Working with me

Direct communication

You’ll work directly with me from your first question through the inspection, report, and follow-up.

Practical experience

Years spent working in residential homes have taught me how homes are built, how they age, and where problems commonly develop.

Independent advice

Hamby Home Inspections is an inspection-only business. My recommendations are based on what I observe—not on selling additional work.

Structure & Interior

Foundation, visible framing, attic, insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, guards and handrails.

Major Systems

I inspect the home from roof to foundation, including its major systems, structure, interior, and exterior.

Your Inspection Report

Take a look at a sample report to see how I document the home’s condition, explain concerns, and recommend next steps. You’ll find photos alongside the findings so you can see what I’m referring to.

Questions after you've read the report?

I'll walk through it with you.

Meet Seth Hamby

Before becoming a home inspector, I spent years working in residential homes through a repair and maintenance company that I founded in 2016. That experience has given me a practical understanding of how homes are built, how they age, and where problems commonly develop.
