Home Shield / FAQs

Questions every Tulsa-area buyer asks.

Frequently Asked

If you’re new to the inspection process - or it’s been a while since you bought a house - these are the questions that come up most.

01

What is a home inspection?

+

A home inspection is a detailed visual evaluation of the home’s structure and major systems—from roof to foundation—designed to identify issues that may not be immediately visible. At Home Shield Inspections, every inspection is comprehensive, unbiased, and documented in a clear, easy-to-understand report.

02

What services does Home Shield Inspections offer?

+

We offer four services: a Residential Inspection for buyers, an 11-Month Warranty Inspection before your builder’s one-year warranty expires, a New Construction Inspection before you close on a new build, and a Pre-Listing Inspection for sellers who want to get ahead of the buyer’s inspection.

03

What areas do you serve?

+

We serve Tulsa and the surrounding communities across northeastern Oklahoma, including Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Sapulpa, Sand Springs, Glenpool, Coweta, Claremore, and more throughout Green Country.

04

Is Anthonie licensed and certified?

+

Yes. Anthonie Bounds is a licensed and insured home inspector (OK License #70003206) who is InterNACHI® Certified (NACHI25051531) and ASHI Certified. He’s also a firefighter, and he brings that same safety-first attention to detail to every inspection.

05

How long does a home inspection take?

+

Most inspections take about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. In some cases it takes longer—the inspection takes as long as it needs to so nothing is overlooked.

06

How much does an inspection cost?

+

Pricing is based on your home’s heated square footage and starts at $375. You can see the full square-footage tiers on our pricing page, get an instant quote online, or contact us for an exact quote.

07

Should I attend the inspection?

+

Attending is encouraged when possible. It gives you a chance to see the home firsthand, ask questions, and better understand how everything works before you get your report.

08

How can I prepare for a home inspection?

+

Make sure all key areas are accessible, including the attic, crawlspace, electrical panels, and water heater. Confirm that utilities are on and that pets are secured before the inspector arrives.

09

Can a house fail a home inspection?

+

A home doesn’t pass or fail. The inspection simply provides an objective look at the home’s condition so you can make an informed decision—buy, negotiate, or walk away.
