Little Rock houses, old and new
The age of the neighborhood tells you a lot about what to look for. These are the three kinds of Little Rock homes we see most.
Quapaw Quarter and downtown
Some of the oldest houses in the city, many from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Expect raised floors over crawl spaces, generations of repairs, and plumbing and wiring that may be a mix of original and newer work.
Hillcrest and the Heights
Early and mid-1900s bungalows and cottages on tree-lined, sloping streets. Crawl space moisture, older electrical, aging roofs and big trees close to the house are the things we look at hardest here.
West Little Rock
Newer subdivisions built into the hills, from 1970s ranch homes to recent construction. Steep lots, retaining walls, and drainage around the foundation matter as much as the house itself.
What we watch for in Little Rock
Every inspection covers the roof, structure, exterior, foundation and crawl space, attic and insulation, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and interior. Around Little Rock, these come up again and again.
Crawl space moisture
Humid summers and wet springs keep crawl spaces damp. We look for standing water, wet insulation, wood damage and ventilation problems under the floor.
Soil, slope and drainage
Clay soils swell and shrink with the seasons, and hillside lots send water toward the house. We check grading, gutters and downspouts, and the cracks and uneven floors that movement leaves behind.
Older electrical and plumbing
In older homes we note outdated or modified wiring, older panels and aging supply and drain lines, so you know what may need an electrician or plumber.
Storm wear on roofs
Central Arkansas sees severe thunderstorms, hail and high wind. We inspect the roof covering, flashing and attic for damage, leaks and wear.

Wind mitigation and FORTIFIED, from the same team
Storms are part of life in Central Arkansas, and more homeowners are asking how their roof and framing hold up to wind. Both inspecting owners are InterNACHI Certified Wind Mitigation Inspectors and record what they find on the standard 1802 form. See our services for what a wind mitigation inspection covers.
Planning a new roof? Bobby is an IBHS-credentialed FORTIFIED Evaluator. The evidence for a FORTIFIED designation has to be photographed while the roof is open, so call before the roofers start. Read more about FORTIFIED evaluations.
Around Little Rock
We also inspect across the rest of Pulaski County (North Little Rock, Sherwood, Jacksonville, Maumelle, Wrightsville) and in Saline, Faulkner, Lonoke, White, Garland, Grant and Perry counties. Buying with Spanish as your first language? Read about getting help in Spanish.

Who will inspect my home?
