Why Local Home Inspections Matter on the Grand Strand

Category 5 Home Inspection Is Here to Help You Make Informed Decisions

Coastal properties come with their own quirks, from salt air wear on roofing to how the local building codes have shifted over the years, and that’s exactly why home inspections around here should come from someone who actually knows the area. Category 5 Home Inspection was founded by a family with more than 50 years in Grand Strand real estate and over 30 years of construction, roofing, and HVAC experience between us. We’re not reading a checklist off a app for the first time; we’ve built, repaired, and managed the very systems we now inspect.

Every visit includes a full, top-to-bottom look at the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems in your home, delivered in a clear report you can actually understand. We won’t dismantle or damage anything to get our answers. Instead, we combine years of trade experience with a careful eye so you walk away knowing exactly what you’re buying, selling, or maintaining.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer nervous about hidden problems or a seller wanting to get ahead of surprises, our home inspectors treat your property like it’s our own.

Built By Contractors, Not Just Inspectors

Most home inspection companies check boxes. We've actually held the tools. Between roofing operations management, HVAC ownership, and years overseeing new home construction for a national builder, our background gives us a sharper eye for what's really going on behind the drywall.

A Resource for Grand Strand Agents

We know a smooth closing depends on more than just the inspection day. Our reports are built to make life easier for the real estate agents we work alongside, with clear findings and repair documentation your clients can act on quickly.
