"From historic homes near Oak Street to the new construction near Alliance — SAFE brings a builder's eye and photo-rich reports to every Roanoke home and business."
Roanoke has transformed itself into one of North Texas's most distinctive small cities — officially the 'Unique Dining Capital of Texas,' with a walkable historic Oak Street lined with popular restaurants that draw visitors from across the region. Around that vibrant downtown, Roanoke has seen rapid growth near the Alliance corridor, blending established older homes with a wave of new residential construction served by the well-regarded Northwest ISD. SAFE Property Inspections, based nearby in Colleyville, inspects homes and commercial properties throughout Roanoke.
Owner Rick Warner brings a builder's eye to Roanoke's mix of historic and new. A TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917) and CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspector who led a 16-lot residential development in the area, Rick understands both older homes and brand-new construction, and exactly where each tends to have problems. He documents every finding with photos and explains it in plain language.
Roanoke's range of housing means a range of concerns. North Texas's expansive clay soils stress foundations across the area, older homes near downtown may carry aging systems and decades of past repairs, and the new construction driving Roanoke's growth can hide builder defects behind fresh finishes. Hot summers and spring storms test roofs and drainage on homes of every age. Call or text Rick at 817-657-4736 to schedule your Roanoke inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by Rick — thorough, photo-documented, and explained in plain language. Here's what SAFE offers across Roanoke 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."
