Your Inspection. Done Right.

At Desert Shield Property Inspections, we believe in transparency and preparation.

Below, we outline what to expect and provide downloadable resources to help you prepare.

A home inspection helps you make an informed purchase by identifying potential issues before closing.


  • Before the Inspection – We recommend you attend the inspection if possible. Bring any questions you have about the property.
  • During the Inspection – We’ll assess all major systems, take photos, and document findings. Expect it to take 2-3 hours depending on the home's size.
  • After the Inspection – You’ll receive a detailed report with findings, photos, and recommendations within 24 hours.

A pre-listing inspection helps sellers identify and address issues before listing, leading to smoother transactions.


  • Before the Inspection – Ensure the home is accessible, utilities are on, and major systems are operational.
  • During the Inspection – The process is similar to a buyer’s inspection, but with a focus on identifying areas that may affect your home’s marketability.
  • After the Inspection – Use our findings to make repairs or disclose items upfront to prevent surprises.

Even brand-new homes can have defects. We provide inspections at key phases of construction:


  • Pre-Slab Inspection – Verifies site preparation, plumbing rough-ins, and foundation reinforcements before concrete is poured.
  • Pre-Drywall Inspection – Ensures framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are properly installed before walls are closed.
  • Final Inspection – A full evaluation of all major systems before closing to ensure quality craftsmanship.
  • 11-Month Warranty Inspection – Helps homeowners address warranty-covered defects before their builder’s warranty expires.

How to Prepare for Your Inspection

Sellers & Homeowners:

  • Ensure all areas are accessible, including the attic, electrical panel, and HVAC system.
  • Turn on all utilities (water, gas, and electricity) for a full inspection.
  • Replace dead lightbulbs and test smoke detectors.

Buyers & Realtors:

  • Bring a notepad or use our checklist to jot down any questions.
