Who inspects homes in Tyler, Texas?
That would be me — Jeff Stalnaker, TREC License #26322-PI. I run Cardinal Home Inspections out of Tyler and I cover Tyler and the rest of Smith 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 Tyler 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
I'm based right here in Tyler, and there's no market I know better. From historic brick-street homes in the Azalea District to new builds off Old Jacksonville Highway and everything in the Cumberland Road growth corridor, Tyler's housing stock spans over a century of construction styles — and after inspecting homes from every one of those eras, I can tell you each has its own priorities.
Tyler's older neighborhoods feature pier-and-beam foundations, mature trees (and mature root systems near sewer lines), and homes that have seen multiple renovation cycles — which makes electrical and plumbing updates a key inspection focus. South Tyler's newer subdivisions bring slab-on-grade construction on expansive clay soils, where drainage and foundation movement deserve close attention. Many Tyler homes also have pools, and Jeff's 30+ years of pool industry experience is a major advantage here.
Local note: Home to the Texas Rose Festival and the largest municipal rose garden in the nation.
