General
Why get a home inspection?
A home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, so it's crucial to know everything is as it should be. We'll tell you about defects, safety concerns, and what will need maintenance. If you're selling, catching problems before listing makes the process smoother.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Cassville and primarily serve Morgantown, plus Cheat Lake, Maidsville, Fairmont, Bridgeport, Clarksburg, and the surrounding North Central West Virginia area. We're licensed in both West Virginia and Maryland, so call (304) 282-7539 if you're nearby.
Are you licensed and certified?
Yes. TDS Home Inspection is licensed in West Virginia and Maryland, certified through American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT), and a member of InterNACHI.
Do newly constructed homes need inspections?
Yes! An inspection on a new home catches problems before they become serious, while they're easier, and the builder's responsibility, to correct.
