How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data pulled on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Houston home inspectors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from thousands of reviewers counts for more than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a home inspection cost in Houston? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed price list that applies across home sizes, and reviewers don’t consistently cite dollar figures for inspections the way they do for smaller repair jobs. Price depends heavily on square footage, whether termite or environmental testing is bundled in, and whether it’s a standard resale inspection or new-construction phase work.

Serving all of Houston

These inspectors cover Houston and the surrounding metro, including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Missouri City, and Cypress. Searching for a home inspector near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a home inspector

Are you TREC-licensed, and can I see the license number?
Is termite inspection included, or is that a separate appointment?
How fast will I get the written report, and does it include photos?
Can I attend the inspection in person, or do you offer a phone walkthrough for remote buyers?
Do you inspect new-construction homes during the builder’s warranty period?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these home inspectors?

We started from every home inspection company in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these companies inspect for termites too?

Several do, including A-Action Home Inspection Houston, which bundles a free termite inspection into every visit through its own pest control division. Confirm what’s included when you book.

How long does a Houston home inspection take?

Reviewers on this page mention inspections lasting anywhere from about two to three hours depending on home size, with written reports typically delivered the same day or the next morning.

The bottom line

A-Action is the safe default for most Houston buyers, with the deepest review base and a free termite check built in. If you can’t be there in person, Houston Inspections has the strongest track record for remote phone walkthroughs. Either way, ask for the same-day report before you sign anything.
