Meet your Inspector

Experienced and Professional

My name is David Allen. I have worked in the home remodeling and maintenance industry for over 5 years and experience in customer service for over 20 years. I bring all of that to the table while completing home inspections and giving buyers the peace of mind in their home buying decisions. There are no homes too large or small, old or new, that we cannot present a thorough report and educate our clients on the systems and items found throughout the inspection. I will not stand in the way of a home sale, just educate everyone on their purchase and let them get to closing with ease.
I look forward to helping you purchase your dream home!

When you schedule with Home Remedy, David personally inspects your home.

residential Inspections

Certified Inspector will evaluate your property for safety, quality, and habitability. They inspect and identify issues in key systems such as structure, electricity, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing, throughout both the interior and exterior of the home or condo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a thorough, unbiased visual examination of a house, encompassing everything from its structural components to its various systems, from the roof right down to the foundation. It’s a crucial step in the home buying process aimed at safeguarding you, the buyer, by uncovering any underlying issues that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.

How much does a home inspection cost?

Our home inspection services start at $450, with the final cost subject to factors such as the size, age, and location of the property. We understand that every home is unique, and we strive to offer transparent pricing that reflects the intricacies of your particular situation.

How long does a home inspection take?

Typically, a home inspection will take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours to complete.

I am very glad that I chose David to be my home inspector. I was a first time home buyer and I needed someone who was knowledgeable, trustworthy and had good communication with his clients. David was all three and more! First, despite living in the Asheville area, he was more than willing to drive out to McDowell county to help me. Second, David was willing to take the time to help me understand things I didn’t know about. While other inspectors either didn’t want me to attend the inspection or ask questions during it, David was fine with both. I was able to follow him during the inspection and he allowed me to ask the questions I had as I came up with them, gave me thorough answers to help me understand and even explained some things to me before I asked about them. David’s thoroughness and attention to detail also saved me a headache. The first house I had him inspect for me was very nice aesthetically but had many hidden issues that David pointed out for me. By doing this, I was able to save time and money by avoiding costly repairs. When that house purchase fell through, he did the house inspection for the house I ended up closing on. Because of him, I am a homeowner now! I enthusiastically recommend David to anyone and everyone in Western North Carolina who are in the process of buying a house!

David has inspected four homes for me, so I know his work!! Not only is he incredibly thorough and professional, but he also is incredibly kind and caring. I explained to him my anxiety about mold and he took extra care to highlight areas that he thought would be issues and reassured me when he could tell they weren’t going to be issues. He also is willing to constantly improve his services - I explained to him my fears about EMF and he did some research and expressed interest in learning more. David is easily reachable for scheduling and any follow up questions. I’ll definitely use David if I ever buy a house again!

What a great experience working with David! Super prompt communication, thurough inspection, and easy to understand report. David is very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I would absolutely recommend Home Remedy and would work with David again without hesitation!
