I don’t pretend to cover every Houston ZIP from Bush Airport to the Ship Channel equally. My honest Houston focus is south and southwest Houston, specifically the Meyerland, Westbury, Sharpstown, and Fondren belt and nearby neighborhoods I can reach on a realistic route from Missouri City. If your address is outside that corridor, send it and I’ll tell you plainly whether the timing works. ## Inspection services in Houston ### Buyer’s inspection See what is fine, what needs work, and what may be worth negotiating before you commit to the home. ### Seller or pre-listing inspection Find issues before buyers do so you can repair, disclose, or price the property with fewer surprises. ### New construction and phase inspections Document punch-list items during builder walk-throughs, pre-drywall, and final inspections when scheduled. ### Homeowner or maintenance inspection Get a clear look at systems and structure when something feels off, after storms, or before major repairs. ## ZIP codes Primary southwest examples include 77096, 77035, 77025, 77074, 77036, 77071, and 77031. This page does not claim coverage of all 100-plus Houston ZIPs. ## Neighborhoods and communities Meyerland, Westbury, Braeswood and Braeswood Place, Willow Meadows, Fondren Southwest, Brays Oaks, Sharpstown, Braeburn, Westwood, and nearby southwest neighborhoods. ## What to know about Houston homes ### Expansive clay foundations Houston coastal prairie clays shrink and swell with moisture, making drainage and foundation symptoms important inspection topics. ### Brays Bayou flood history Meyerland, Westbury, and nearby areas experienced major floods, including Harvey. Project Brays reduced risk for many structures but did not erase flood risk; check the property’s FEMA map and elevation history. ### Mid-century homes and rebuilds Many southwest streets mix postwar homes with renovations and rebuilds. Roofs, HVAC, prior flood repairs, and electrical updates vary house to house. ### Honest service radius Cypress, The Woodlands, and far-west edges are separate route conversations. This page is for south and southwest Houston coverage from Missouri City. ## Questions about inspections in Houston ### Do you inspect anywhere in Houston? I focus on south and southwest Houston from my Missouri City base. Send the address; if it is outside a practical route, I’ll tell you. ### Do you inspect Meyerland and Westbury? Yes. Those Brays Bayou corridor neighborhoods are in my primary Houston focus. ### Will you say if a house is in a flood zone? I can discuss visible drainage and grading and recommend that you verify FEMA zones and flood-insurance needs. Flood-zone determination is map and insurance territory, not a substitute for surveying. ### How do I book?
