Welcome!

A wise man once said, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."  (author unknown)

• Before you choose an inspector, be sure to read "My Promise" and "3 Mistakes" from the menu on the left.

I perform home inspections in the following areas:

• Memphis Metropolitan area
• Northwest Mississippi, including Southaven, Horn Lake, Walls, Byhalia, Tunica, Olive Branch, Hernando, Senatobia, and Batesville
• North Central Mississippi, including Holly Springs, New Albany, Oxford, Water Valley, and Pontotoc
• Clarksdale, Marks, and Charleston, Mississippi
• Interstate 55 corridor south to Grenada, Winona, Durant, and Kosciusko
• Jackson Metropolitan area
• US 78 Corridor East to Tupelo

Everyone knows that home ownership is the American Dream. That dream can quickly become a nightmare, however, for uninformed buyers. Even newly constructed homes can harbor costly mistakes - mistakes that may not be visible to the untrained eye.

Your home is a major investment. Whether you intend to stay in it forever or plan to move someday, chances are good that you will spend the next several years in your new home. Why not take the time up front to get a quality home inspection for your new purchase, to ensure you won't come across any unexpected surprises down the road? 

When you choose a home inspector, you are betting your investment in your home that the inspector is qualified and thorough.  Sherlock Home Inspections is not the cheapest. Why? Because of what you don't get.  You don't get a hurried, printed-in-the-driveway report with standard, computer generated comments that don't address the uniqueness of the home you intend to buy.  You don't get a hand-written checklist report without pictures or explanations.  With home inspections, as with everything else, the old adage that you get what you pay for holds true.  With Sherlock Home Inspections, you do get a quality, thorough inspection that takes as much time as it takes to let your home tell its own unique story.  You do get a detailed, itemized report that includes pictures and explanations of the defects discovered.  You do get an honest, objective assessment of all the systems and structural components.  Before you choose a home inspector, visit http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/insp/inspfaq.cfm for 10 important questions to ask your home inspector!
