Buyer Inspections
Know What You're Buying Before You Close
Buy Your Home With Confidence
A listing photo won't tell you the roof's real age, whether the foundation is holding, or what's behind the panel in the garage. Before you sign anything on what's likely the biggest purchase of your life, you deserve to know exactly what you're taking on, not just what the seller's disclosure says.
AIM's buyer inspections give you a clear, systems-level look at the home from roof to foundation, delivered in plain language and backed by photos, so you can negotiate, plan, or walk away with real information instead of a gut feeling.
A Full Home Evaluation Before You Close
A home inspection is much more than a walkthrough. It's a visual evaluation of the home's readily accessible systems and components, performed to identify deficiencies that may affect the home's performance, safety, or function. Our goal is to help you understand the true condition of the home before you take ownership.
You'll receive a detailed, same-day report with photos and easy-to-understand explanations, giving you the information you need to make confident decisions, negotiate repairs when appropriate, and move into your new home with fewer surprises.

What to Expect
Our Home Inspection Process
A closer look at what Ricky checks in every category, from the roof down to the foundation.
Request an InspectionRoof & Attic
The roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements and one of its most expensive systems to replace. During the inspection, we evaluate the roof covering, flashing, penetrations, drainage components, and other accessible features for signs of damage, improper installation, or conditions that may shorten the roof's lifespan.
Inside the attic, we evaluate the visible framing, ventilation, insulation, and look for signs of moisture intrusion, leaks, or other deficiencies that can affect the home's performance, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.
Exterior of Home
The exterior is your home's first line of defense against the elements. We evaluate the siding, masonry, trim, windows, doors, grading, drainage, decks, porches, and other accessible exterior components for signs of damage, improper installation, moisture intrusion, or conditions that could affect the home's performance or lead to costly repairs over time.
Heating & Cooling (HVAC)
In Texas, your HVAC system works hard almost year-round. We operate the heating and cooling systems using normal controls and evaluate their performance, temperature differential, airflow, thermostat operation, ductwork, and accessible components. Our goal is to identify deficiencies that could affect comfort, efficiency, performance, or safety, not just confirm that the system turns on.
Plumbing
Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues a homeowner can face. We evaluate the home's visible supply lines, drain lines, water heater, fixtures, and faucets for leaks, corrosion, improper installation, drainage concerns, and other deficiencies that could lead to water damage, reduced performance, or costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Electrical
Electrical deficiencies can present significant safety hazards, making a thorough evaluation of the system essential. We inspect the electrical panel, accessible wiring, breakers, grounding and bonding, receptacles, switches, and GFCI/AFCI protection where applicable. The goal is to identify deficiencies that could affect the safety, reliability, or performance of the home's electrical system.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior of a home often reveals how well it has performed over time. We evaluate walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, and other accessible interior components for signs of moisture intrusion, structural movement, damage, or safety concerns that may indicate underlying issues.
