Our Story

Professional, Reliable, Personable

The Liberty Difference

Finding a home inspector isn’t difficult, finding a good home inspector is. Liberty Inspections was started with the idea that home buyers shouldn’t risk putting their trust in mediocrity. Too many inspectors out there prioritize maximizing profits and limiting their own liability at the expense of their client’s best interests. Few one-man-shops have the oversight and quality control to be effective long-term partners.

Liberty’s focus has always been you, the client

We don’t see the relationships we build as transactional, but rather as a commitment we make to empower and protect our clients. Inspections can provide useful information for real estate negotiations. A good home inspector should also help teach you how to operate and maintain your home. We protect clients from costly, unexpected repairs by finding issues before they become your issues. We are also always available to answer questions when you do need work done on your home so you don’t spend money you don’t need to spend.

Our promise to you

Every client we work with receives our ‘Liberty is Long-Term’ promise. We will be with you before, during, and after your inspection, for as long as you own your home. We have our own customer service team who will be here to answer your calls, texts, and emails. You also have a direct line to your inspector, who has undergone some of the most rigorous training in the industry. You can be confident that you’ll always be able to get a timely response. Our reports are delivered same day and we work tirelessly to meet your deadlines.

The Liberty Difference means that average is never good enough. We aim to make the inspection experience easier, more professional, and hopefully even a little bit fun for our clients and real estate partners.
