Home Inspector Shawnee KS – Bulldog Inspections

Approved Home Inspector Shawnee KS.

Did you know Shawnee KS. was first called Gum Springs?

Then it was later renamed for the Shawnee Indians who first occupied the area in the early 1800s.

It has award-winning schools, easy access to I-35 hwy, 10 min. to downtown Kansas City, and a thriving community that enjoys city living without the hustle and bustle.

Shawnee is also home to Shawnee Mission Park, hosted to the Oregon, California and Santa Fe Trails, and thrived during the Great Depression as on of the leading fruit and vegetable producers in the region.

But, before you start picking out drapes, you first need complete home inspection companies to make sure your new home turns out to be something to brag about.

#1 We walk on the roof*.

Did you realize property inspectors aren’t expected to climb on roofs?

It’s a fact. And many won’t.

But we always do (as long as it’s safe and easy to reach) because there’s no clearer way to examine the shingles, roof structure, seals, air outlets, and flues.

When you pick Bulldog Professional Inspection Services to handle your property inspection in Shawnee, you’re not hiring a simple property inspection.

You’re receiving a Certified Master Inspector® who has checked thousands of roofs and understands what it requires to spot the biggest defects and address the top concerns you (and your property insurance company) need answers to – like “How’s the roof?”

*Provided it’s reachable and safe.

From heating and cooling systems to water heaters, flooring materials, and light fixtures, this guide helps you predict maintenance and repair schedules so you can stay ahead of the game.
