Royal Oak Home Inspections
Buying a home in Royal Oak is one of the largest financial decisions you'll make. PreFlight Home Inspections provides thorough, independent inspections for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents throughout Royal Oak and the surrounding Oakland County communities.
Housing stock across Oakland County spans everything from mid-century ranches to new construction subdivisions. Older homes here commonly show aging electrical panels, original plumbing, settled foundations, and roofs at the end of their service life. Newer builds carry their own issues — rushed grading, incomplete flashing, and HVAC installations that were never properly commissioned. Both need someone who knows what to look for.
Every Royal Oak inspection is a complete visual evaluation of the home's major systems: roof and exterior, foundation and structure, electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, attic and insulation, and interior components. You receive a photo-documented report within 24 hours, written in plain English with practical priorities — what matters now, what can wait, and what it's likely to cost.
