About

Steve Smallman Property Inspections

When we founded the first full-time inspection service in North Carolina in 1980, our goal was not to build a bigger business, our goal was to provide state of the art inspection services.  We have grown to eight inspectors, but our focus is still the same: to provide the best residential and commercial inspection and testing services in North Carolina.  The inspection industry has changed greatly over the past 43 years, but the basics remain the same: focus on our client’s needs and provide all the services they may need, with prompt and professional service at a fair price.

We offer first-class home inspection services aimed at helping you achieve your dream of home ownership. Buying a home may be the largest investment of your lifetime; you deserve an inspector you can trust.

When we opened our first inspection service in Raleigh in 1980, we revolutionized the nearly non-existent industry. Now, almost every purchase includes an inspection, and we are proud to have been part of introducing this valuable service to Raleigh. Our team of licensed inspectors has performed over 40,000 inspections since its inception.
