Pen. Check. Clipboard. Check.
Knowhow? That’s a given! The Team at
Scott’s Inspections has some of the best eyes
in the business when it comes to noticing
potentially problematic areas in homes while
having the expertise and experience to provide
professional service.
Founded by Scott Emerson in 1983,
Scott’s Inspections, Inc. has become one of the
most respected and sought-after inspection
companies in the San Antonio market. The
company has conducted more than 26,000
inspections ranging from single-family units,
condos, apartment complexes, ranches, warehouses,
restaurants, office buildings and more.
Scott, himself, has become a sought-after
industry resource, by brokers, agents and other
real estate related industries. Scott has represented
the real estate inspection industry
before the Texas State Senate, appeared on
area radio and TV and provided continuing
education courses. This year he is the
Chairman of a local inspectors association –
SA-TAREI.
In addition to being licensed by the
Texas Real Estate Commission, ALL of
Scott’s inspectors are required to complete an
additional 12-week on-site training program to
acquire more first-hand experience. Each
member of the team brings a special area of
expertise to the company. Several worked
their way up through the construction industry
or while others received HVAC certifications,
graduated from College with full degrees,
even receiving Applied Science degrees in
Electronic Engineering from ITT. Also, every
inspector holds a Termite Technician License
through the Texas Department of Agricultural
and must attend continuing education seminars
through professional trade organizations
to keep them current with the ever-changing
inspection industry.
The Scott’s Inspections team realizes
that buying a new home is one of the biggest
investments most people make in their lifetime,
and fear of the unknown is pretty common
to most new homeowners…especially
when it comes to how to make informed decisions
and how to get the most value for their
money!
Mistakes and oversights are common,
especially in new-home construction. It’s not
uncommon to find trades that will float from
home to home. That’s where Scott’s
Inspections excels. Scott’s New Construction
Inspection Program will works independently
from the builder to review all major structural
components and mechanical systems of the

newly constructed house and ensure that quality
workmanship and materials were used
throughout the process. The company’s 3phase
new construction package and reinspection
services are especially valuable for
absentee buyers, in order to ensure that initial
construction and repairs are performed in
compliance with industry standards.
For those interested in purchasing
investment property or multi-family units,
Scott’s Inspections, Inc. identifies major items
in need of repair or what will become an
expense factor and can be negotiated with the
seller. Health and safety issues are addressed
for the investors, including parking lots, water
damage, fall hazards, potential fire hazards;
plumbing leaks, water damage and roofing;
electrical deficiencies, foundation issues,
uneven floors and much more.
While the Texas Real Estate
Commission now requires that home inspectors
carry E & O (Errors & Omissions) insurance,
Scotts Inspections, Inc. has carried this
protection for over 6 years. All of Scott’s
inspectors carry Professional Liability
Insurance and General Liability well in excess
of the state requirements.
