We used John Nobles for our home inspection too. Very very satisfied, Mary !

Jimmy Wheeland he's awesome. .. give Wess a call he was suppose to give you his number when you called today. ..

I would contact a smaller architect who works in single family homes. They probably have good and cheap structural engineering contacts for their designs. I'm a structural engineer who specializes in structural inspections and rehabilitation/repair, but generally we avoid the single family housing market because were too expensive. For me to show up on site and inspect the structure is going to be around five thousand dollars minimum and not many home-owners are willing to pay that. That being said, there are some structural engineers who do work that market and are generally are cheaper.

Ive used this firm on dozens of occasions.. http://www.dts-engineering.com/ John Gultek is who you want to talk to.

Gerard Duhon. He helped me out in a dispute with my townhouse HOA over some foundation issues.

Call Knight Engineering.

Doors sticking. Cracks in the brick outside. Cracks in the sheetrock coming out of the top corner of the doors. You have a foundation problem (or lack of a foundation problem). Some foundation repair companies have a Professional Engineer on staff. That would be my best suggestion. You can try putting a watering system around the perimeter of your house and water like crazy and see if that improves things. If I was to guess, you do not have lots of pine trees native to your neighborhood. You also have lots of mature planted trees and bushes around your house. Slab foundations with out drilled piers, do not go very far down and thus are affected by moisture changes in the soil. Trees and bushes suck moisture out from underneath the slab and cause shrinkage in the soil leading to the cracks and movement in your house.

Gold Medal Inspections did an excellent job of inspecting my house when I was purchasing it. Messaged you their contact info.

This guy inspected my house and he was BEYOND good. He was a little pricier than most, but he spent about 4-5 hours inspecting my new home and gave me an 18 page report full of stuff. He has worked on writing Code law for Texas and knows his stuff so much its ridiculous. He also did my brothers new home before mine. He went so far as to document every single plug in my house that wasn't grounded, checked all wall plates for proper screws, tested my oven temperature, etc. http://www.houstoninspections.com/ Edit: added some more details

This guy here: www.HomeCert.com He inspected two homes for me in Spring. The first we ended up passing on thanks to his extremely good eye for detail. There were unforeseen problems that would have caused us a fortune down the road. He spent 4-5 hours inspecting every inch and in the end saved us from getting ourselves in over our head. The second was a new construction in which he found a handful of things that the builder quickly took care of and I now live in. Edit: To those saying you don't need an inspector for a new home. That's completely not true. Is it less important? Maybe. But a good inspector can go into any brand new home and find any number of problems that need to be remedied before the sale.

It's a new home. You can see everything while it's being built and it will be covered under warranty Why do you need an inspector? Because of a TV show? Seriously? Where is it and who's building it?

I agree with gardensue. It is not a wise use of your money to pay an inspector to supervise construction of a standard house from a name builder. Inspectors have checklists for making sure everything works properly before you move in, but they are not construction managers. Even if qualified, if s/he is going to be effective in the manner you propose, then you are talking about paying him/her to be onsite every day, and that is prohibitively expensive. Before you close, when it is time to do the walk-through for your punch-list, THEN have the inspector walk through with you so s/he can help identify punch-list items. Do not close until the punch-list items are all complete to your satisfaction. I like Fox inspections, but the others recommended are probably just as good.

we used this man and he was great!!! Pro Tech Building inspections. ( 936) 524-4740 Joseph C Mayrant
