Burgess Inspection Group Inc.

Thanks for your question! A property is always in a state of change and there could be some unforeseen deficiencies in the first inspection. It’s always best to have a company that you know and trust, like Burgess, to come in and do an inspection before you buy regardless if the seller has an inspection or not.

Thanks for your question! No, you would just need to provide an invoice of the work to a potential buyer.

Thanks for your question! We take all forms of credit card payments.

Thanks for your question! Typically, an insurance policy will not pay for an inspection.

Thanks for your question! We only inspect built-in appliances.

Thanks for your question! All minor cosmetic issues with a property are not required by the Texas Real Estate Commission to be on our inspection reports. We will note some issues, but we will focus our report on structural and safety related items.

Thanks for your question! We recommend that our clients come at the end of the inspection. Our inspector will take the time to walk you through the inspection report and answer any questions you may have. They will even take you to specific places in the home to show you exactly what they are referring to in their inspection report.

Thanks for your question! We highly recommend the remodel be completed before we inspect the property.

Thanks for your question! Your pets should either be in a kennel or away from the home at the time of inspection. We just want to make sure your furry friend does not escape while our inspectors are there.

Thanks for your question! Yes, you can be at the home during the inspection, but we prefer if the occupants are out of the property during the inspection.

Thank you for your question! We do inspections Monday through Saturday. We typically schedule inspections first thing in the morning; around 8 or 9am. Or midday around 1 or 2pm. We recommend the client arrives at the end of the inspection to review the report.

Thanks for your question! A typical inspection can last anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, or about an hour per 1000 square feet depending on age of the home.

Thanks for your question! The property does not have to be vacant for us to do an inspection. About half of the properties we inspect are occupied at the time of the inspection.

Thanks for your question! We do not provide appraisals.

Thanks for your question! An inspection will tell you the condition of the property, and an appraisal will give you the value of the property.

Thanks for your question! An inspection is not mandatory in order to sell a home, but it helps the selling process go faster. An inspection can also help you decide which items in the home you would like to fix before going to the negotiation process.

Thanks for your question! Our fees for a standard inspection are based on the square footage, age of the property and foundation type of the home.
