Why DS Home Solutions

Most inspectors can tell you what's wrong. My background as a hands-on handyman means I can also tell you why it matters and what it will actually take to fix it, practical, real-world insight, not just a checklist.

“Daryl is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable home inspectors I’ve worked with. He takes the time to ensure buyers fully understand the condition of the home—not just by identifying concerns, but by offering practical ideas and solutions. He approaches every inspection with honesty, professionalism, and a true commitment to educating buyers so they can make decisions with confidence.”

Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes! I encourage buyers to attend, because walking through the home together helps you understand the severity of any issues firsthand.

    At the end of the inspection, I strongly encourage the home buyer, realtor, or both to do an on-site walk-through with me. This gives us a chance to review any key findings in person and answer any immediate questions before I write the report.

  • A typical single-family home takes between 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on square footage, age, and overall condition.

  • Because timing is critical during a home purchase, my goal is to email your written report the same day as the inspection, and no later than 24 hours afterward.

  • Full, guaranteed home inspections (including a detailed written report) start at $500, with pricing based on the size and age of the home.

    I also offer Pre-sale Consultations starting at $200 for home sellers. This is an interactive walk-through designed to identify potential red flags before listing so you can fix or address issues early. (Note: This service is a consultation only and does not include a written report.)

  • It is a non-invasive visual inspection covering major systems: roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic/insulation, and doors/windows.

  • Items inside walls, underground sewer lines, radon, mold, asbestos, septic systems, or swimming pools typically require specialized testing or add-on services.

  • No. An inspection isn't a pass/fail test; it is an objective evaluation of the home's condition so you can make informed decisions.

  • No house is perfect—even new builds! The report helps you prioritize safety hazards vs. minor cosmetic fixes so you and your real estate agent can negotiate repairs or credits.

  • Home inspectors identify issues, but standard ethical codes prevent them from giving official repair quotes or performing the repairs on homes they inspect to avoid a conflict of interest.

  • Yes, I’m always available by phone or email afterward to clarify findings or explain terms.
