Home inspections in Jacksonville
Jacksonville is our home base. We inspect houses here every week, from 1960s ranches near downtown and the New River to brand-new builds on the edges of town.
With Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River next door, Jacksonville has one of the most active real estate markets in Eastern North Carolina, and plenty of buyers who are purchasing from hundreds or thousands of miles away. We make sure you understand the house as well as if you’d walked every room yourself.
Jacksonville homes at a glance
Jacksonville’s housing stock spans more than seven decades: post-war block and frame homes in the older core, 1970s–1990s subdivisions throughout the city, and newer construction pushing out along Gum Branch Road, Western Boulevard and NC-53. A large share of homes have been rentals at some point, which affects maintenance history.
Common issues in Jacksonville homes
Crawl space moisture
Our humid summers and high water table make crawl space moisture the most common issue we write up in Jacksonville. We check vapor barriers, wood moisture, ventilation, and signs of standing water or fungal growth.
Rental wear and deferred maintenance
Homes that have cycled through several tenants often have aging HVAC, worn roofs and DIY repairs. We look closely at electrical and plumbing work that may not have been permitted.
Older electrical panels and plumbing
Some homes from the 1960s–1990s still have panels or materials that insurers question, such as certain legacy panel brands or polybutylene supply lines. We identify them so you can plan ahead.
Storm history
Hurricane Florence in 2018 caused widespread roof and water damage in Onslow County. We look for signs of past leaks, patched roofing and replaced drywall.

Jacksonville home inspection FAQs
How far in advance should I book a home inspection in Jacksonville?
Try to book as soon as your offer is accepted. Jacksonville due-diligence periods are often 10–21 days, and PCS season (late spring through summer) is our busiest time.
Do you inspect homes on Camp Lejeune base housing?
Privatized base housing is not bought and sold, so it doesn’t need a purchase inspection. We inspect off-base homes throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding communities.
Buying or selling in Jacksonville?
Most inspections can be booked within 1–3 days. Reports are delivered within 24 hours.
