Inspection Procedures

Residential & Commercial Inspections

Our company is a leader in the property inspection industry. We offer our clients experience and knowledge gained through over 30 years of service. Our inspection techniques and high tech equipment brings a higher level of certainty to our clients.

Helping you with your property decision is our job. You’re excited because you just signed the contract. You’re anxious because the agreement hinges upon the inspection. Our experienced professionals inform you about the property, delivering facts and recommendations in a relaxed manner.

Pre-Inspection Preparation: After scheduling we want to make sure we have full access to the property and all utilities are on and the owners and representatives are aware of the inspection time. We invite all our clients to attend the inspection if possible so we can show and discuss any issues we find.

Discovery Day: We will give you a briefing on how we will conduct your inspection and answer any questions. After the first hour we will be doing the most of the structural aspects of the inspection that require our full attention. We will come back to you with a briefing when the structural inspection is done. At the end of inspection we will give you a full briefing including a walk around and review, inspection photos, and discussing any additional services you ordered such as radon or other environmental testing.

Reporting:
Depending on the type of inspection we deliver a professionally prepared report within 24 hours via email or download. Our reports are based on years of experience and are customized to properties particular to East TN.

Consulting: Our reports are very through but we want to make sure you understand what your report means to you and your situation. We offer unlimited expert consultation.

Re-Inspections: There may be times when you want us to come back and inspect the property prior to closing or for proper repairs. We offer this service at a nominal charge based on your needs.

Bonus Services: Depending in the type of inspection you ordered you will be receiving free information or membership services via email.

Tennessee Building Inspections -- I do not have enough kind words to express the satisfaction we had with our experience. I am an Attorney in NYS & deal with Inspectors frequently. We had limited time available and Phil & his staff were extremely accommodating. Having no familiarity with the area, they were extremely helpful in providing necessary insight. Furthermore, the thorough & extensive report we received far exceeded the quality that I am accustomed to receiving on my transactions in NYS. The detail & professionalism, balanced with the fair & reasonable pricing involved makes doing business with them a no-brainer. I highly recommend Tennessee Building Inspections. Pleasant, Professional, Thorough & Fair - I can't imagine a better experience elsewhere.

I know Phillip both personally and professionally and turn to no other company when I need commercial building inspections. Shanks Properties has been in business over 15 years and invests $2-3 million annually in the local real estate market and we TRUST Phillip and his company to assist us in those investment decisions. He is my one and only referral when asked about building inspectors, both residential and commercial

I've used Tennessee Building Inspections 3 times. Each time I have been extremely impressed by them. I was present at all three, and Phillip and his staff kept me informed during the entire time. Each step of the way I received email notifications: appt made with date and time, a contract to review and approve, reminder the day before, notice of completion, download of report, etc. Everything is done efficiently and with transparency. Very thorough reports with detailed photos are supplied without long delays. Phillip is considerate, professional, and supportive with answers and knowledge.

The team at Tennessee Building Inspections go above and beyond in providing thorough building inspections. They recently inspected a property that I have under contract to purchase and the service was excellent. Additionally, Phil's team completed inspections on 3 commercial properties for a client of mine and everything went very well. The client was very happy and the work was completed in a timely manner.

I would highly recommend Phillip's company for anyone needing great service and quality work.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased my husband and I were with your company services. When we found ourselves in need of an inspection service to work with we pulled from several sources; real estate agent, personal references, the internet and the social pages. After we contacted your company we were pleased to find not only did you have over 30 years of inspection experience, but that you could accommodate the unusual hours that we preferred. We really appreciate the information you exchanged with us on site during the inspection. Your attention to detail was excellent ! We also appreciated your suggestions of how we could possibly resolve problems. If we are ever in need of inspection services or have any recommendations solicited from us we will be sure to send them your way.

Thanks again,
Krista McCampbell

Phillip Henderson and his staff are great to work with and he is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has great integrity and works in the best interest of colleagues and clients. Above and beyond the call of duty is what you get with him.

Tammy Smith client

"We first met Phillip Henderson and staff when we commissioned Tennessee Building Inspections to inspect a seemingly great investment, commercial property in 2016. They uncovered some hidden structural flaws and we have saved ourselves from potentially a very bad investment. Since then, we've worked with Phil on four properties, which we successfully closed on with assurance for the strength of each investment that we could not have gauged without Phil's reports & input. Each time, we were met with the same professionalism, enthusiasm, and individualized attention. They understand that time is of the essence in all real estate transactions and is timely with both scheduling the inspection and producing the report. His staff are equipped with the latest technologies , though they are not afraid to get their hands dirty too, climbing and crawling into spaces that isn't visible off the street; we never question whether an item has been left unchecked. With each inspection, Phil has personally followed up with us to go over the report and to answer our questions. We are very grateful for his thorough, candid perspective, and look to no one else!"

As an instructor at Pellissippi State I teach all the courses required for the Building Performance Analyst Certification. Phillip Henderson was one of my students and I cannot express enough the insight and knowledge Mr. Henderson provided to our class concerning structural and mechanical aspects of a building. Mr. Henderson scored perfectly in all areas of building science during the two week training course work and was my highest level performer in the field test.
