The Charlotte NC and Fort Mill SC area's only IHINA certified independent inspector! I can also see more of a house being 6 ft 5" and have had no complaints.

I am available to travel to other areas as needed.

I am a Certified Home Inspector and a member of the Independent Home Inspectors of North America (IHINA), the North Carolina Licensed Home Inspector Association (NCLHIA) and the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI).

Links are available below for sample reports.

Bonus included in new home inspections:  My new home inspections include workmanship issues.

I have Supra key (activekey) access for Charlotte and York county areas.

Tired of vague inspection reports that just recommend a contractor "evaluate further"? That is all that is commonly done in this business, just the minimum. Check out my sample reports below that show the extra detail and effort provided! My highly technical background has taught me that attention to detail and accuracy is the key to happy clients! Will another inspector properly report PB pipe, Zinsco, FPE panels, improper electrical work, worn out water heaters and furnaces? Probably not.
Bruce King reports all of these type issues !

Thermal imaging uses a high tech infrared camera to help locate hidden leaks, missing insulation and other problems. Thermography and leak detection is becoming a much desired service.  I have completed two full days of training on the use of this camera for IR inspections.  For a limited time, I will include a basic scan of ceilings at no extra charge. If a comprehensive IR scan is desired it will need to be planned in advance to provide for extra time on site.

My reporting includes advice on older roofs, older heating/air systems and older water heaters which is NOT required by the state and not done by the regular inspectors who cater to the realtors instead of the client. Those items can cause home buyers financial disaster a few years down the road.

Older homes with crawlspaces are thoroughly inspected which ends up being 7-8 hours total time instead of a boiler plate report done at the house in half the time. These older homes do have hard to find issues that are missed by 95 percent of the local inspectors.

Bruce King 803 417-2116 or 704 301-3207

What the inspector needs to know when you call:

Address of property, heated square footage, house age,
house vacant or occupied and method of payment.
Credit card payments can be made on this website,
see the Cost for Inspection page.

A good home inspection has everything to do with
the amount of effort and time invested in the inspection process. Bruce King performs his inspections with
a passion for doing the very best work for his client.

No employees or sub-contractors will be used to perform
your inspection. No checklist reports with boilerplate
comments. Reports are detailed, informative, include pictures and exceed other reports. New home inspections include most of the cosmetic issues at no extra cost.

Predrywall Inspections:   Many builders require completion of a pre-drywall inspection up to one week before the insulation is scheduled to go in. Please schedule a pre-drywall inspection early and coordinate with the builder to ensure the window of opportunity does not pass.

This inspector will inspect and report within the scope of the following guidelines which is the most thorough inspection:

- National Association of Certified Home Inspectors
Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.

- The S.C. or N.C. Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.

My inspections also meet the ASHI and NAHI Standards of Practice.

Disclaimer: I do not recommend all inspectors who are members of the these associations. If I can not get to your inspection, I will recommend a qualified inspector for you.

The home inspection field requires a unique skillset that even many contractors and engineers do not have.

Note to other inspectors: I do not plan on hiring any employees,
I feel that home inspections should only be performed by the owner of the inspection company. I do offer advanced training to new inspectors as well as the 20+ year inspectors who need to improve their skills. Confidential assistance, Email for information and fees.
