We provide expert home inspection services across Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding Central Ohio area. As Ohio’s capital and fastest-growing city, Columbus offers a dynamic real estate market. Securing your purchase here requires a detailed understanding of the city’s diverse housing stock—from historic brick homes to modern suburban builds. We deliver the clarity and confidence you need before closing on your new home.
Columbus is a thriving hub of education, technology, and culture, fueled by The Ohio State University and a rapidly expanding tech sector. Known for its distinct neighborhoods, highly-rated parks, and a vibrant arts scene (especially in the Short North), Columbus offers a high quality of life. The region experiences distinct seasons, with cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers. These conditions mean inspectors must focus on issues related to basement moisture, proper attic ventilation, and the condition of aging HVAC systems and roofs which are constantly exposed to temperature swings and heavy precipitation.
The Central Ohio housing market is characterized by stability and steady growth. Homes are spending a median of around 13 to 34 days on the market, signaling a market that remains active but may offer slightly more breathing room for buyers compared to recent years.
A major inspection priority in Columbus is addressing homes built primarily from the early 1900s through the mid-20th century. Common findings include outdated electrical systems (like knob-and-tube or older panels), galvanized or aged plumbing, foundation cracks, and drainage issues that lead to common basement moisture problems.
We have extensive experience inspecting homes in Columbus’s most sought-after neighborhoods, understanding the unique characteristics of each:
German Village: Famous for its brick streets and beautifully maintained Victorian homes and small cottages. Inspections here focus intensely on century-old foundations, original plumbing materials, and the condition of slate or tile roofs.
Clintonville: A tree-lined neighborhood featuring a mix of Craftsman, Tudor, and Cape Cod-style homes, many built mid-century. Common concerns include original single-pane windows, aging furnaces, and proper insulation in older attics.
Short North/Victorian Village/Italian Village: These urban areas contain revitalized Victorian-era homes and modern condos. We assess unique conversion issues, updated structural elements, and the fire-safety of newly-added electrical capacity in old structures.
Bexley: Known for its stately mansions and historic homes on large lots. Our focus is often on the condition of large-scale, custom systems and the integrity of extensive roofing and masonry work.
Dublin/Upper Arlington: These prominent suburbs feature established 20th-century homes and modern luxury construction. Inspections address structural integrity, modern HVAC system performance, and efficient insulation.
