Hi, I'm Dean Hinson
I was born and raised in Durham, and I inspect homes across Raleigh-Durham and the Triangle as a North Carolina licensed home inspector, license #6319.
I completed home inspector training through InterNACHI and AHIT, and my education covers best building practices and customer interaction.
That means I put what I find in plain terms so absolutely anyone can understand, whether it's your first purchase or your tenth.
For most people, buying a home is the largest purchase they will ever make. Put it in the hands of someone you can trust. I sort every finding into what is urgent and what is routine. You get clear photos and clear directions, and your report arrives within 24 hours.
Questions do not end when the inspection does. I'm available any time for a call or conference, whether you are a buyer or an agent.
New agent friendly New to the business? I'm happy to walk you through the inspection and the report, so you feel confident in front of your clients.
Clear, easy-to-read reports
Your report arrives within 24 hours, with photos and every finding sorted by how much it matters. Safety items come first, then major items, then routine maintenance.
Example only, not from a real client report.
For real estate agents
Tight due-diligence windows need an inspector who communicates. Hinson Home Inspection gives your clients a clear report within 24 hours and answers your questions directly.
