Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate foundation, roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and built-in appliances following TREC Standards. We identify visible defects, provide maintenance guidance, and deliver detailed reports to help clients make informed real estate decisions while adhering to Texas regulatory requirements.
Termite Inspections
Through partnerships with licensed pest control specialists, we coordinate termite (WDI) inspections that detect wood-destroying insects. These assessments identify active infestations or damage, crucial for property transactions and maintaining structural integrity in Central Texas' climate conditions.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Our licensed plumbing partners perform sewer scope inspections using camera technology to examine drain lines. This service identifies hidden issues like root intrusion, cracks, or pipe deterioration in older cast iron systems, preventing costly repairs through early detection.
Septic System Evaluations
Coordinated with certified septic service providers, these evaluations include tank pumping to assess system components. We identify maintenance needs or hidden failures in absorption areas, ensuring septic systems function properly while complying with environmental regulations for rural properties.
New Home Inspections
Specialized inspections for new construction identify hidden defects before closing. We examine structural components, mechanical systems, and workmanship quality against TREC guidelines, providing documentation to request builder corrections and protect homeowner investments in developing Central Texas communities.

Report
I am very disappointed with David from a complete inspection. He made promises he didn't keep and then stopped responding to my emails.
David made a very big mistake during my home inspection, the damage was calculated at $826. I documented this with photos. Initially he argued and tried to deny this, but after reviewing video evidence from our nest camera, it was obvious he was at fault... and he agreed to pay me the full amount of the damage he caused.
Later, he only paid a portion of that damage, but promised to make me payments each month. Well, the payments never came and David stopped responding

My husband and I have worked with David twice now. We could not be happier with the service provided. David is extremely thorough and happy to explain in great detail all of his findings. He is friendly, prompt and extremely professional. He commitment to his work makes you feel safe, as a homebuyer, moving forward. I couldnt recommend A-Complete Home Inspection more highly!

I went under contract in March, and had another inspector lined up to inspect the house. But they canceled on me. I only had 3 days option period and I was already at the end of my day 2. So you can imagine I was scrambling to find another inspector. I gave David a call because he already has good reviews on Yelp and Google. And after he learned about my situation, amazingly, he showed up at my house just half an hour later. Keep in mind this is 4:30pm already. Most businesses would have been closed by then, but David was kind and willing to go the extra mile to help me out. I really appreciated

Worked with David Crist and was 100 percent satisfied with everything he did. He want above and beyond and even took the time to show and explain every finding and what he was looking for. I definitely learned a lot today and just having him go over everything was very reassuring as this is my first home purchase. Would recommend him to anyone in the Austin area needing to get inspections done.
