Home inspection services in Jacksonville and Eastern North Carolina.
Full home inspections, and the extras only if you need them. Cody Pittman is the licensed inspector in Jacksonville and Eastern NC. Thermal imaging, a Spectora report, and lifetime consultation are already in the full inspection. Payment at closing is available for approved buyers.
Spectora reports
Easy to read, with detailed descriptions, photos, and repair recommendations. Always available online, easy to navigate, and simple to download or print as a PDF.
Lifetime consultation
After the inspection, for as long as you own the home, call for a free consult on maintenance, repairs, or general questions. Video calls and photos welcome. Included with a full home inspection only.
Premium thermal imaging, included.
Whole-structure infrared on every full inspection. It shows where you’re losing expensive conditioned air from missing insulation or weather stripping, flags hidden water in ceilings, walls, and floors, and reveals dangerous overheating in the electrical panel. Suspected leaks are checked with a moisture meter.

New construction
New construction inspection
A finished new house still needs an inspection. The town’s sign-off is not yours. This visit finds what the builder still needs to correct before you close, with photos you can send them. Cody works for you, not the builder. Already closed? The 1-year warranty inspection is the visit before that first year runs out.
11-month visit
1-year warranty inspection
Most written new-home warranties give about a year on workmanship and materials. This visit is usually around month 11, so the written list reaches the builder before that year ends. The repairs do not have to be finished inside the year. Cody works for you, not the builder.
Most requested
Pre-drywall inspection
New construction, before the walls close. This is the last look at framing, rough electrical, plumbing, and HVAC — and the moment a builder can still correct the work without opening the house back up. Cody works for you, not the builder.
