Meet Your Inspector
I built Cactus Residential Inspections on a simple promise: you deserve an inspector who works only for you. I don’t answer to agents, sellers, or anyone with a stake in the transaction and I refuse to buy into fees to place me on an agent’s inspector list so you won’t find us there. My job is to protect your investment, your safety, and your peace of mind.
Whether it’s your own home, a new purchase, a sale, or the forever home of an aging parent, you can rely on an inspection that’s thorough, unbiased, and focused entirely on your safety and peace of mind
We’re a team here — I take care of the inspections and technical side, and Dee keeps everything running smoothly with scheduling, office support, and marketing. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to answer your questions and pride ourselves on being responsive.
*Additional costs and fees apply for international inspections. Contact us for details.
5 Ways a Home Inspection Can Benefit You
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Identification of Potential Safety Hazards
A home inspection can reveal potential hazards such as faulty electrical wiring, gas leaks, and structural issues that could pose a danger to the inhabitants of the home.
Detection of Costly Repairs
An inspector can identify issues that could lead to expensive repairs down the line, such as a leaky roof or a malfunctioning HVAC system.
Peace of Mind
Knowing the condition of a home before making a purchase can provide peace of mind and help buyers make a more informed decision.
Negotiation Tool
If issues are identified during an inspection, buyers can use this information to negotiate the price of the home or ask the seller to make repairs.
Condition of the Home
A home inspection can give buyers a comprehensive understanding of the condition of the home, including the condition of major systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, as well as the overall condition of the home's structure and foundation.
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
While Cactus Residential Inspections LLC. encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.
Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.
How much does a home inspection cost?

How long does a home inspection take?
Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
Should I attend the inspection?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
