Who inspects homes in Mineola, Texas?
That would be me — Jeff Stalnaker, TREC License #26322-PI. I run Cardinal Home Inspections out of Tyler and I cover Mineola and the rest of Wood County regularly. I do every inspection myself, walk you through what I find while we're standing in the house, and get your photo report back within 12 hours. In Mineola that includes buyer and Market Ready inspections, new construction and 11-month warranty inspections, pools and spas, roofs, termite/WDI, and septic, well, and lawn sprinkler work.

Local Knowledge, Licensed Expertise
Mineola's historic downtown and railroad heritage come with some of the area's most character-rich housing — early-1900s Victorians, craftsman bungalows, and farmhouses on acreage. Older homes reward a patient, experienced inspector — and patient is exactly how I work. These houses have stories, and I enjoy reading them.
Historic Mineola homes frequently feature pier-and-beam foundations, older wiring (sometimes knob-and-tube remnants), cast iron or galvanized plumbing, and layers of renovation from different eras. None of these are automatically deal-breakers — but you need to know what's there. Rural Wood County properties add wells, septic systems, and outbuildings to the picture.
Local note: An official Main Street City with an Amtrak stop on the Texas Eagle line.
