About

Working with The Art of House

At The Art of House, a Dallas-Fort Worth home inspection company, we value our clients’ time and the level of trust they put in our hands as we guide them through the home buying process. We encourage our clients to meet up with us towards the end of the home inspection. This allows the inspector to focus all of his attention on the property during his own walk-through so that he can better explain the data he has collected. After the walk-through, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and go over our findings before leaving the property. This gives our clients a good understanding of the home’s condition while they wait for us to generate a full same-day report back at our office.

Richard’s Experience

 Richard has worked in the construction and real estate industries for over 30 years. Before becoming a licensed home inspector, he owned a home building and remodeling company in Dallas and worked on several high-profile commercial construction projects, like the renovation of the 1902 Interurban Railway Station. Today, he uses everything he knows about home building and renovation to help his clients make the wisest decisions possible when it comes to their own home repairs, sales, and purchases.
