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.

  • Tyler Bauer recently did our pre-drywall inspection, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the start, he was incredibly kind, polite, and flexible with scheduling to find a time that worked best for both our builder and our family. His inspection report was exceptionally detailed yet easy to read and understand, even for someone who isn't well versed in the technicalities of a new build. He included clear photos of all home components and clearly labeled every item that needed attention. Upon completion, he even texted separately to highlight the main focal points of the report and was courteous enough to compliment our builder on a job well done with the framing. Tyler answered all of our questions about the necessary fixes in a way that made complete sense and even suggested we send him pictures once the items were resolved. Exceptional service from start to finish. We couldn't recommend him enough!

  • I highly recommend using A-action for your home inspection and asking for Brandan as well. We have now used this company and Brendan twice. For our second home inspection we requested Brendan specifically. He is extremely knowledgable, very patient, answers all questions you might have about aspects of the house. He is extremely professional and extremely easy to work with. So pleasant! He made the whole experience wonderful! There was a high level of detail in the way A-action does their home inspections. Their inspections reports are easy to understand and if you have any questions, they can go over that with you. The reports include photos and its clear and easy to understand what needs your attention. Michelle in the office is a pleasure to speak to, she always answers all the questions we might have for her and believe me we did have a lot of them for her. She made us feel comfortable, listened to and gave excellent recommendations. She is an absolute pleasure!!!!!! Kim on the weekends in the office is also great and a pleasure to work with. A-action also was able to provide a great list of any recommendations such as plumbers we might want to contact, structural engineers and more. We HIGHLY recommend this company and will be using them again in the future and telling anyone who needs a home inspection to use A-action. They are absolutely wonderful to work with, so patient and knowledgable. Thank you A-action, thank you Brendan, Michelle and Kim!!!!

  • I had an excellent experience with Brendan Hirshey and A-Action Home Inspection Group for my new construction home inspection. Brendan was extremely thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the process. What stood out most was the level of detail in his inspection. He took the time to carefully evaluate the major systems and construction details of the home and identified several items that I would not have known to look for on my own, including roofing and flashing concerns, drainage issues, HVAC and ductwork items, electrical concerns, irrigation problems, and a shower enclosure leak. His report was clear, well documented, and included helpful photos that made it easy to understand exactly what needed attention. I also appreciated that Brendan did not overstate issues or create unnecessary alarm. He explained what he found in a straightforward and professional way, which made it much easier for me to prioritize what truly needed to be addressed before closing versus normal punch-list items. I had also used A-Action earlier in the construction process, so having continuity from the pre-drywall stage through the final inspection was incredibly valuable. It gave me much more confidence going into closing and helped me have a more informed conversation with my builder. For anyone purchasing a new construction home, I strongly recommend getting an independent inspection rather than relying solely on the builder’s process, and I would absolutely recommend Brendan and A-Action. The inspection was worth every dollar.

  • I very highly recommend Brendan. While my home is a new build with a very reputable builder, Brendan was very thorough in looking at every aspect of my new home and found a number of issues that required attention. He took a great deal of time to inspect and explain each of the issues and potential implications. His experience and technical knowledge are immense. He has given me invaluable peace of mind as I move forward with this substantial investment and life change.
