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: 

  • Flush Toilets
  • Run Faucets
  • Change Air Filters
  • Report On Interior Temperature and Humidity
  • Check for Signs of Pests or Rodents

Our Client Testimonials

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

Jules H.
I had NPI do a home inspection for me recently and Alex's inspection by far was the most thorough and complete that I've seen. He went out of his way to answer all my questions and he explained things in a comprehensible way. I highly recommend Alex and NPI!
Anthony P.
Having collaborated with NPI for over two years as a realtor, I can attest to their professionalism and commitment to excellence. Their reliability, prompt communication, and comprehensive reports make them an indispensable partner. I highly recommended them for fellow real estate professionals seeking top-notch inspection services.
Jonathan B.
Alex and Evan were great to work with! They were very thorough but also practical. The color-coded inspection report is very easy to read and know where to take action. I would highly recommend and use again!
Teresa B.
NPI did a great job inspecting the home we were purchasing. Evan & Alex were thorough and skilled in a broad range of residential systems. The report was great, with detailed descriptions sortable by system, severity, or chronology. Best of all, the user could create an Inspection Repair Request report. Our experience was very positive and I would recommend NPI, as well as use them again.
Yen D.
National Property Inspections really is the best inspection team in town. Evan gave me the minutia of every thing that needed to be fixed with the property. Extremely thorough, efficient, and professional. I cannot recommend this company enough.
Kelvin L.
Alex helped us with our new home inspection with incredible efficiency, thoroughness, and professionalism. The reports you get from him in person as well as digitally are extremely detailed but informative: you're able to glean everything that is actionable, cause for worry, or just simple FYIs in a very digestible manner. Would highly recommend!
Daisy M.
My fiancé had Alex Schiedler as the inspector for our soon-to-be home, and he was a true professional. He took his time to inspect everything thoroughly and answered every question and concern we had. Thank you for all your hard work! I highly recommend Alex as an inspector.
Martin B.
Prompt and courteous service. Alex and his team at National Property Inspections are knowledgeable in their craft, and they explained issues in plain English so even those who are not savvy in construction could understand. Would recommend them to anyone needing their services.
Eric S.
I couldn't say enough about how detail-oriented and painstaking this company is with homes. They are well-versed in their knowledge and practical. They even spent about an extra hour over time just answering any questions at length. Responsive, professional, and high quality!
