"From historic Craftsman homes near downtown to brand-new builds on the growing edges of the city — SAFE brings a builder's eye and plain-language, photo-rich reports to every Fort Worth home and business."
Fort Worth is where the West begins — a major American city that pairs its cattle-town heritage at the Stockyards with the culture of the Museum District, the energy of Sundance Square and TCU, and one of the fastest growth rates in the country. Spread across a huge geographic area, Fort Worth offers just about every kind of housing imaginable: historic Craftsman and Tudor homes in neighborhoods like Fairmount and Ryan Place, mid-century ranches, and sprawling new subdivisions pushing out toward Aledo, Saginaw, and the far north. SAFE Property Inspections, based in nearby Colleyville, inspects homes and commercial properties throughout Fort Worth.
That enormous range of housing is exactly why an experienced, local inspector matters here. Owner Rick Warner is a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917) and CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspector who led a 16-lot residential development in the area and has called North Texas home since the early 1990s. His builder's background means he understands how homes across Fort Worth's many eras were actually built — and where each generation of construction tends to fail.
Fort Worth's homes carry era-specific and regional concerns alike. The area's expansive clay soils stress foundations across the city, historic homes near downtown may hide knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, outdated plumbing, and decades of past repairs, and new construction on the growing edges can carry builder defects. Hot summers, heavy storms, and aging infrastructure test roofs, drainage, and HVAC on homes of every age.
Whether you're buying a century-old home on the Near Southside, selling in Arlington Heights, or closing on new construction up north, SAFE gives you a licensed, commercially-certified inspector who documents everything with photos and explains it plainly. Call or text Rick at 817-657-4736 to schedule your Fort Worth inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by Rick — thorough, photo-documented, and explained in plain language. Here's what SAFE offers across Fort Worth and North Texas:
A complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the home's structure, systems, and safety — the foundation of every confident purchase.
Selling? Know what buyers will find before they do, and negotiate from a position of strength.
Independent inspections that catch builder defects before closing or before your warranty expires — on their dime, not yours.
CCPIA-certified inspections for offices, retail, light commercial, and multi-family — protecting high-dollar transactions.
Camera-scoping the main line for damage, blockages, and root intrusion — a specialty few inspectors offer.
Infrared scanning that reveals hidden moisture, energy loss, and electrical hot spots the eye can't see.
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."
