Why Detroit Chooses PPT Inspections

One local, family-owned team for every inspection your property needs.

Certified & Experienced

InterNACHI certified, a NAFHAC-approved HUD 203K consultant, a State of Michigan Certified Lead Inspector, and a member of Independent Home Inspectors of North America.

30+ Years in Detroit

Since 1994 we've inspected thousands of local homes, from 1920s bungalows to brand-new builds. We know where these houses hide problems.

One Call Covers It All

Home, radon, lead, termite, thermal, and 203K services from one team. Fewer appointments, fewer people to coordinate, and one clear point of contact.

Built Around Detroit's Housing

The services we offer match the problems we find most often in local homes.

Most of Detroit's homes were built before 1950. Brick bungalows, two-flats, and big colonials make up whole neighborhoods. They were built to last, but after 70 to 100 years almost every one has been rewired, re-plumbed, or remodeled at least once. That's why a complete home inspection is still the place to start. It shows how the home has been changed over time and whether that work was done safely.

Age also brings lead. Any home built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, and in older Detroit homes it's common on windows, doors, and porches where paint wears and chips. Landlords renting these homes need a lead inspection or clearance as part of the city's rental compliance process. Our State of Michigan Certified Lead Inspector handles that for you.

Below ground, Southeast Michigan's heavy clay soil holds water and moves with the seasons. Every winter the ground freezes and thaws again and again. That's hard on basement walls and is why we offer focused foundation and moisture checks. The same soil can let radon gas collect in basements, so we suggest adding a radon test to most home inspections.

Many Detroit buyers use FHA 203K renovation loans or the NACA program to buy homes that need work. These loans have strict rules. As a NAFHAC-certified 203K consultant, we write up the work, review contractor bids, and inspect each stage before money is released. That keeps renovation projects moving and closings on schedule.

A Detroit company, not a national franchise

PPT Inspections is family-owned and has served Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties since 1994. When you call, you talk to people who know local homes, local lenders, and local rules. We'll tell you honestly which inspection you need, and which ones you don't.

Service Questions, Answered

Quick answers to what clients ask us most before they book.

A Complete Inspection with a full photo report starts at $349 for most homes (501 to 1,000 sq ft). The price goes up with the size of the home: $399 for 1,001 to 2,000 sq ft, $449 for 2,001 to 3,000 sq ft, and up to $699 for 5,501 to 6,000 sq ft. Homes under 500 sq ft are $299, and homes over 6,000 sq ft are priced by quote. Complete Plus adds a termite inspection for $99 more. Call (313) 399-7016 and we will confirm the exact price for your address.
If you are buying a home, start with a complete home inspection. If you are using an FHA 203K loan, you will need a HUD 203K consultant. NACA buyers need an inspection that meets NACA program rules. Landlords usually need a property condition inspection and, for older homes, a lead clearance. If you only have one problem, like a roof leak, a spot inspection may be enough. Not sure? Call us and we will point you to the right one.
HUD's Minimum Property Standards set the basic rules a home must meet to be safe, sound, and secure for FHA and other government-backed loans. An MPS inspection checks the home against those rules so buyers, sellers, and lenders know what must be fixed before closing.
In most cases, yes. Detroit's rental compliance process requires a lead inspection or lead clearance for rental homes built before 1978. Our State of Michigan Certified Lead Inspector can inspect the home, find lead-based paint hazards, and provide the clearance you need.
Yes. Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that comes up from the soil and can build up in basements and lower floors. The U.S. EPA recommends testing every home, and it is simple to add a radon test to your home inspection. If levels are high, we explain the next steps to bring them down.
We can usually get you on the schedule within 24 to 48 hours, and most reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection. Call (313) 399-7016 or book online to lock in your time.
