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.

Professional Home Inspector in Princeton, TX
Professional, licensed home inspections for Princeton buyers, sellers, and builders.
Henderson Home Inspection gives clear, honest findings before you close on your Princeton home.
A Professional Home Inspector Who Knows Princeton's Growth
Princeton has exploded over the last decade, and the pace along US-380 shows no sign of slowing. New subdivisions off FM 982 and Monté Vista continue to fill in what used to be open farmland, while the older homes near downtown Princeton and Fourth Street tell a very different story about age, materials, and past repairs.
Henderson Home Inspection works both sides of that divide. Whether you're closing on a new build near Princeton High School or buying a decades-old house closer to the historic core of town, we bring the same detailed home inspection report with photos and plain-language explanations of what we find.
As a local home inspector who covers this stretch of Collin County regularly, we understand the builders active in the area, the soil conditions common to this part of North Texas, and the kinds of issues that tend to show up in Princeton's newer construction versus its established streets.

Local Considerations for Princeton Homes and New Builds
Princeton's mix of brand-new subdivisions and older farmhouse-era homes means no two inspections look quite the same here. A house built last year off US-380 has different risks than one built decades ago near the original town site.
Here's what our team watches for most often in Princeton properties:
- Clay-heavy soil common to this part of Collin County, which can shift foundations over time
- Rapid new-home construction, where a construction phase inspection or pre drywall inspection catches framing and mechanical issues early
- Older homes near the historic downtown area, which may have aging plumbing, electrical, or roofing that's due for review
- Drainage patterns around newer lots that haven't fully settled, especially after heavy North Texas rain
- HVAC systems sized for Princeton's hot summers, which need proper airflow and insulation to perform well
- Builder-grade finishes in new developments that sometimes hide corners cut during a fast build schedule

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!
