Personalized Home Inspections, for you and your Family
For More Peace of Mind
What Our Clients Are Saying
We’re proud to earn referrals through honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail. Here’s what recent clients have shared about their experience.

I've been inspecting homes for 10 years, and I still walk into every one the same way: like I'm the one buying it. A home inspection isn't just a checklist — it's the last real chance to know exactly what you're getting into before you sign. My job is to give you that clarity, without spin and without surprises. I'll walk you through what I find, explain what actually matters versus what's routine maintenance, and make sure you leave with real confidence in your decision — whatever you decide. I'm a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and an FAA-certified Remote Pilot, which lets me get eyes on parts of a home — roofs, chimneys, hard-to-reach areas — that a lot of inspections simply miss.
Testimonials
I called a few inspectors most were over priced and or were not available when I needed them to be. I'm sure Lamar was busy but made an effort to inspect a home for me on my schedule not his. He was there 4 hours inspecting the house before I even got there. Lamar inspected the entire house from top to bottom. He found very important issues that needed to be addressed. Which are actually make or break. We are at the top of our budget and don't need any issues to fix going into a new home. With a major purchase we don't need any surprises. Lamar is knowledgeable, polite, and easy to talk to. He really does inspect the home like he was purchasing it himself or family. We walked through the house and Lamar explained the problem thoroughly and easy to understand. I was happy to do business with him and will recommend him to anyone that needs a good honest inspector. Thank you Lamar.”

“Recently purchased a house in West Alabama. The house was a beauty, updated kitchen, baths, and great floors. My realtor suggested different home inspectors and I choose Crawford and assoc. Lamar did a great job, very thorough and honest then took the time to explain his inspection. The inspection revealed a potentially costly issue, allowing me get a full picture of the home. I still purchased the home and love it, something I wouldn't be saying had I not had a thorough inspection. In this real estate market some are skipping inspections. My advice is don't skip it, get the right inspector, get Crawford. The fee is a nothing compared to being happy with your new home.”

“Working with Lamar as a first time home buyer was wonderful! He prides himself in his work and treated our inspection as if it were a house he were going to buy. Before he completed the inspection he had us meet him on site and showed/discussed with us everything he was going to put in his report. He was kind, easy to talk with, and great at answering any questions that we had. I would highly recommend him to anyone (especially first time home buyers) that is looking for a home inspector.”

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. A thorough inspection catches the issues that aren't visible at a walkthrough — structural problems, electrical hazards, water damage, and more — before they become your problem. It's a small cost for real peace of mind.
