Southeast Alabama
Same-day reports on Protected and Complete. Talk directly to your inspector. Backed by InterNACHI's $25,000 Honor Guarantee.
Enterprise is anchored by Fort Novosel (the Army Aviation Center) and carries high housing turnover from DOD relocations. Resale stock spans 1950s-1990s ranches, post-2007-tornado rebuilds, and newer subdivisions on the city's south and east edges.
About 30 miles west of our Dothan office.
Report link by midnight on inspection day, usually much sooner. Essential: within 24 hours of inspection completion. Time matters in due diligence.
You aren't routed through a call center. The inspector who walked your home is the one answering your questions afterward.
If we miss a major defect that should have been visible, InterNACHI's Honor Guarantee covers the repair, up to $25,000. Backs every inspection.
A non-invasive, visual evaluation of everything safely accessible the day of the inspection. Each section in your report includes photos, plain-language notes, and recommended next steps. Our full home inspection checklist shows everything we evaluate.
Roof covering, flashing, chimney exterior, gutters, drainage, siding, trim, doors, windows, decks, porches, walkways, grading.
Visible foundation walls, structural members, signs of water intrusion, rot, settlement, cracks, deflection, crawlspace vapor barrier.
Roof framing and sheathing from inside, insulation depth and coverage, attic ventilation, bath fan termination, leaks, pests.
Walls, ceilings, and floors checked for damage or moisture. Doors and windows operate and seal. Stairs, railings, trip hazards, detectors.
Built-in appliances run through a normal cycle. Sinks, faucets, drains, supply shut-offs, tubs, showers, toilets, exhaust fans.
Visible supply and waste piping, water heater age and condition, functional pressure and drainage, main shut-off, water service entry.
Main panel, visible branch wiring, service entry, grounding, bonding, representative outlets, switches, GFCI/AFCI, safety concerns.
Furnace, air handler, heat pump operation. AC condenser, refrigerant line condition, ductwork (accessible), filter, vents, age estimate.
Garage door auto-reverse, fire separation, handrails, guardrails, trip hazards, lighting, egress, anything that struck the inspector as off.
Patterns specific to Enterprise alongside what we see across Southeast Alabama more broadly. Knowing what to expect shapes how we focus on inspection day.
Homes rebuilt after the 2007 EF4 tornado vary widely in build quality. We verify roof age, structural framing approach, and permit history where it matters to insurance binding.
Military turnover means many homes have been short-term rented between owners. Cosmetic updates layer over deferred mechanical maintenance. We separate what's been done from what just looks new.
Standing water, failed vapor barriers, and high humidity that drives wood rot, fungal growth, and HVAC ductwork failures. See what moisture does to a home when it goes unchecked.
Long hot summers wear systems out fast. We document age, refrigerant line condition, evaporator coil rust, and apparent capacity vs the home's square footage.
Cornerstone publishes the Housing Condition Index, a study of finding rates across our Wiregrass-region inspections, including Enterprise and the surrounding area. The patterns we see most often:
Most homes were built when R-19 or R-30 met code. We document depth and where a top-off pays back.
Among homes with crawl spaces. Drives wood rot, fungal growth, and HVAC duct failure when left unchecked.
Kitchens, baths, garages, and exteriors missing the required ground-fault outlets. A safety upgrade regardless of build year.
Tank-style heaters average 10 to 12 years. We note age so you can plan replacement before failure.
Detectors older than 10 years, missing from bedrooms, or interconnection issues. Inexpensive to fix and easy to overlook.
The places we know, and the housing stock around them.
