Make a more informed decision on your new home

A-Action Home Inspection Group, located in the Greater Houston area, can help remove some of the stress and anxiety of the home buying process by exposing defects and other conditions prior to closing, whether it is a new construction home or a home that is just new to you.

We feel that a home inspection helps the buyer make a more informed decision on the purchase of their new home. Purchasing a home is a major step, and a full home inspection makes you a smarter, wiser and more informed buyer.

We work for you as an experienced third party professional looking out for your best interest. We thoroughly inspect all the main interior and exterior structures, electrical, major appliances, plumbing, and heating and cooling, then provide a full report about the home you are buying or selling, with same day reports available.

What we find in Houston homes

  • Tyler did a great job on the inspection and Michelle was very helpful with scheduling. This is the second home they did for me and they did a fantastic job both times.

  • Mark was awesome, very Photo, he inspected two houses for me. He worked long hours and then sent us an impeccable report. He also walked with us before he left to show us points of interest in those two homes. I will absolutely hire him again!

  • A-Action is certainly one of the pricer home inspection companies but I was very pleased with Bo's detailed historic home inspection. He was on time and throughly explained his findings both walking us through at the end of the day as well as providing a detailed report. When paying for the inspection I was surprised that A-Action was charging an extra 3% credit card fee when only a cc option was provided but happily they've hired an exceptional customer service rep to work the phones nights and evenings who provided their Zelle info so I could avoid the fee. Overall I'm very pleased.

  • Brendan as our inspector and Michelle who helped me on the phone scheduling my appointment were both so friendly and professional. I felt like we were in good hands with them both. We were interested in a 1970s home and I wanted to make sure we chose a home inspector with experience in older homes, so when I saw all the YouTube videos A-Action has on 1970s-home inspections, I knew they were the right company to go with. Brendan would reply to my simple follow up texts after about the inspection and even provided a vendor list for specialists in the area if we wanted to take a closer look at something, which we did and even their vendor list was great! Highly recommend A-Action!
