The Charlotte NC and Fort Mill SC area's only IHINA certified independent inspector! Ask other inspectors why they are not members
of the IHINA ! (Its because they market their services to realtors who make a commission on houses sold)

Bonus included in new home inspections: My new home inspections include workmanship issues.
I have Supra key (activekey) access for Charlotte and York county areas.

Tired of vague inspection reports that just recommend a contractor "evaluate further"? That is all that is commonly done in this business, just the minimum. Check out my sample reports below that show the extra detail and effort provided! My highly technical background has taught me that attention to detail and accuracy is the key to happy clients! Will another inspector properly report PB pipe, Zinsco, FPE panels, improper electrical work, worn out water heaters and furnaces? Probably not.
Bruce King reports all of these type issues !
Thermal imaging uses a high tech infrared camera to help locate hidden leaks, missing insulation and other problems. Thermography and leak detection is becoming a much desired service. I have completed two full days of training on the use of this camera for IR inspections. I will include a basic scan of ceilings and walls at no extra charge.

My reporting includes advice on older roofs, older heating/air systems and older water heaters which is NOT required by the state and not done by the regular inspectors who cater to the realtors instead of the client. Those items can cause home buyers financial disaster a few years down the road.
Older homes with crawlspaces are thoroughly inspected which ends up being 7-8 hours total time instead of a boiler plate report done at the house in half the time. These older homes do have hard to find issues that are missed by 95 percent of the local inspectors.
Bruce King 803 417-2116 or 704 301-3207

What the inspector needs to know when you call:
Address of property, heated square footage, house age,
house vacant or occupied and method of payment.
Credit card payments can be made on this website,
see the Cost for Inspection page.

A good home inspection has everything to do with
the amount of effort and time invested in the inspection process. Bruce King performs his inspections with a passion for doing the very best work for his client.
No employees or sub-contractors will be used to perform
your inspection. No checklist reports with boilerplate
comments. Reports are detailed, informative, include pictures and exceed other reports. New home inspections include most of the cosmetic issues at no extra cost.

Predrywall Inspections: Many builders require completion of a pre-drywall inspection up to one week before the insulation is scheduled to go in. Please schedule a pre-drywall inspection early and coordinate with the builder to ensure the window of opportunity does not pass.
