Home Inspector Raymore MO – Bulldog Professional Inspection Services (816) 564-3081
Affordable Home Inspector Raymore MO.
Affordable Home Inspector Raymore MO.
Raymore MO. has been the location of Bulldog Professional Inspection Services since 2014 and got its name from its two founding fathers, George Rea and Henry Moore.
Before the Civil War, Raymore had a population of just 3 people, the local post office has been open since 1872, and the Watkins family farm (aka Lakeland Farm) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It’s no longer all corn fields and dirt roads, though; Raymore is now surrounded by major highways like I-49, I-470, and I-435, which make it just a 30-minute drive from downtown Kansas City and a quick jaunt to everything else around town.
According to Wikipedia, Raymore was also the fastest-growing city in Missouri in 2023 and the 66th fastest-growing city in the country, which may be due to its award-winning school district, great parks, solid neighborhoods, and rising home values, with almost 80% being owner-occupied.
But, before you go and place an offer on one of these suburban treats, don’t forget to hire an affordable home inspector who knows his stuff enuff to look over your new home with a fine-tooth comb and keep you from settling into a house that might make you regret ever moving in the first place.

#1 We check 100% of things we can see, touch, and test.
#1 We check 100% of things we can see, touch, and test.
This may come as a surprise, but professional house inspectors are NOT required to inspect all the items in a home.
In fact, they only have to check a representative number of items. In the average-sized home, this usually comes to roughly 400 items.
But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services checks 100% of the items we can see, touch, and test during a house inspection.
This comes to about 2000 items and includes every outlet, switch, door, window, floor, wall, ceiling, tub, shower, faucet, toilet – and everything from the roof ridge to the sump pump.
But being hands-on also means we know HOW to check the things in your home that break, crack, click, buzz, arc, and leak because turning them on and off sometimes isn’t enough. Sometimes, the order of things reveals problems that less experienced house inspectors would have missed
We do this to give you a complete understanding of what’s working and what’s not. Unlike some inspections that skim over areas, our goal is to provide you with the information to make educated decisions about your home.
So, whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your Raymore home, you’ll get a house inspection that prioritizes depth, accuracy, and understanding.

#5 We walk on the roof
#5 We walk on the roof
Did you know home inspectors are not required to walk on roofs?
It’s true. And many don’t.

#6 We run water the entire inspection when a home is vacant.

No system inside your home is more insidious than the plumbing system.
In fact, more than $15.5 billion dollars are spent each year on plumbing leaks, moisture damage, and the health hazards they create.
This makes the plumbing the most important system in a home.
An inexperienced building inspector Raymore MO. will treat it like it’s any other area, but we’ve been around long enough to witness the crazy and devastating effects that come with taking this system for granted. Whether it’s occupied or vacant.
Like the time the pipes burst in the basement of an occupied home during the winter when the heating system was working and the thermostat was set to 65 degrees.
Some would say no way, but we know better.
That’s the reason we run water through the drains for the entire inspection.
Because plumbing leaks don’t always show up right away. Sometimes it’s a slow leak under a sink and sometimes it’s inside a wall.
But running the water carefully for 2-3 hours almost guarantees that if there’s a leak, we’ll find it.
And the reason why we don’t like to do a home inspection when the water is shut off to the home.
#7 We hang ID tags on all major shutoff valves.
#7 We hang ID tags on all major shutoff valves.
Your home has a number of shutoff valves that controle and isolate the major systems that keep it running smoothly – particularly the heating and plumbing systems.
The ones we’re concerned with are the ones that control your gas and water lines so they can be isolated for maintenance, repair, and (god forbid) emergencies.
And since most homeowners don’t know what they look like, where they’re located, what they do, or that they even exist, we hang colorful tags so you and your family can find them when you need them.
This might be a small touch, but it can make a big difference in avoiding tragedy when things go wrong.
#8 We take photos of all important data plates.
#8 We take photos of all important data plates.
Sometimes, you need proof that a certain something is the age someone says it is. That’s where data plate photos come into play.
We take a photo of the AC data plate, furnace data plate, and water heater data plate and include them in the house inspection report for you to see.
This not only proves the actual age of the equipment but also serves to validate the information provided inside the seller’s disclosure so you see for yourself if it contains accurate and reliable information or not.
If you’re buying or selling a home in Raymore, you deserve an affordable home inspector who anticipates issues before they happen to help you get the most from your purchase or keep things running smoothly as the seller.
#9 We inspect a house from top to bottom (literally).
#9 We inspect a house from top to bottom (literally).
Everyone knows gravity is an unrelenting force that weighs us down and tries to grind us into dust.
But we use this to our advantage by letting it help us find and follow the damage caused by leaks and structural movement.
Starting from the top of the home, we work our way downward to the foundation. Along the way, we follow the clues left behind until we find the origin, cause, it stops, or it disappears into a place we can’t go.
Then we’ll tell you what’s happening, how concerned you should be, where we lost it, how far it went, whether we can see damage to other areas, if there are signs of past repairs, and what we recommend.
All with the purpose of telling the full story your home has to tell.

Steve Rodriguez is a 10-year military veteran with an honorable discharge from the United States Navy.
Steve began his journey in 1991 as a Boiler Technician (BT) on the USS Wainwright (CG-28) out of Charleston, South Carolina. After a quick stop at Great Lakes Naval Depot, he was next stationed on the USS Vandegrift (FFG-48) in San Diego, California, as a Gas Turbine Electrician (GSE).
During his time, he traveled across Europe and the Middle East, gaining valuable leadership and broadening his horizons. Then, in 1996, as an E-5, he applied for – and was accepted into – the prestigious BOOST officer training program in Newport, RI.
After completing the 12-month program, Steve studied Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University, Architectural Engineering at the University of Kansas, and Finance at Avila College, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Finance.
After a short stint on Wall Street as a Fixed Income Securities Trader, Steve left NYC after 9/11 for Kansas City, where he discovered the home inspection profession.
Steve now owns and operates Bulldog Professional Inspection Services as one of Kansas City’s best home inspectors, and it’s only 25-Under-25 home inspection company. He brings the same dedication he had in the Navy as an affordable home inspector in Raymore and beyond.
