Meet Your Inspector
Hey there! I’m Dylan Osborne, North Carolina Licensed and InterNACHI Certified Professional Home Inspector (CPI). I hold a Degree in Applied Science, Architecture, and 25 years of experience in land surveying, commercial property maintenance, and general manager for a 10-building, 75-unit condo complex in the US Virgin Islands. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit in 2017, I supervised the rebuild of the property tougher, stronger, and better than before – complete with a half-megawatt backup generator.
My knowledge, training, and experience allow me to bring a get-it-done-right attitude to every home inspection. I look forward to putting that knowledge and experience to work for you!

Residential Home Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Mold Testing
There are over 400,000 types of mold, and while there are only a few dozen that are toxic, exposure to many molds can lead to health problems. It can also cause structural damage to your house.
Radon Testing
Radon is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely carcinogenic. According to the EPA, radon is one of the leading contributors to the development of lung cancer, behind only smoking. For this reason, regular radon testing is key whether you’re a homeowner, or you’re interested in purchasing a home.
Thermal Imaging
The purpose of an infrared scan is to find issues that may not be visible to the naked eye and catch them before they become a major problem. With the use of our infrared camera, we can help identify moisture, insulation, electrical, HVAC issues, and more.
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
While I encourage clients to walk through the home with me during the inspection, I understand that you may be busy and unable to attend.
Whether or not you are present for the inspection, I will provide a comprehensive Spectora report that includes everything you need to understand the condition of the home.
Your report will be delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, allowing you to quickly review the findings and discuss them with me and your agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Our home inspections start at $375. The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!
How long does a home inspection take?
Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
Should I attend the inspection?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
