Raleigh Home Inspection NC | Raleigh Home Inspector
This is the site for the premier Raleigh Home Inspection firm in the Triangle of North Carolina
Bruce and Kelly hired QRI to perform a Home Inspection and there were issues with the house and with needed repairs that could not be that could not ultimately be resolved with the selling party. They were really glad to have been advised of those issues before they closed on the property. Watch the video below to hear their comments…..(The audio volume is very low……you’ll need to turn it up……)
No. Ultimately, it is the clients decision whether or not to buy the house. We have no knowledge of the value of the property, the financial condition of the client, or any number of many other very important factors that must be considered along with the findings of the Home Inspection. The Home Inspection should be viewed as one more “piece of the puzzle”. Each individual client knows what they are willing to take on regarding repairs, renovation, upgrade, etc..
With that having been stated, don’t think you’ll be whistling in the wind if you ask your Inspector about the property itself…..
Your Raleigh Home Inspector Is Able To Offer Advice As To Maintenance Issues and Potential Courses Of Action Regarding Specific Conditions
You can expect that the Home Inspector may offer advice concerning maintenance of the various systems and components of the property…and there may be advice offered as to what kinds of contractors or other professionals might be best suited for the further assessment and/or correction of any significant conditions that might have been discovered during the Home Inspection. Of course, all advice will be offered on an “opinion-only” basis within the parameters of the Inspectors experience and technical background.
You’re so excited because you finally found the home of your dreams. You’ve been looking for what seems like forever and going through all the hassles that come with looking for that special home. Your emotions are high and you’re very excited, but you’ may also a little afraid or anxious…
This is probably the largest purchase you’ve ever made and you’re investing a lot of your hard-earned money into this… and you want the very best for you and your family. You think that you are making a good sound investment, but how do you know for sure?
You went through the house and looked at it yourself and everything seems to be okay. Your spouse loves it, your children love it, heck maybe even your pets give their approval… but you’re still wondering what you might not know about the house…
You know what needs to be done… You need to get the home inspected by a Licensed, Professional and Certified Home Inspector.
All homes need to be inspected, even brand-new homes. You’d probably be surprised how many new homes have problems with the electrical system, roofing system, plumbing and even heating and air conditioning.
No home is perfect but this doesn’t mean that the home is falling apart either. But how do you know? A thorough home inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs and it can give you that peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what you’re buying…
How Do You Choose A Home Inspector?
We realize that you have a choice when it comes to home inspectors. But we also know that not all home inspectors are created equal. Our customers say it best when they say over and over again how thorough and detailed an inspection they received from us… and how much they appreciate a home inspection report that is written in complete sentences and in language they can understand…
Quality Residential Inspections has been in business since 1987 and is one of the most established and respected home inspection firms in North Carolina. We have inspected literally thousands of homes in this state and we invite you to contact the Better Business Bureau because you will learn about our stellar performance and customer service.

“I really appreciate your diligence during the recent inspection of the new home we’re buying. You were very thorough and gave full attention to every detail as though it were your very own. “Employing a professional with your level of expertise and application of skill gave me the comfort level that we are purchasing a quality built home and one that we can expect to be in excellent and safe working condition. “Thank You for your patience answering my many questions. You gave excellent customer service and I will recommend you to anyone who may need a home inspection.” Deborah Tyson |
As our client, we encourage you to walk with us as we inspect the home. This way, you can ask any questions regarding the home plus we will also provide you important information on maintenance issues regarding the house….
During the inspection we’ll be glad to address any concerns that you may have….
After the inspection is finished you’ll receive a complete and thorough report with digital photos of pertinent issues that we find.
Your report will be written in a way that you will be able to understand what it says. Each issue will be explained thoroughly and not in one-word sentences like so many other home inspection companies do (yes, we can actually write in complete sentences). You’ll receive the report via email within 24 hours and most typically on the same day that the inspection was performed.
After the inspection we’re here for you too… to answer any questions you may have about the inspection, the report or other questions you may have…
We realize that buying a home is a very large investment and can be very nerve-racking. You are very important to us and we will provide you only the very best service.
So why choose QRI?
Because QRI gives you Quality, Reliability and Integrity… Let us prove to you why we are the most Respected Home Inspection Firm in North Carolina…
As an inspector it’s not enough just to have a whole bunch of training, be ASHI certified and have the proper equipment. Those things definitely are necessary; but it takes a whole lot more to make an inspection company stand out…
What makes us stand out above all others is the fact that our inspectors do things that others inspectors don’t do or won’t do; like crawl through small “nasty crawl spaces” looking for things like black mold that’s hazardous to your family’s health or crawling around in 150° attic checking out all the “nooks and crannies”.
Or maybe it’s because of the way that we take you by the hand as we inspect the property and take the time to explain everything to you and answer all your questions. Or maybe it’s just our attitude that sets us apart from everyone else because you are very important to us and we want to give you the best information available so you can make a proper decision about the investment that you are about to make.
Don’t fall for the cheapest guy in town trick…
Our fees average around $350-$400 and it takes between two to three hours to do the home inspection unless the home is significantly larger which means there is more to observe.
Don’t fall for the cheapest guy in town trick…..because the reason he’s cheaper may be because he’s not thinking of you and your welfare but rather only about his pocketbook. I can almost guarantee you he will miss something important and that something could end up costing you thousands of dollars down the road.

“We were very impressed with all your attention to detail. You were so quiet at times, we forgot you were around. It was obvious that you take your work seriously and strive for excellence in your presentation, inspection, and final report. “In fact, after we forwarded your report to the current owners of this property, they agreed to fix everything you listed and replace the roof. You’ve saved us approximately $17,000.00 before we signed the papers. “You are an outstanding representative of QRI and we will highly recommend you, and QRI, to others in need of home inspections.” Troy and Page Moorman |

Radon is reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be the No 2 leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., and the EPA recommends that every home be tested.
Radon Gas in Homes Is Reported By The Environmental Protection Agency as Being The No. 2 Leading Cause of Lung Cancer
Quality Residential Inspections offers on-site sampling for new and existing homes, for the presence of Radon-In-Air, following EPA protocol for testing procedures. Your Raleigh Home Inspector will place the test devices inside the home, ensuring that all applicable testing protocols have been followed. Then, the devices will be retrieved from the property following the passage of the required amount of time. An EPA-listed laboratory is used to interpret the results and a written report is provided to the client upon completion of the testing.
This type of testing is most often accomplished during a Raleigh Home Inspection…but can be conducted as a “stand-alone” service.
Service not available in all areas. Call for availability and pricing.
QRI routinely provides the more routine types of water testing such as total coliform bacteria, lead in water, nitrates/nitrites (some of which are required by certain types of mortgage loans). Results from a certified laboratory are usually available within 2 -3 days, dependent upon the testing being conducted.
More complex testing is available for specific concerns such as volatile organic compounds, toxic metal profiles, and organic solvent profiles. Results for this type of testing normally take approximately two weeks to be returned from the laboratory.
Service not available in all areas. Call for availability and pricing.
This type of inspection is to provide peace of mind. A QRI inspector will observe all of the various areas of the home e.g. the exterior grade, building exterior, crawl space, roof, and attic to provide input to the homeowner concerning any significant problem areas and any maintenance that might have been “deferred”. All systems will be observed and/or operated.
Commonly referred to as “11 month” inspections, this inspection is for the homeowner who is nearing the end of their 1 year warranty for a newly constructed home.
This type of inspection is, potentially, of such spectacular importance to the new homeowner that its importance cannot be overstated. Don’t let your warranty expire with covered items that need to be corrected.
You would be amazed at the types of deficiencies that we see in new houses.
In recent years, the character of the real estate market has changed significantly. The old adage of “let the buyer beware” is no longer acceptable.
In today’s litigious society, the seller of a property bears the burden of providing full and complete disclosure regarding the condition of their property. The more that a seller discloses, the less likely he or she might experience legal conflict after the closing. Any undisclosed conditions have the potential for legal conflict, with no limitations on what should have been disclosed. Even though a house may have been “code compliant” when it was built, that fact does not relieve a seller from potential liability of nondisclosure of deterioration or wear and tear as the home has became older.
There are numerous conditions about which a buyer is entitled to be informed when purchasing a home. The scrupulous buyer is going to appreciate the fact that a home has been pre-inspected by a firm that stands behind their inspection.
The inspection methodolgy is identical to a Pre-Purchase inspection. The only difference is that the seller pays for the inspection rather than the buyer. A pre-sale Home inspection allows the seller to know ‘now’ whether or not there are any significant or major defects with the home and whether or not everything is functioning as intended.
Why wait until you have spent considerable time negotiating a sales price, only to be faced with significant surprises later?
Re-negotiation is difficult and stressful for both the buyer and the seller.
