Reinspection in Greensboro, NC
A focused visit to confirm that agreed-upon repairs have been completed before closing. Family-owned since 2007 · Licensed by NC HILB. Independent — no repair upsell.
What a reinspection is
After a home inspection turns up defects that the buyer requests be addressed, a reinspection is a return visit to confirm that the seller's repair work has been performed. Home Spectors reinspection is scoped to the specific items on your repair request — it is not a second full inspection.
What we do
- Return to each item on your repair request list.
- Verify visible completion — that the work has been done and is functioning at the time of the visit.
- Note any items that appear incomplete, done incorrectly, or that surface a new concern.
- Deliver a focused reinspection report with photos.
What we don't do
- A full re-inspection of systems that were not on the repair request.
- Guarantee the long-term quality of the seller's repairs. We can only confirm that the item appears completed on the day of the visit.
Reinspection pricing is based on the number of items and their locations. Call (336) 382-7269 for a quick quote.
What we can and can't see
Not every repair is easy to see. Some work is done behind drywall. Some is underground. Some is inside a sealed piece of equipment. Some is covered by paint or new finishes.
The inspector notes what is visible on the day of the visit. When part of a repair is covered up, the report says so and notes what could not be verified.
How repair documentation helps
If the seller has invoices, receipts, permit records, or photos of the work in progress, share them with us before the visit. Documentation is helpful information, especially for work that is now covered up.
The inspector still notes what is visible. Documentation does not certify the quality of the work. It gives the buyer a written record of what was described.
When a municipal permit was pulled
Some repairs require a permit from the city or county. When a permit was pulled, the governing building-inspection department is the authority on code compliance — not Home Spectors. The reinspection is not a code inspection. We do not use "brought up to code" or "code compliant" as inspector conclusions.
What you receive
- A written report focused on the items on your repair-request list.
- A photo of each visited item.
- A short note for each item — appears complete, appears incomplete, appears done incorrectly, or surfaces a new concern.
- A note where an item could not be verified because it was concealed.
- Delivered digitally, typically same-day or next business day, in the same platform as our other reports.

For real estate agents
If you represent a buyer whose repair-request list has been agreed on with the seller, here is what to plan for:
- Schedule the reinspection after the seller reports the repairs are complete and before closing.
- Ask the seller for invoices, receipts, permit records, and photos. Share those with us before the visit.
- Coordinate access — most reinspections need the same interior and exterior access the original inspection required.
- On-site time is typically 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how many items are on the list.
- The written report is delivered digitally, typically same-day or next business day.
- Home Spectors does not certify contractor work, does not certify code, and does not guarantee future performance. The report describes what is visible on the day of the visit.

Reinspection FAQ
What is a reinspection?+
A reinspection is a focused return visit after the seller says the agreed-upon repairs are complete. Home Spectors returns to each item on your repair-request list and confirms visible completion on the day of the visit. It is not a second full home inspection.
Do you certify that repairs were done correctly?+
No. The inspector notes whether each item appears complete, appears incomplete, appears done incorrectly, or surfaces a new concern — based on what is visible at the time of the visit. Home Spectors is not a licensed contractor for the trades involved and does not certify contractor workmanship or guarantee long-term repair quality.
What if a repair is behind drywall or otherwise concealed?+
The inspector cannot see behind covered surfaces. The report notes what is visible and what could not be verified because it was concealed. Buyers who need concealed-work verification typically engage the trade contractor directly, or obtain the municipal permit-inspection record where a permit was pulled.
Does the reinspection cover items that were not on the repair-request list?+
No. The reinspection is scoped to the items on your repair-request list. Systems and components that were not on the list are not re-examined.
Do you check for code compliance?+
No. Home Spectors does not inspect for code compliance on any inspection, and a reinspection does not become a code inspection because a repair was performed. Where a repair required a municipal permit, the city or county building-inspection department is the authority on code.
How much does a reinspection cost?+
Pricing is based on the number of items on your repair-request list and the locations at the property. Call (336) 382-7269 for a quick quote. We do not publish a starting price — item counts and access vary too much for a single number to be useful.
How long does a reinspection take?+
On-site time is typically 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how many items are on your list. The report is delivered digitally, typically same-day or next business day.
Should the same inspector who did the original inspection do the reinspection?+
Where practical, yes. We match the same inspector when scheduling permits, so continuity of observation is preserved. If schedules do not line up, a different Home Spectors inspector performs the reinspection using the same report format and the same scope discipline.
