Veteran-Owned, TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#4304) with nearly 30 years of experience and over 14,000 home inspections completed across McKinney, Collin County, and North Texas.
For nearly 30 years, Darrell Tinglov has been performing home inspections across McKinney, Collin County, and the surrounding North Texas communities — building a reputation as one of the region's most respected and thorough inspectors. As the owner of Professional Property Inspection, Darrell has built that reputation on three things: integrity, deep field experience, and detailed reporting that gives buyers and sellers the information they actually need.
Darrell has personally completed over 14,000 home inspections — including more than 6,000 in the McKinney area alone. That depth of local experience means he knows exactly what to look for in North Texas homes: the soil-related foundation movement common to Collin County, the HVAC stress patterns from Texas summers, and the construction shortcuts that show up in tract-built homes from every era of the McKinney boom.
A 5-year United States Air Force veteran who served during the Gulf War, Darrell brings a level of discipline and attention to detail that most inspectors simply don't carry. Before transitioning into home inspection in 1997, he held a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe & Powerplant license and worked as a licensed aircraft mechanic — a profession where missing a small detail can have catastrophic consequences. That mindset is reflected in every inspection he performs today.
Since 1999, Darrell has also served as a TREC-approved instructor, teaching and mentoring the next generation of Texas home inspectors in both classroom and hands-on field environments. Many of the inspectors working in North Texas today were trained by Darrell himself — a credential very few inspectors in the state can match.
When you hire Professional Property Inspection, you get straightforward answers, clear explanations, and honest guidance. No alarmism, no jargon, no upselling — just the truth about what's there and what it means for your purchase. Darrell follows both Texas state standards and national inspection guidelines on every job, and delivers detailed digital reports within 24 hours.
Professional Property Inspection isn't just a business — it's a continuation of the values Darrell carried with him from the United States Air Force and his years as an FAA-licensed aircraft mechanic. From the first phone call to the final report delivery, every decision is shaped by the standards McKinney-area buyers, sellers, and Realtors deserve: honesty, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to doing the job right the first time.
For most families, buying a home is the largest financial decision they'll ever make. That's a responsibility Darrell takes seriously on every inspection. When you hire Professional Property Inspection, you're not hiring a corporation, a franchise, or a rotating roster of sub-contractors. You're hiring a credentialed, decorated professional who treats every inspection like it was a home his own family would live in.
"Discipline, attention to detail, and honest reporting — that's what 30 years of inspections have taught me, and that's what every client gets."
When you hire Professional Property Inspection, you're hiring a fully credentialed professional with nearly three decades of real-world experience and a military and aviation background that informs every inspection.
From your first phone call to final report delivery, here's what sets Professional Property Inspection apart from every other inspector in the McKinney market.
5-year U.S. Air Force veteran. The discipline, accountability, and attention to detail show up in every inspection.
Nearly 30 years of field experience and over 6,000 inspections in McKinney alone — local knowledge runs deep.
TREC-approved instructor since 1999. Trains other Texas inspectors — the inspector other inspectors learn from.
Every inspection is performed by Darrell himself. Never delegated, never sub-contracted. You get who you hired.
"Darrell took the time to walk us through every page of the report and explained things in language we actually understood. As military spouses moving to the area, his veteran background made us feel right at home. Couldn't recommend him more."
"Darrell inspected our home before we listed it. He flagged a few issues we didn't know about, we got them addressed, and the home sold in under a week with no buyer pushback. Best money we spent on the whole sale."
"I've been a Realtor in Collin County for 12 years and Darrell is on my short list of inspectors I trust completely. He's thorough, fair, and his reports never blow small things out of proportion. Clients always thank me for the referral."
