Get to Know National Property Inspections®
America's Inspection Experts Since 1987
Since 1987, National Property Inspections, Inc. has been a leading name in the home and commercial property inspection industry, built on a foundation of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Our journey began with the vision of our founder, Roland Bates, who recognized the critical need for comprehensive and unbiased property inspections to empower homebuyers and sellers with vital information. From those early days, NPI has grown into a respected national brand, and we maintain our commitment to Roland’s original principles.
