In an attached home, knowing where your responsibility ends and the HOA's begins is half the battle. A focused inspection makes it clear — so you understand exactly what you own before you buy it.
A condo or townhome inspection is a focused evaluation tailored to attached dwellings. Rick concentrates on the interior systems and components that fall within your ownership — the areas you're responsible for maintaining and repairing — and documents them with photos.
The belief is clarity: attached homes come with a split of responsibility between owner and HOA, and that line isn't always obvious. Understanding what's yours before you buy prevents costly assumptions after closing.
As a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917), Rick gives condo and townhome buyers a clear, plain-language picture of their unit's condition across Colleyville and North Texas.
A condo or townhome inspection focuses on the interior systems you own and maintain.
Walls, ceilings, floors, and finishes within your unit's boundaries.
Your heating, cooling, and water heater — often the owner's responsibility to maintain.
Unit electrical, outlets, supply and drain lines, and fixtures serving your home.
Windows, doors, and moisture-prone areas where attached homes commonly show issues.
Buyers often assume that because a condo or townhome is newer or professionally managed, there's less to inspect. In reality, the systems inside your unit are entirely yours to maintain — and they can have the same issues as any home.
A focused inspection tells you the condition of your HVAC, water heater, plumbing, and electrical, plus any moisture or window concerns, so you know what you're taking on.
Paired with a review of the HOA's responsibilities, it gives you the full picture — what you own, what they cover, and what to plan for.
You receive a detailed, photo-rich report focused on your unit — in plain language, so the owner-versus-HOA line is clear.

Yes. The systems inside your unit — HVAC, water heater, plumbing, electrical — are typically yours to maintain and repair, and they can have the same problems as any home. A focused inspection tells you their condition before you buy.
Those are often the HOA's responsibility in an attached community, so they fall outside the unit inspection. Rick focuses on what you own and can advise you to review the HOA documents for what the association covers.
Yes — we encourage it. Being on-site lets you see any findings firsthand, ask questions in real time, and understand the home as we go. Combined with the plain-language report, it's one of the best ways to truly understand the property.
You'll receive a detailed, photo-rich report written in plain language — typically within 24 hours. It documents the property's condition clearly so you know what matters, what can wait, and what to prioritize.
