-density city of large lots and custom homes tucked into northeast Tarrant County between Grapevine and Southlake, just minutes from DFW International Airport. Known for its top-rated Grapevine-Colleyville ISD schools, its equestrian heritage and winding, tree-lined streets, and a housing stock that runs from established custom estates to gated new construction, Colleyville consistently ranks among the best places to live in Texas. SAFE Property Inspections is based right here in Colleyville — owner Rick Warner operates from 704 Field Street — and inspects homes and commercial properties throughout the city and across North Texas.
Rick isn't just an inspector who serves Colleyville — he built here. Before founding SAFE Property Inspections in 2023, he led the planning, funding, and execution of a 16-lot residential land development right here in Colleyville, and he's called North Texas home since the early 1990s. That gives him a builder's-eye understanding of how homes in this area actually go together — from the custom estates on the west side to the newer gated communities near the Grapevine line — and exactly where the corners sometimes get cut. When Rick inspects a Colleyville home, he brings the perspective of someone who has developed land, built homes, and watched this community grow.
Every SAFE inspection is handled personally by Rick, a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917) and CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspector who brings PMP-certified process discipline and more than twenty years of technical-education experience to the work. He believes an inspection should leave you with real understanding — not just a checklist — so he documents every finding with photos and explains it in plain language, whether you're buying a first home, a custom estate, or a commercial property.
Colleyville's setting brings regional challenges an experienced local inspector knows to watch for. North Texas sits on expansive clay soils that swell and shrink with the seasons, putting real stress on the foundations and slabs beneath even the finest Colleyville homes, while the area's brutal summer heat and heavy spring storms test roofs, drainage, and HVAC systems year after year. Larger custom homes bring their own complexity — pools and spas, multiple HVAC zones, extensive electrical and plumbing, and sometimes sewer lines running beneath mature landscaping — each a place where problems can hide from an untrained eye.
And with a housing range that spans decades — from established custom homes to brand-new builds — each Colleyville property carries its own era-specific concerns, from aging systems and past repairs to builder defects in new construction. That's exactly why Colleyville homeowners choose SAFE: a licensed, commercially-certified inspector who lives and works in this community, delivers detailed photo-rich reports, and personally walks the home with you to answer every question. When you're making one of the largest investments of your life, local expertise makes all the difference. Call or text Rick at 817-657-4736 to schedule your Colleyville inspection.

Real reviews from North Texas clients who have trusted Rick and SAFE Property Inspections with their biggest investment.
"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. You will be glad you had Rick evaluate your property."
