What I look for during home inspections in Palestine Texas
- Historic construction. Older homes can have balloon framing, knob-and-tube wiring remnants, original windows and aging chimneys. I document their condition so you can plan repairs.
- Pier-and-beam foundations. I check piers, beams and floor framing for rot, settling and termite damage.
- Renovated older homes. Flips and updates sometimes hide problems behind new finishes. Infrared imaging and moisture meters help find what fresh paint covers.
- Roofs and drainage. Large, complex rooflines are common on Victorian homes. My drone checks valleys, flashing and chimneys up close.

Palestine Texas home inspections FAQs
Should I inspect a recently renovated older home?
Yes. Renovations can look great and still hide wiring, plumbing or moisture problems. An inspection checks the work behind the finishes.
Do you check chimneys and fireplaces?
I inspect what’s visible and accessible, and I’ll recommend a chimney sweep evaluation when the flue needs a closer look.
Is a termite inspection worth it on an older home?
Absolutely. Older wood framing is especially vulnerable, and I inspect only, so there’s no treatment sales pitch.
