Choose a Qualified, Experienced Inspector You Can Trust
Whether you’re purchasing your first home or evaluating a commercial property investment, the inspector you choose matters. A qualified inspector helps you understand the true condition of a property—so you can make informed decisions, avoid costly surprises, and move forward with confidence.
At Upchurch Inspection, qualifications are not an afterthought. Our inspections are performed by licensed, insured, and certified inspectors who meet strict professional standards and are trained to evaluate properties thoroughly, objectively, and consistently across the Mid-South.
Licensed and Certified Inspections in The Mid-South
At Upchurch Inspection, we prioritize professional qualifications, technical expertise, and accountability. Protecting your property through thorough, high-quality inspections is our top priority. With extensive experience, industry training, and a commitment to excellence, our goal is to help clients identify safety concerns, understand material defects, and avoid unexpected financial stress.
Every inspector on our team is licensed, insured, and certified in their respective market. All inspections are performed to the same documented standards and expectations established by our founder, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and clarity—regardless of location.
Unlike surface-level inspections that rely on generic checklists, our inspections take a system-based approach. We examine each property carefully and document findings with detailed narratives, clear photographs, and—when appropriate—video. Our reports are designed to explain not just what we found, but why it matters and what to do next.
