From comprehensive pre-purchase evaluations to pre-listing, new construction, and 11-month warranty inspections — Darrell Tinglov delivers thorough, unbiased reports across McKinney and all of North Texas.
Every home is different, and every inspection should be too. Darrell Tinglov brings TREC-licensed credentials, nearly 30 years of professional inspection experience, and over 14,000 completed inspections to every service offered — so you get the complete picture of your property, every time.
The comprehensive home inspection is a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and safety. It covers every major system and visible component — and it's the inspection Darrell performs most often for buyers, sellers, and homeowners across McKinney, Collin County, and the surrounding North Texas communities.
Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make. A thorough inspection removes the guesswork and replaces it with facts — the true condition of the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and every other major system. You walk away knowing exactly what you're dealing with.
A pre-purchase inspection is performed during your option period — that brief window after going under contract when you can still negotiate or walk away. Darrell evaluates the property top-to-bottom and delivers a detailed report you can use to make an informed decision before closing.
The option period is short and the pressure is high. A thorough pre-purchase inspection from a TREC-licensed professional gives you the leverage to negotiate repairs, request seller concessions, or — when necessary — walk away from a home with hidden issues. Darrell's reports are clear, thorough, and ready to share with your real estate agent for negotiation.
A pre-listing inspection is performed before you put your home on the market. Darrell evaluates the property exactly the way a buyer's inspector would — so you know what they'll find before they find it. You get the chance to address issues on your own terms, before they become surprises during the buyer's option period.
Surprises kill deals. A pre-listing inspection identifies and prices problems early, so you can either fix them quietly before listing or disclose them upfront with realistic expectations. Sellers who do this consistently see fewer renegotiations, faster closings, and stronger sale prices in the McKinney market.
A new construction inspection is an independent, third-party evaluation of a newly built home — performed before the builder's final walk-through. Darrell evaluates workmanship, code compliance, and finish quality, giving you a list of items the builder should address before you take ownership of the keys.
New does not mean perfect. Even brand-new homes from quality builders routinely have defects — missing insulation, improperly installed flashing, electrical issues, plumbing problems, and finish errors. With McKinney's massive new-build market, an independent inspection is the only way to verify what you're getting actually matches what you're paying for.
An 11-month warranty inspection is a thorough evaluation of your newly built home performed during the final month of your one-year builder warranty. Darrell identifies every defect, settling issue, and workmanship problem that has emerged during your first year of living in the home — so you can have your builder fix them before the warranty expires.
Most new home builders offer a one-year comprehensive warranty that covers virtually all defects. After 12 months, that warranty expires — and any issues become your responsibility to fix at full cost. A pre-expiration inspection catches everything: nail pops, settling cracks, HVAC issues, plumbing leaks, and finish problems that can easily add up to thousands in repairs if missed.
Beyond the standard residential inspection, Professional Property Inspection offers a range of specialty add-on services to give you the complete picture of your property. Whether you're buying a home with a backyard pool, an outbuilding, or unique features that require additional evaluation, Darrell can include these in your inspection package.
Pools and detached structures aren't included in the standard TREC inspection scope — but they can carry significant repair costs if problems are missed. A failing pool pump, an unsafe outbuilding, or a damaged retaining wall can easily run thousands of dollars to address. Adding specialty inspections to your inspection package ensures nothing major slips through.
