He looked at everything in great detail, his home inspection report was very detailed and showed what was missing, what needed to be replaced, and what was a potential hazard to my health in the home. He had cheap ideas for fixing minor issues rather than paying someone a ton of money to fix it. He also did a great job of explaining what things were and how they malfunctioned. He did a really great job.
Katie HenryHome Inspector in Melissa, TX
Professional home inspection services for buyers, sellers, and builders throughout Melissa and the fast-growing US-75 corridor in Collin County.
Henderson Home Inspection delivers thorough, detailed home inspection reports for families building, buying, or selling homes in Melissa, Texas.
Home Inspections for One of Texas's Fastest-Growing Towns
Melissa has gone from a small farming community to one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and the pace shows no sign of slowing. New subdivisions off Melissa Road and around Liberty Grove keep filling in what used to be open farmland, while established pockets near Downtown Melissa and Melissa City Park still hold some of the area's older housing stock.
As a professional home inspector working throughout this corridor, we see both ends of that spectrum every week: brand-new builds still settling on freshly graded lots, and older homes that have held up through decades of North Texas weather. A thorough home inspection accounts for both, checking not just what's visible but what's likely to become a problem as the house ages.
Whether you're closing on a new build near Liberty High School or buying resale closer to Old Town, Henderson Home Inspection gives you a clear, honest look at the property before you sign anything.
What we inspect
Home Inspection Services for Melissa Homeowners and Buyers
Melissa's mix of new construction and established neighborhoods means no two inspections look quite the same. We tailor our approach to the property, whether it's a home fresh off the builder's punch list or one that's changed hands a few times already.
Our services cover the full lifecycle of homeownership, from framing through warranty expiration and everything in between.
-
New Construction Inspections
An independent new construction inspector gives you a second set of eyes during phase inspections and pre drywall inspection, catching issues before walls close them in.
-
New Home & One-Year Warranty Inspections
New home warranty inspection and one year warranty inspection services help Melissa buyers document builder-responsible issues before the warranty window closes.
-
Buyer's Home Inspections
A house inspection before buying gives first time home buyer inspection clients and seasoned buyers alike the facts they need before closing day.
-
Home Warranty Inspections
As builder warranties near expiration, a warranty expiration inspection identifies covered repairs so nothing gets missed once the coverage window closes.
-
Seller's / Pre-Listing Home Inspections
A pre listing home inspection helps sellers get ahead of surprises, giving buyers confidence and reducing renegotiation risk during option period.
What Melissa Buyers and Sellers Should Watch For
Melissa's clay-heavy soil is common across Collin County, but the sheer volume of new development here adds a few wrinkles worth knowing before you buy. Grading, drainage, and construction quality can vary block to block depending on when a section of town was built out.
Local factors we pay close attention to include:
- Foundation performance on expansive clay soil, especially in newer additions still settling after grading
- Drainage and grading around homes near Liberty Grove and other recently developed subdivisions
- Builder-grade HVAC and plumbing installs common in production-built new construction
- Older homes near Downtown Melissa with aging electrical panels or original plumbing
- Fencing and yard drainage on larger lots common to Melissa's semi-rural pockets
- Roofing wear from hail exposure, a recurring issue across this part of North Texas

Larry Martin
Jim Henderson is the best! So thorough and precise! He always does such a great job and my clients are always very well informed as to the condition of the property they are purchasing. Ginger Weeks RE/MAX DFW Associates Realtor
Ginger WWe were so impressed, even the builder said that he had never seen an inspection that was so thorough, referring to the number of pages in the provided inspection report. It's a new home, and we are so glad we hired Henderson. He took photos of everything and if there was an issue it was highlighted in yellow or red. There were a few little things that we had not noticed. Jim walked us around after he had finished his inspection, so we were able to see everything in the report, he made great recommendations and observations. Very professional. Thank you, Jim!
