HOME / PRE-PURCHASE CONSULTATION

Buying a home with a pool? Get a pool builder's opinion before you close.

A pool can be the best part of the backyard or a five-figure surprise. A general home inspector spends minutes on it; Brian has built them since 2006. This is a consultation inspection that works anywhere in the country: you send the photos, video and serial numbers, and Brian writes a plain-English report you can negotiate with.

What we review

What does the consultation cover?

Call first

A short call to scope the pool, the home and your closing date, and to set the fee (from $300).

You send it

Photos and video of the pool, surfaces, deck and equipment pad, plus every serial-number plate.

Brian reviews

Structure, surfaces, equipment and safety items, read the way the builder would.

Your report

Plain-English findings tied to your photos: what matters, what can wait, what to ask for.

What Brian looks at in what you send:

Structure & surfaces — shell, plaster or liner, tile and coping: condition and remaining life
Equipment pad — every pump, filter, and heater run, rated, and aged by serial number
Plumbing & visible equipment wiring — what shows in your photos at the pad
Decking & drainage — movement, settlement, and where water wants to go
Safety items — barriers, gates, and drain covers documented for verification with your local authority

Photo-documented report — every finding tied to a picture, not a paragraph of jargon
Remaining-life flags — which equipment is near or past its expected lifetime
Plain-English summary — what matters, what can wait, what to ask the seller for
Negotiation-ready — a defensible document your agent can put in front of the other side

From Brian's own field files: what these items look like in real Dallas–Fort Worth backyards.

This is a consultation inspection: visual, non-invasive and remote. The report is only as good as the photos, video and serial numbers we receive. Brian will tell you on the call what to capture.
