Who inspects homes in Palestine, Texas?
That would be me — Jeff Stalnaker, TREC License #26322-PI. I run Cardinal Home Inspections out of Tyler and I cover Palestine and the rest of Anderson 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 Palestine 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
Palestine has one of the finest collections of Victorian-era homes in East Texas, along with newer neighborhoods and country properties throughout Anderson County. Historic homes are some of my favorite work — they have stories, and reading them takes patience.
Victorian and early-1900s Palestine homes commonly feature pier-and-beam foundations, original or piecemeal-updated electrical, older plumbing materials, and roof structures repaired across many decades. These are wonderful houses that simply need to be understood before purchase. Rural Anderson County properties add wells, septic systems, and outbuildings.
Local note: Palestine's Dogwood Trails and the Texas State Railroad draw visitors from across the state each spring.
