Work, travel, or family obligations could find you away from home for an extended stretch. Or maybe you choose to split your time between two or more properties based on weather and seasonal hobbies. Whether you’ll be away for days, weeks, or months, National Property Inspections can help keep your home safe and in excellent condition.

NPI’s trained and licensed inspectors serve as your eyes and ears while you’re away, ensuring your property remains safe, secure and in great condition. We work with you to schedule and customize a checklist based on your specific needs and provide a weekly digital report, complete with photos. As part of our Home Watch program, we’ll automatically:

  1. Make sure all doors and windows are secure, checking for signs of forced entry
  2. Test outdoor motion sensors and lighting
  3. Check for weather damage
  4. Bring in any mail, newspapers, and packages
  5. Verify that any contracted services are being completed (pest control, lawn care, and more)


In addition, you can also choose from the following services or request custom services unique to your property:

Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

José R.
Mike is a wonderful inspector and is extremely detailed in what he does. Mike has done numerous inspections for myself, clients, and friends. I refer Mike to anyone that tells me they are in need of an inspection as I know they will receive a top-tier service.
Javier V.
Amazing experience! First time going through a home inspection and I have to say that Mike was very informative and thorough. Definitely recommend him for any home inspection needs!
Angela R.
Mike was prompt, personable, thorough, and made recommendations in a manner that did not provoke anxiety. I received the report on the same day and found it to be very easy to understand with color-coded levels of importance indicated throughout. I highly recommend!
Lisa J.
My inspector, Mike, was early for the appointment and very professional. Mike answered my questions and pointed out some of the items that he had identified that would be part of his report. I received my detailed report the same day; the chilled bottle of water you supplied was a nice touch as well.
Noah L.
Mike is the man! He’s extremely knowledgeable, and ACTUALLY has experience with construction. This means he has an understanding of the meat and potatoes of what makes a home structurally sound. 10/10 would recommend Mike and his services, you won’t be let down!!
Alex P.
I've used Mike with National Property Inspections dozens of times and he never disappoints. His level of knowledge in all things related to residential and commercial real estate is above and beyond any other inspector I have used before. I would highly recommend him. A+++ in my book.
Lina P.
Mike did an excellent job on conducting the home inspection. His extensive knowledge of what he was inspecting made us feel comfortable, and we appreciate his hard work. We highly recommend using this company. Thank you for your excellent job!!
Andrea C.
Very professional and extremely thorough. Plus, I received my report the same day which was great. A report from NPI is a nice 'to-do' list for my new home. Mike, our inspector, answered all our questions when at the property. I would highly recommend him!
Donna M.
Mike was awesome! This was our first time buying a house. We now know everything we should from professional needs to DIY. He was friendly and comfortable to talk with. Never made us feel we were asking too many questions. I would definitely recommend him.
Doreen C.
Mr. Mike, I thank you so much! I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet with Mike and I’m glad he was available to do my inspection. He did a wonderfully detailed inspection because you could tell that he's seen it all. Thanks again! I will recommend you and your company to all.
