Our Home Inspection Services
TREC Home Inspections
A Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s major systems and components. Our TREC inspections cover:
- Structural components
- Roofing systems
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems
- Interior and exterior features
- Built-in appliances
We provide an impartial, standards-based assessment so buyers can confidently evaluate a property before closing. Each report is clearly written, well-organized, and supported with photos to make complex findings easy to understand.
Pre-Listing Home Inspections
Selling your home? A pre-listing inspection helps you stay in control of the process. By identifying potential issues before your home hits the market, you can:
- Address concerns proactively
- Avoid last-minute renegotiations
- Price your home more accurately
- Increase buyer confidence
A pre-listing inspection from ADBJ Enterprises gives you clarity and leverage—before buyers bring in their own inspector.
Insurance Inspections (VIP & WDR)
Insurance coverage can be difficult to secure, especially for properties with prior water claims or older systems. We perform inspections under the Texas Voluntary Inspection Program (VIP) to help qualifying homeowners demonstrate that their property is well-maintained and insurable.
If the home passes inspection, a Certificate of Insurability may be issued. We also provide Water Damage Remediation (WDR-1) documentation when appliance-related water damage is involved.
State Farm agents and property owners throughout the Dallas area rely on ADBJ Enterprises for accurate, compliant VIP inspections.
One-Year Builder’s Warranty Inspections
New construction homes typically include a one-year builder’s warranty—but many homeowners don’t realize issues must be documented before that warranty expires.
Around the 10–11 month mark, we perform a detailed warranty inspection to identify:
- Workmanship defects
- Incomplete or improper installations
- Performance issues with systems or materials
Our inspection helps ensure concerns are properly documented so you can request repairs before your warranty period ends.
Property Repair Evaluations
For investors, renovators, and property owners, our property repair evaluations provide a practical overview of a home’s condition and potential repair needs.
These inspections help you:
- Estimate renovation and repair costs
- Plan upgrades strategically
- Evaluate investment opportunities
Revitalizing properties improves neighborhoods, increases property values, and reduces unexpected costs—our evaluations give you the insight to move forward wisely.

Yes. You’ll receive a detailed digital inspection report with photos and clear explanations, typically delivered the same day of the inspection or first thing the next morning.
