San Antonio’s Trusted Home Inspector – LarryInspects Home Inspection Service

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments of your life. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. You want to know that the house you’re about to purchase is safe, sound, and worth every penny you’re spending. The problem is—houses don’t come with owner’s manuals. Hidden issues, costly repairs, or overlooked safety hazards can turn what should be your dream home into a stressful money pit. That’s where I come in.

I’m Larry Wedige, founder and lead inspector of LarryInspects Home Inspection Service right here in San Antonio, Texas. With over 50 years in construction and remodeling, and more than 23 years as a licensed Professional Real Estate Inspector (TREC #6060), I’ve built my reputation on one simple belief: your home inspection deserves more than a quick once-over—it deserves my full attention, my expertise, and my commitment, for as long as it takes to do the job right.

At LarryInspects, you don’t just get an inspection. You get an education, peace of mind, and the confidence to move forward with your purchase knowing exactly what you’re getting into—or what you need to negotiate.

Why Choose LarryInspects Over Anyone Else?

The truth is, not all home inspectors are the same. Sure, anyone can show up with a flashlight and a checklist. But when you’re about to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, “good enough” just doesn’t cut it. Here’s why homebuyers throughout San Antonio and beyond trust me with their inspections:

  • 50+ years of hands-on construction experience – I’ve built homes, decks, remodels, and overseen multimillion-dollar projects. When I look at a house, I know exactly what I’m seeing—and what it means for you.
  • Licensed Professional Inspector – As a TREC-licensed inspector, I meet Texas’s strictest standards of training, education, and ongoing certification.
  • Only one inspection per day – I take my time. Inspection ususally take 3 to 5 hours, some longer, because rushing through means missing details. That’s not how I work.
  • Advanced tools included free – Thermal imaging scans, electronic foundation elevation measurements, and precision moisture detection are always included at no extra charge.
  • Clear, detailed reports delivered quickly – You’ll receive a photo-enhanced report the same day or within 24 hours. No jargon. Just clear findings you can actually understand.
  • The heart of a teacher – I welcome you to walk the property with me. Ask questions. I’ll explain what I see and what it means for you. By the end, you’ll know your house better than most homeowners do after years of living there.

When you hire LarryInspects, you’re not just paying for someone to “check boxes.” You’re getting a professional who approaches every inspection as if I were buying the home myself.

What a LarryInspects Home Inspection Covers

A complete inspection goes far beyond simply “looking around.” My process is thorough, detailed, and designed to uncover anything that could cost you money—or compromise your family’s safety—down the line. Your home inspection includes:

  • Foundation & Structure – Precision altimeter measurements (to 0.10″) to check for foundation movement, settlement, or uneven floors. Structural framing review for support strength.
  • Roof & Attic – Evaluation of shingle installation, flashing, ventilation, and any signs of leaks or damage. Insulation checks for energy efficiency.
  • Exterior – Walls, trim, masonry, siding, grading, drainage, windows, and doors.
  • Electrical Systems – Proper wiring, breaker panel condition, grounding, GFCI receptacles, and overall safety compliance.
  • Plumbing Systems – Water pressure, visible piping, drains, fixtures, and water heater installation.
  • HVAC Systems – Air conditioner, furnace, ductwork, and overall system functionality.
  • Kitchen & Appliances – Testing built-in appliances like stoves, dishwashers, and disposals.
  • Interior – Walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors for construction quality and hidden issues like cracks or moisture intrusion.
  • Safety Features – Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide safety, fire-blocking, and gas line bonding.

And because surprises should never be left undiscovered, I provide thermal imaging infrared scans to detect hidden moisture, missing insulation, or overloaded electrical connections—things you’d never catch with the naked eye.

Specialized Services

Buying a home isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different situations call for different types of inspections, and I offer services to meet each one.

  • Pre-Listing Inspections – For sellers to know what to expect when the buyer get an inspection. Gives the seller a chance to make repairs and corrections before any last minute surprises.
  • Pre-Purchase Inspections – For buyers who want confidence before closing.
  • Pre-Drywall Inspections – For new construction. This is your last chance to see what’s inside your walls before the sheetrock goes up. From wiring to fire-blocking, this inspection is critical.
  • Deck Inspections – As one of only three NADRA-certified deck inspectors in Texas, I know what makes a deck safe versus what makes it a liability. I see very few decks that are built properly.
  • Maintenance Inspections – Even if you aren’t selling, an inspection helps catch issues early before they become expensive headaches.

What Makes LarryInspects Different

There are plenty of inspectors who promise “thorough” inspections, but here’s what sets me apart:

  • I do just one inspection per day. That means I never rush. Whether it takes 3 hours, or 5 hours, or longer, I stay until the job is done right.
  • Experience you can trust. From home building to home repairs, I’ve done it all. That knowledge is priceless when inspecting your home.
  • Tools others charge extra for, thermal imaging, precision moisture meters, and foundation level altimeters, are part of every inspection I do. No upsells. No shortcuts.
  • Communication you can rely on. Buying a home is stressful. That’s why I answer calls personally (unless I’m mid-inspection or driving). No administrative assistant. No answering service No AI. You’ll never be left waiting days to hear back.
  • Reports that make sense. No page after page of confusing technical jargon. You’ll get clear findings, color photos, and a summary checklist at the end.

Why a Home Inspection Is Non-Negotiable

You wouldn’t buy a used car without test-driving it. You wouldn’t invest in a business without reviewing the finances. So why risk buying a home—the most expensive purchase of your life—without having a professional look under the hood? A home inspection can reveal:

Structural issues that compromise safety

Faulty wiring that could fail or cause a fire

Plumbing leaks hidden behind walls

Improperly installed roofing

Insufficient insulation or ventilation affecting energy bills

Gas leaks or unsafe venting

Foundation shifts that may cost tens of thousands to repair

The cost of skipping an inspection can far outweigh the investment in getting one. Spending a few hundred dollars now could save you thousands—sometimes even tens of thousands—later.
