The Best Home Inspectors in Oklahoma City: What to Look for & How to Choose

Updated: Apr 20

Introduction

Buying or selling a home in Oklahoma City? A professional home inspection is one of the most important steps in the process. But with so many options, how do you choose the best home inspector in OKC?

At D1 Home Inspections, we know what makes a great inspector—because we strive to be the best every day. Whether you're a homebuyer, seller, or realtor, here’s how to choose an inspector who will give you peace of mind and protect your investment.

What to Look for in an Oklahoma City Home Inspector

1. Proper Licensing & Certifications

Oklahoma requires home inspectors to be licensed and follow the Oklahoma Standards of Practice. Look for inspectors who also have industry-leading certifications, such as:

  • InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors)

  • ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors)

At D1 Home Inspections, we are InterNACHI Certified and adhere to both Oklahoma’s SOP and InterNACHI’s best practices to provide a thorough, reliable inspection.

2. Experience with Oklahoma Homes & Climate Factors

Oklahoma homes face unique challenges, including:

  • Foundation issues due to clay-heavy soil and shifting ground.

  • Severe weather damage from tornadoes, hail, and high winds.

  • High humidity & mold risks, making air quality testing essential.

Choosing an inspector who understands local construction types, weather patterns, and common home issues ensures you get a detailed, Oklahoma-specific inspection.

3. A Thorough, Easy-to-Understand Report

Your home inspection report should be:

Detailed – Covering major systems like the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

Visual – With high-quality images and descriptions of any issues found.

Easy to Read – No confusing jargon—just clear explanations.

At D1 Home Inspections, we use Spectora’s modern reporting system, making it simple to understand your home’s condition at a glance.

4. Additional Services Like Mold & Air Quality Testing

A standard home inspection is crucial, but some issues—like mold and air quality—aren’t always visible. Choosing an inspector who offers mold and air quality testing (like our Sporecyte-certified service) gives you a deeper look at potential hidden risks.

5. Availability & Scheduling Flexibility

Real estate moves fast, and so should your home inspector. Whether you’re under contract or prepping to sell, you need someone who offers:

  • Fast response times

  • Flexible scheduling, including evenings & weekends

  • Quick turnaround on reports

We know timing is everything, which is why D1 Home Inspections offers evening and weekend appointments to fit your schedule.
