For more than 26 years, I have provided reliable, informative and detailed home inspection services in the Baytown area that home buyers have used to help in the buying and building of their new homes. Prior to being a home inspector I spent over 25 years in the residential and commercial building industry. Most of those years with a hammer in my hand. I understand homes and want to share my knowledge with you to help you make a smart home buying decision. I include the use of thermal imaging equipment throughout the entire inspection at no additional cost. TREC License #5229

Since 1999 I have been providing Home Inspection Services. I inspect the home you are buying or building like it was going to be my own.

Years of experience in building homes gives me the ability to notice more than the standard inspection items listed.

Baytown homes require a unique level of structural scrutiny due to our local coastal climate and shifting soil conditions. From historical properties near the Arts District to newer builds near Goose Creek, the high humidity and heavy clay soils in the area put unique distresses on foundations and roofing systems.
As a TREC-licesed inspector with over 26 years of construction and inspection experience in the greater Houston area, I understand exactly what to look for in Baytown properties to protect your real estate investment.
Detailed, informative and reliable inspection reports that are computer generated and delivered same day or next day depending on the condition of the home. Including photos.
Thousands of inspections in Houston and the surrounding area. With my construction background I am able to identify issues and provide the information clearly.
I love my job and enjoy meeting people buying homes and helping them with determining the condition of the home. I never mind taking the time to answer questions and welcome you to attend the inspection.
I have all the great inspection tools that I can use to help find issues in the home. Thermal imaging camera, zip level foundation measuring system, moisture detectors and a drone for high roofs that are not accessible with a ladder.
I am licensed by TREC, License #5229 with more than the required amount of insurance and liability insurance. I enjoy taking classes and am always studying up on new construction standards.
I meet and exceed the minimum standards set by the state for inspection requirements. I really look hard to find issues that my be hidden. Read detailed list of items included in the Baytown home inspection.

How much does a home inspection cost in Baytown?
While the exact price depends on the square footage, the age and foundation type of property, professional home inspection in the Baytown area starts at $300 for a 1500 square foot home New Construction. For an exact, transparent quote tailored to your specific property size and gage, please contact me directly. Call or text 281-794-9102.
Are thermal imaging and moisture detection included?
Yes. Because Baytown's proximity to the water means elevated humidity and coastal weather risks, infrared thermal imaging and advanced moisture detection are included with every single standard inspection at no extra charge. This high-tech equipment allows me to identify hidden plumbing leaks, roofing failures, and missing insulation behind drywall that the naked eye cannot see.
How fast will I receive my written inspection report?
I understand that your real estate option period moves fast and for new homes the builder needs the report quickly for your walk through. I guarantee that your comprehensive, easy-to-read TREC-standard digital inspection report - complete with high resolution phots will be delivered within 24 hours and normally the same day of me completing the walk-through.
Do you personally perform the inspection?
Yes. When you schedule with Brad Leland, you get him on-site every single time. I am an independent owner-operator, which means your home never gets handed off to an inexperienced sub-contractor of junior inspector. I limit my daily schedule so I can dedicate 100% of my focus to your property.
