Carrollton’s established neighborhoods, townhomes near the DART and A-train stations, and homes off I-35E all get a patient, detailed TREC-standard inspection from Certified Master Inspector Anthony Ivory.
Carrollton is a mature, well-loved suburb that sits where Dallas, Denton and Collin counties meet. Its historic downtown square has become a lively stop on the DART Green Line, and the Trinity Mills station connects to the A-train running north to Denton. Much of the city’s housing went up during the growth years of the 1970s and 1980s, giving Carrollton a large supply of brick homes on mature lots, joined in recent years by townhomes and infill projects near the rail stations. Texas Inspection Services inspects Carrollton homes from its home base in Haslet, with I-35E, SH 121 and the George Bush Turnpike making the trip simple.
Anthony Ivory owns the company and performs each inspection. He is a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®), an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector and a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector, license #24660, and he has 15 years of hands-on experience evaluating North Texas homes. Each inspection follows the TREC Standards of Practice and covers roofing, attic, structure, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. You get a Spectora report online that is easy to navigate, full of clear photos and simple to share with anyone helping you make a decision, whether that is your agent, your lender, a family member or the contractor you call for estimates.
Clients say Anthony makes a stressful process easier. He invites you to be there, points out what he finds as he goes, and answers questions without hurrying you along. His Spectora profile shows 5.0 stars from 30 reviews, with clients praising his patience, professionalism and attention to detail. Carrollton agents value his straightforward reports, and he also works with builders, mortgage firms and banks. Repeat customers are a big part of his business, which says a lot about how he treats people. In Anthony’s words, “Mediocrity is not an option.”
A house built 40 or more years ago tells its history to an inspector who knows where to look. In Carrollton, Anthony often evaluates foundations that have weathered decades of wet springs and dry summers on clay soil, so he watches for brick cracks, out-of-level floors and signs of earlier repairs. He checks electrical panels and wiring that may predate modern expectations, inspects supply and drain lines for aging materials, and notes the age and condition of water heaters and air conditioning systems. Roofs in the area take repeated hail hits, and older homes may carry several layers of updates worth understanding before you buy.
If you are buying or selling in Carrollton, a careful inspection is one of the smartest steps you can take. Anthony offers comprehensive home inspections, pre-listing inspections that help sellers prepare, focused roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC inspections, new construction phase and 11-month warranty inspections for newer townhomes, and commercial property inspections. Try to book within the first few days of your option period so there is time to get estimates and negotiate. Call Texas Inspection Services at 817-829-6967 to schedule.
