Bixby has grown fast, and much of what is for sale south of Tulsa is new or nearly new. Home Shield Inspections inspects homes across Bixby for buyers, sellers and new homeowners, with a clear digital report delivered within 24 hours.
Many Bixby neighborhoods were built in the last twenty years, and new streets keep going in. A brand-new house still gets built in a hurry by many different trades, so missing insulation, loose or unsealed roof flashing, reversed hot and cold lines, grading that slopes toward the slab and HVAC that was never balanced all show up. A new construction inspection before closing documents those items while the builder is still on the hook to fix them.
Most new homes come with a one-year builder warranty. After a Bixby summer and winter, settling cracks, nail pops, sticking doors, drainage problems and HVAC issues have had time to appear. An 11-month warranty inspection gives you a documented list with photos to send to your builder before the warranty runs out.
Bixby sits on the Arkansas River, and parts of town are on low, flat ground near the river and its creeks. Like the rest of the Tulsa area, much of the soil is clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. We look closely at grading, gutters and downspouts, foundation cracks and signs of past water around the home. If a property is close to the river, also check its flood zone with your agent or lender.
Green Country gets hail and high wind in the spring, and summer heat bakes attics. We inspect the roof covering, flashing and attic, and use thermal imaging to help spot moisture and missing insulation that the eye alone can miss.
Not every Bixby home is new. Older houses near the original downtown and homes on larger lots at the edge of town come with their own list: aging roofs and water heaters, older electrical panels, and additions or outbuildings put up over the years. A residential inspection covers the structure and major systems, so you know what you are buying before your option period ends.
Yes. Home Shield Inspections covers everything within a 50-mile radius of Tulsa, which includes Bixby, Jenks, south Tulsa and every community in between.
New homes are often assumed to be free of defects, but that is not always the case. A new construction inspection gives you an independent evaluation before you take ownership, and an 11-month warranty inspection catches what shows up in the first year.
Near the end of the builder's one-year warranty, so you have time to send the report to your builder before the warranty expires.
Within 24 hours of the inspection. The report is digital, with photos and plain-language findings, and reads easily on a phone, tablet or computer.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, our certified inspectors are here to provide thorough assessments and peace of mind. Schedule your inspection today.
