Plumbing
Supply and drain lines, water heater, visible leaks, and fixture function throughout the home.
HVAC
Heating and cooling equipment condition, age, and basic function testing at the thermostat.
Siding, Windows & Doors
Exterior cladding, trim, grading and drainage around the home, and window/door condition.
Interior & Safety
Walls, ceilings, floors, stairs/railings, smoke & CO detectors, and fireplace visual inspection.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared camera scanning to flag hidden moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots.
Radon, Mold & Sewer Scope

What Your Home Inspector Looks For in Roswell Homes
What an inspector looks for in a Roswell home depends heavily on which side of the city it's on. Downtown, the Roswell Historic District covers 640 acres of homes and buildings dating from the 1830s into the early 1900s, and the city's Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior changes there. Most of the rest of Roswell is newer: Census data shows just over half of the city's homes were built before 1990, and the single largest slice, about a third, went up in the 1980s. That split means an inspection has to flex between century-old framing and aging 1970s-80s subdivision systems.
Radon is a concern across Fulton County, not just Roswell. UGA Extension found that about one in five Fulton County homes tested since 1990 had radon levels above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. Radon can't be seen or smelled during a walk-through, so we recommend adding a radon test to any Roswell purchase. It runs during the same visit as the inspection.
Buying inside the Roswell Historic District carries a step most buyers don't expect: exterior work, from a new roof to replacing siding or a porch, needs approval from the city's Historic Preservation Commission before the work can start. That doesn't change what we inspect, but it changes how fast you can act on what we find. If our report flags exterior repairs on a historic district home, plan for the approval step, not just the contractor's schedule.
| Type of home | What we pay attention to |
|---|---|
| Homes in the Roswell Historic District | Foundation and framing condition on century-old structures, roof and siding materials, and outdated wiring and plumbing behind the walls. |
| 1970s and 1980s subdivision homes (most of the city) | Roof age, HVAC and water heater age, the original electrical panel, and deck or porch attachment. |
| Newer construction near the edges of Roswell | Grading and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, roof flashing, and a written list to give the builder before the warranty ends. |
| Homes anywhere in Fulton County | Radon testing as an add-on, since it can't be seen or smelled during a visual inspection. |

FAQ
Home Inspection FAQs: Roswell, GA
Do you inspect homes in the Roswell Historic District?
Yes. We inspect historic district homes the same way we inspect any home, and we'll flag if exterior repairs we find, like roofing or siding, will need approval from the city's Historic Preservation Commission before work can start.
Should I test for radon when buying a home in Roswell?
We recommend it. UGA Extension found that about one in five Fulton County homes tested since 1990 had radon above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. The test is an add-on to the same visit.
How much does a home inspection cost in Roswell, GA?
Home inspection pricing depends on the size, age, and location of the property, plus any add-on services like radon or mold testing. Contact us for a free, personalized quote.
How long does a home inspection take?
A standard home inspection usually takes 2 to 4 hours for an average-sized home. Larger, older, or commercial properties can take longer.
What's included in a home inspection?
A home inspection covers the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, and safety systems, plus infrared thermal scanning and drone-assisted roof imaging when applicable.
Should I attend my home inspection?
Yes. Attending lets you walk the property with your inspector, ask questions in real time, and see any issues firsthand instead of only reading about them in the report.
Do you offer same-day or next-day scheduling?
In most cases, yes. With a full team of certified inspectors, we can often schedule your home inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call.
What happens after the inspection?
You'll receive a detailed, photo-documented digital report within 24 hours. Our team is available afterward to answer any questions about findings or next steps.
