Alamo
Looking for a home inspector Alamo Heights buyers trust with an older house? Rodeo Home Inspections LLC is a home inspection company serving San Antonio TX and the surrounding suburbs, run by Chris Schmeis, a Texas licensed professional inspector with 20 years in construction. On the inner loop that means someone who reads older construction, decades of updates, and the systems that are quietly past their prime, then tells you the truth about it in plain English.
The local housing stock
Older homes,
Alamo Heights is one of San Antonio’s most established neighborhoods: tree-lined streets, mature live oaks, and well-built brick, stucco, and stone homes that mostly date from the 1920s through the 1960s. They are the kind of houses people hold onto, update carefully, and sell with stories, and they reward an inspector who knows how older construction was put together.
A San Antonio home inspection of an older house is a different job than a new build. Original systems are at or past their service life, remodels hide years of shortcuts, and the slab has lived through every drought and flood since it was poured. That is precisely where a builder’s eye and 20 years of construction experience earn their keep.
What the inspection covers here
Home Inspector Alamo Heights:
- Dated electrical panels, wiring, and service capacity in houses from the 1920s to the 1960s
- Galvanized and cast-iron plumbing that is at or past the end of its useful life
- Foundation reads on sixty to a hundred years of Texas clay movement and drainage history
- Roofs at the end of their service life and flashing that has long outlived its sealant
- Remodel and addition work, including the shortcuts a fast renovation can hide
- HVAC units added long after the house was built, sized for keyed-in ductwork
If you are comparing options to find the best home inspector San Antonio has to offer, here is the honest difference: one inspector on every visit, a certified home inspector San Antonio buyers can count on, and a report that explains what matters and what can wait. That is the same home inspector San Antonio suburb buyers get across the metro, from Stone Oak to Alamo Heights.
