Welcome To Sherlock Homes Inspections

Your one stop shop for all your property inspection needs

You’ve made the decision to buy a house or to sell your home. This should be an exciting time filled with thrilling new possibilities, but what if your hopes are coupled with worries that the property might have problems you did not anticipate?

What if you don’t even know what to look for?
What if what appears to be a dream home is really a nightmare in disguise? Hire Sherlock Homes Inspections to help by providing you with information about the house, condo, townhome or business property you want to purchase or sell.

I am David Vidler, Sherlock Homes Inspections owner and property inspector, and I want to make certain that you have all the knowledge you need before you make a decision that will change your life.

I named my company Sherlock Homes Inspections to reflect my integrity and experience to thoroughly investigate your prospective property, whether it is a home or a business, and furnish you with an inspection and a report that are a cut above what I have seen other property inspectors provide. I set the precedent that other property inspectors in North Alabama are trying to reach. I am straightforward, honest, and I pride myself on my attention to detail.

Expertise You Can Trust

Committed to Excellence

I promise to give you the best service possible. As a dedicated husband, father and grandfather with genuine family values, I don’t want any of my customers finding themselves getting in over their heads. In fact, I perform each and every inspection as if I or a member of my family was the one seeking to buy or sell the property.

- My Undertaking To You -

I undertake to provide you with a respectful, courteous and safe inspection service and follow a strict code of ethics in all my work. In this regard, and as a member of the US' foremost home inspection professional association, I am backed by the InterNACHI $10,000 Honor Guarantee.

InterNACHI will pay up to $10,000 (USD) maximum collective aggregate for the cost of replacement of personal property lost (and not recovered, restituted or insured) during an inspection and stolen by an InterNACHI-certified member who was convicted of or pleaded guilty (or no contest) to any criminal charge resulting from the member's taking of the client's personal property. Claimant agrees that the exclusive venue for any action against InterNACHI arising out of this Honor Guarantee is the District Court in Boulder County, Colorado. InterNACHI's Honor Guarantee is valid in all of the U.S. and Canada.

If your participating inspector misses anything, we'll buy your home back.

And now for the “fine print”:

• Honored for 90 days after closing.
  

• Valid for home inspections performed for home buyers by Sherlock Homes Inspections LLC..
  

• We'll pay you whatever price you paid for the home.
  

• The home must be listed with a licensed real estate agent.
  

• Excludes homes with material defects not present at the time of the inspection, or not required to be inspected per InterNACHI's Residential Standards of Practice.
