Home Inspection in Greensboro and the Triad
The Triad has its own number and its own inspectors. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point and everything between.
Inspecting in Greensboro
Triad housing stock skews older than Charlotte or the Triangle, so our Greensboro home inspectors see the findings shift: aging roofs, original panels, crawlspace moisture and foundations that have had decades to move.
Older is not worse. It does mean the inspection needs somebody who has seen a lot of them, which is the point of using inspectors who work this market rather than driving over from another one.
Areas we cover
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Kernersville, Jamestown, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Clemmons, Lewisville and Burlington.
Every service, available in the Triad
Everything we offer is available here, home inspections, pre-drywall, radon, mold, termite, sewer scope, infrared, well water, drone roof inspections, pool and commercial.
Triad housing by decade
The Triad’s stock spans a wider range of build eras than either Charlotte or the Triangle, and the decade tells you most of what the report will say.
- Pre-1950. Original wiring remnants, plaster, settled foundations and crawl spaces that have seen everything. Often beautifully built.
- 1950s to 1970s. Brick ranches with original panels, cast iron waste lines and HVAC added long after the house was finished.
- 1980s to 1990s. Polybutylene supply piping is possible, and first-generation synthetic materials start appearing on the exterior.
- 2000s onward. Newer subdivisions in Summerfield, Oak Ridge and around Clemmons, where the findings turn to workmanship and drainage rather than age.
The Triad has its own inspectors, who work these houses every week rather than driving over from another market.

What we find here
Common issues we find in Triad homes
Triad housing stock is older than Charlotte’s or the Triangle’s, and that changes the report. Older houses are not worse houses. They are houses with more history, and the history is the part that has to be documented properly.
Original electrical service
Fisher Park, Irving Park, Sunset Hills, Ardmore and High Point’s older streets still hold fuse panels, undersized services and cloth-insulated branch wiring. We report what is there and what an insurer is likely to ask about.
Roofs and remaining life
Many Triad roofs are on their second or third covering. Layered shingles, worn flashing and failed boots are common, and roof age drives a large share of post-inspection negotiation.
Crawlspaces with decades of history
Long-standing moisture leaves evidence: staining, fungal growth, insect damage and repairs made by five different people over forty years. Separating current problems from old ones is most of the work down there.
Foundations that have had time to move
Settlement in an eighty-year-old house is normal. Active movement is not. The report separates the two rather than alarming you about every crack in the brick.
Cast iron and clay waste lines
Original drain lines in older Greensboro and Winston-Salem neighborhoods are past their design life, and mature trees are everywhere. A sewer scope settles the question in about twenty minutes.
Additions and conversions
Enclosed porches, finished basements and converted attics are common here and frequently predate permits. We inspect what is accessible and say plainly what could not be verified.
Common questions
Triad inspection questions
Should I walk away from an older house?
No. Almost every Triad house over sixty years old has a list. The point of the inspection is to know what is on that list and what it will cost before your due diligence period runs out, not to talk you out of the house.
Do you cover Winston-Salem and High Point?
Yes: Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Kernersville, Jamestown, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Clemmons, Lewisville and Burlington.
Will old wiring stop me getting insurance?
It can. Fuse panels, knob and tube remnants and certain older panel brands come up repeatedly with carriers. We document exactly what is installed so you can ask your agent a specific question instead of a vague one.
Is radon worth testing in the Triad?
Yes. Radon comes out of the soil and varies house to house, and Piedmont homes do test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. See radon testing.
Do you test for lead paint or asbestos?
Those are specialist testing services and are not part of a standard home inspection. In a house built before 1978 we will point out materials that commonly contain them so you can decide whether to have them tested.
Do you have inspectors based in the Triad?
Yes. The Triad has its own inspectors and its own number, 336-295-1144.
