Owasso has grown from a small town into one of the busiest housing markets north of Tulsa, and many of its homes are less than thirty years old. Home Shield Inspections inspects Owasso homes for buyers, sellers and new homeowners, with a clear digital report delivered within 24 hours.
Owasso sits along the Highway 169 corridor, mostly in Tulsa County with its east side reaching into Rogers County. The population has more than tripled since 1990, so most neighborhoods are made up of subdivision homes built in the last few decades. Newer does not mean problem-free: a 15-year-old house is often due for its first roof replacement, a new water heater or a new air conditioner, and we check the condition of each so you can plan for it.
New streets are still going in around Owasso. A new house is built quickly by many different trades, and no one checks the whole home on your behalf before you close. A new construction inspection looks at framing, roofing, insulation, plumbing, electrical and HVAC while there is still time to put items on the builder's list. Common finds on new homes include gaps in attic insulation, loose or missing flashing, grading that sends water toward the slab and appliances or fixtures that were never hooked up correctly.
Most new homes come with a one-year builder warranty. By month eleven, an Owasso home has been through a summer and a winter, and the house has had time to settle. Drywall cracks, doors that no longer latch, drainage problems and HVAC that struggles to keep up tend to show by then. An 11-month warranty inspection gives you a photo-documented list to send your builder while the repairs are still theirs to make.
The clay soil across the Tulsa area swells when it is wet and shrinks in dry spells. Most Owasso homes sit on concrete slabs, and that movement can show up as cracks in brick veneer, uneven floors or doors that drag. We look at the foundation where it is visible, the grading around the house and the gutters and downspouts that carry water away from it.
Spring storms bring hail and high wind to Green Country, and summer heat bakes attics. We inspect the roof covering, flashing, gutters and attic, and use thermal imaging to help find moisture and missing insulation that are hard to see with the eye alone.
Buyers in Owasso almost always order their own inspection. A pre-listing inspection lets you see the findings first, so you can make repairs, disclose what you need to and price the home before an offer comes in.
