"From the historic homes near Grapevine's Main Street to the newer neighborhoods along the lake — SAFE brings a builder's eye and plain-language, photo-rich reports to every Grapevine home and business."
Grapevine blends small-town charm with big-city convenience like few places in North Texas. Known as the 'Christmas Capital of Texas,' its beautifully preserved historic Main Street, thriving wineries, and the shores of Lake Grapevine draw visitors from across the region — all while sitting right at the doorstep of DFW International Airport. Its housing runs from character-filled older homes near downtown to newer master-planned neighborhoods and lakeside properties, served by the well-regarded Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. SAFE Property Inspections, based in adjacent Colleyville, inspects homes and commercial properties throughout Grapevine.
Owner Rick Warner knows this community intimately — he operates from neighboring Colleyville, has called North Texas home since the early 1990s, and led a 16-lot residential development just minutes away. As a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917) and CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspector with a builder's background, he brings hands-on, regional knowledge to every Grapevine inspection, from a 1950s cottage near Main Street to a brand-new build near the lake.
Grapevine's range of housing means a range of concerns. North Texas's expansive clay soils put ongoing stress on foundations across the area, while the older homes near downtown may carry aging wiring, outdated plumbing, and past repairs, and newer construction can hide builder defects. The area's hot summers and heavy spring storms test roofs, gutters, and drainage on homes of every age.
That's why Grapevine homeowners and agents choose SAFE. You get a licensed, commercially-certified inspector who documents every finding with photos, delivers a plain-language report you can actually use, and walks the home with you to answer every question. Call or text Rick at 817-657-4736 to schedule your Grapevine inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by Rick — thorough, photo-documented, and explained in plain language. Here's what SAFE offers across Grapevine 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."
