Practical Guidance From Experience
With a background in construction, I help translate inspection findings into real-world context and practical next steps.
As an Austin home inspector, I perform a thorough, methodical evaluation of the home’s major systems, completed with the level of care and attention to detail that is critical for your major purchasing decision.
I inspect the property using normal operating controls, follow Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) Standards of Practice, and apply additional tools and inspection methods when they provide meaningful insight so that you can have a deeper understanding of the home you are considering.
My goal in each Austin real estate inspection is to clearly identify safety concerns, costly defects, and conditions that deserve attention, so you can move forward with confidence.

Eaton grew up in San Antonio and moved to Austin in 2000. He graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Business Management and later built a home theater and audio-visual system sales and installation business in 2008. Working in 1000s of homes around Austin pulled him into the construction side of the business and he realized that his real interest was in learning about all aspects related to the home building process.
Becoming an Austin home inspector became the obvious next step and today he works with homeowners and real estate professionals throughout Austin and the surrounding areas. He takes pride in being clear, steady and easy to work with so that his customers feel informed and empowered with confidence in the home buying decision process.
Outside of being an Austin home inspector, most of his time goes to enjoying time with his wife and son where they live in Cedar Park, TX. He enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and taking on small home renovation projects.
Based in Cedar Park, we proudly serve the Greater Austin area, including Austin, Round Rock, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and surrounding communities. We also travel to San Marcos, Waco, Fredericksburg, and Brenham upon request.
