Welcome to Colony Home Inspections
Thank you for visiting the Colony Home Inspections website. If you are searching for a home inspector, you obviously have volumes of information to sort through, and an endless supply of home inspection companies to pick from. Unfortunately, there is a wide range in the quality of home inspection services being offered. At Colony Home Inspections, we strive to be different. Our years of hands-on experience in the home building industry and after thousands of home inspections performed, you can bet we have many satisfied customers in Charlotte and beyond.
How to choose an inspection company
DON'T CHOOSE AN INSPECTION COMPANY BASED ON PRICE ALONE!
Home Inspection Standards of Practice are quite limited in many ways. Some inspection companies offer lower pricing because they are able to do several inspections in a day because they only do the minimum required by the licensing board's standards of practice. Instead, find a good inspector based on their quality of service, knowledge, experience, etc. and then select the level of services based on your needs and budget.
Want to know if our competition is doing the minimum? Ask them these questions:
- Do they walk on the roof when readily accessible, or just look from the ground?
- Do they walk on trusses or ceiling joists when readily accessible to inspect the back corners of the attic space, or do they only stand on the storage platform?
- Do they inspect all of similar items, or just representative numbers of: windows, doors, cabinets, electrical receptacles, etc.?
- Do they use a probe thermometer to test HVAC function, or just verify heated/cooled air is produced?
- Do they use a pressure gauge to verify proper water pressure on the home, or just say there was enough pressure to allow functional flow?
- Do they offer the ancillary services you need, or just sub-contract that out to other companies?
There are many other ways we at Colony Home Inspections go above and beyond to help you with the information you need to make good decisions. If you're still not sure, just give us a call. We would love to help you in the decision process of not only who to use, but what services you may need.

Very Pleased with Service
I was very impressed with your inspection and so was my realtor Chris. He said he could use you for some going forward. He liked that you got the stuff that was important and not just ripped the builder like some other inspectors he has worked with in the past. Our superintendent was obligated to fix the things you suggested and he explained what he would not and why. So my wife and I were please with your service.

Excellent Work
[The inspector] was very professional and walked me thru things he felt needed to be fixed. I felt like I had knowledge of what was found within my house. I truly appreciate his expertise.

Very Personable
[He] was very polite, professional and showed concern for (what I felt) my safety. He was on time and very thorough with the inspection and the submitted report. He was informative and helpful with all the questions I asked. He would stop what he was doing when I voiced a concern about something totally different, just to address my concern right then and there. And he even Thanked me for pointing it out – even though he probably already noticed it. Yes, I would recommend Expert Property Inspections, Inc to my friends, especially if Ken was assigned the job.
