Professional, TREC-licensed home inspections in McKinney — with thermal imaging, WDI, foundation elevations, and irrigation included at no extra charge. Same-day digital reports.
McKinney's historic district is one of the finest in North Texas — Victorian and early-1900s craftsman homes around the downtown square, on pier-and-beam foundations, with a century of plumbing, wiring, and structural updates layered over original construction. Inspecting them is specialist work: knowing what's period-normal versus what's a genuine hazard keeps a historic-home report useful instead of alarmist.
West McKinney tells a newer story. Stonebridge Ranch and its neighbors, built through the 1990s and 2000s, are hitting their first replacement cycle — hail-worn roofs, original HVAC, fogged builder windows — while new construction keeps pushing north and west, where we run all three phase inspections plus the 11-month warranty check. Foundation elevation mapping on clay soils comes with every inspection, whichever McKinney you're buying.

Every Guardian inspection exceeds TREC Standards — and McKinney buyers get four additional services included at no extra cost.
