A Certified Master Inspector Serving Keller, TX
I’m Ricky Ray, owner of Texas Pro Home Inspection. I’m a TREC-licensed Professional Real Estate Inspector (#22916) and a Certified Master Inspector®, and I’ve inspected more than 5,000 homes across the Fort Worth area, including Keller. Whether you’re buying, selling, or checking on a home you already own, you get the same thing every time: a careful inspection, a clear photo report, and a walkthrough of what matters before you leave the property.
What's Different About Inspecting a Keller Home
Keller built out mostly between the mid-1980s and 2010, so the typical Keller home is an established one: 15 to 35 years old, on a larger lot than you’d find in newer suburbs, often with mature trees, a pool, and a sprinkler system. Some of the west and north sides are acreage properties. That age range is a sweet spot for inspection, because it’s when the original systems start reaching the end of their lives.
In Keller I pay close attention to roofs (how many hail storms has this one been through?), HVAC and water heaters that may be original or on their second replacement, and plumbing materials in late-1980s and early-1990s homes. Mature trees close to the foundation and sprinkler systems that soak the slab are a common combination on Keller’s expansive clay, so grading, drainage, and foundation movement get a careful look. And when there’s a pool, I inspect it in the same visit — priced separately, but one appointment and one report.
What I Inspect
Every inspection meets or exceeds the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice and covers the visible and accessible condition of:
- Foundation and structure, including grading and drainage around the home
- Roof coverings, flashing, and attic ventilation
- Electrical systems, panels, and GFCI/AFCI protection
- Heating and cooling equipment, including each system in multi-zone homes
- Plumbing supply, drains, water heaters, and fixtures
- Interior and exterior components, windows, doors, and built-in appliances
Keller homes often have pools, sprinkler systems, and detached structures. I inspect those during the same visit when they’re present — priced separately, but one appointment and one report. See the full list on the What Is Inspected page.
What You Get

- Time to walk through the findings with me and ask questions
- A report written for real decisions: what's a defect, what's a safety concern, and what's a normal characteristic of a home this age

What Clients Say
Buying, Selling, or Staying Put in Keller
Buyers: A buyer’s inspection is your one chance to understand the home before the option period ends. The findings are also your negotiating leverage.
Sellers: A pre-listing inspection lets you fix or disclose issues on your own terms instead of discovering them from the buyer’s inspector a week before closing.
New construction and warranty: Keller is mostly built out, but infill and custom builds still happen. I offer phased inspections during construction and 1-year builder’s warranty inspections before that warranty expires.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Keller home inspection take?
Most Keller homes take three to four hours. Larger homes, homes with pools, and acreage properties with outbuildings take longer. I’ll give you a realistic estimate when you schedule.
Do you inspect pools and sprinkler systems?
Yes. They’re separate services with their own fees, but I do them during the same visit and they go in the same report, so you’re not arranging a second inspector.
Should I be there for the inspection?
You’re welcome to attend the whole thing, but the most useful part is the end. I walk through the findings with you on-site, and you can ask anything.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. TREC license #22916, Certified Master Inspector®, and insured for liability and errors & omissions.
