From bungalows near the courthouse square to new subdivisions spreading toward Ray Roberts Lake, Denton homes get a careful, TREC-standard inspection from a Certified Master Inspector based just down I-35W in Haslet.
Denton has a personality all its own. The county seat wraps around a historic courthouse square lined with music venues and local shops, and two universities — the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University — keep the city young and busy. That mix shows up in the housing. Streets near downtown and the campuses hold older frame homes and mid-century ranches, many converted to rentals over the decades, while the edges of town keep filling with new subdivisions and active-adult neighborhoods like Robson Ranch. Texas Inspection Services travels up I-35W from Haslet to inspect Denton homes of every age, from student rentals to brand-new builds.
Every inspection is performed by Anthony Ivory himself. He holds the Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) designation, is an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector, and is licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission as a Professional Inspector (TREC #24660). With 15 years of experience behind him, Anthony follows the TREC Standards of Practice on every job and works through a house methodically, from the roof covering and attic framing to the electrical panel, plumbing, HVAC equipment and foundation. When he is finished, you receive an organized Spectora report online, filled with photos and notes you can share with your agent or contractor.
What clients notice most is how much Anthony explains. He welcomes buyers to attend, walks them through what he is seeing, and stays patient when the questions keep coming — something first-time buyers near UNT and parents shopping for a student’s house both appreciate. Reviewers on Spectora give him 5.0 stars across 30 reviews, often calling out his thoroughness and professionalism. Real estate agents, builders, mortgage firms and banks rely on his reports because they are straightforward to read and easy to act on. His guiding standard is simple: “Mediocrity is not an option.”
Denton sits on the same shrink-and-swell clay found across much of North Texas, and it can be hard on older pier-and-beam and slab homes alike. Anthony looks for the telltale signs of movement — sticking doors, cracked brick veneer, uneven floors and gaps at window frames. Spring hail rolling across Denton County can bruise shingles and dent gutters without anyone noticing from the ground, so the roof gets close attention. Older houses near the square may have aging wiring, galvanized supply lines or past additions worth a second look, while newer homes on the north and east sides benefit from phase inspections and an 11-month warranty check before the builder’s coverage runs out.
Whether you are buying near the square, selling a rental close to campus, or closing on new construction out toward the lakes, you deserve an inspector who treats your home as if it were his own. Anthony also offers pre-listing inspections, so Denton sellers can find and address issues before buyers do, plus focused roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and foundation evaluations and commercial property inspections. Schedule early in your Texas option period so you have time to review the report and negotiate. Call Texas Inspection Services at 817-829-6967 to book your Denton inspection.
