“Bulldog Professional Inspection Services is the absolute best! “
“Bulldog Professional Inspection Services is the absolute best! This is the only company I trust completely to find anything and everything that may be an issue in a home. If you have not tried this company, do yourself a favor and try them!” – M. Bennett, Kansas City, MO. (August 2024)
The Best Home Inspectors in Kansas City
Call Us for an exhaustive home inspection performed BY THE OWNER who is a Certified Master Inspector® and has personally uncovered tens-of-thousands of defects in 15,000+ Kansas City area homes since 2003.
“Truth is, you don’t NEED the best home inspector when a house is in great shape. You can call anyone for that. But when things go wrong, doubt creeps in, and the prospect of losing the home is real, you’ll want someone who stays calm, understands the issues, knows your options, and can help you see the big picture – and that ONLY comes with experience.”
From our 100% inspection to our easy-to-understand same-day report.
Or from our wrap-up discussion to our follow-up call, we’ve designed a home inspection business that gives you REAL answers as soon as it’s over.
First, we check roughly 2000 items in and around the home. This includes 100% of the items we can see, touch, and test.
Then when it’s over, we’ll use direct, honest, and plain language to share what we found while focusing on the 5 most important areas of the home.
This is when we answer your questions, address your concerns, establish timelines, help you predict outcomes, work out next steps, and even help you map out a strategy, so you not only understand what you’re buying, you know what to do next.
Finally, you’ll get an easy-to-understand home inspection report later that day full of enhanced photos to help you see the issues with your own eyes. Inside, each comment will ask 11 key questions hand-picked to help you understand just how concerned you should be.
Your home inspection will be smooth like butta🧈.
So, if you’re shopping for prices because you’ve been MISLED into believing all Kansas City home inspectors are the same, trust me when I say…
Home Inspection Companies Are NOT Created Equal.
In fact, this next piece of wisdom can save you from one of the most expensive mistakes you can make when buying a home:
Do NOT use cheap home inspectors.
That’s because a cheap home inspector will not only confuse you into thinking a small problem is big, but they’ll also be the ones to waste your money by scaring you away from a perfectly good home that could be great with just a little bit of work.
And because the odds of a poor or inexperienced home inspector overlooking or misunderstanding a major defect (and minor ones) is inherently high.
And because they’re the ones offering low prices.
This is how cheap home inspector cost you time, stress, frustration, disappointment, and money.
Especially when 60% of NEW home inspectors quit within 12 months, and 80% of ALL local home inspectors do amateur work. Harsh, but true.
This means any savings you get upfront might end up costing YOU thousands down the road.
That’s a big gamble on a 5, 6, or 7-figure investment.
But the other 20% have the chops to do it right the first time.
We ask the tough questions others don’t so we can make connections they miss, uncover the deeper problems they overlook, and see the big picture in ways they simply can’t.
It’s a quality and peace-of-mind that ONLY comes with years of experience and dedication.
And I’ve been working my tail off since 2003 to get better every year:
I DON’T do it part-time
I DON’T do it on the weekends
I DON’T do it for the money
I DON’T do it for fun
And I DON’T do it because it’s easy (it’s not)
In other words, I don’t take my work lightly.
This is how I can protect you from nasty surprises just as well as I can help you negotiate a major price drop.
You will NOT find a more honest, straightforward, unselfish, and transparent home inspection business anywhere.
So, if you take your next home seriously and want to work with real master home inspectors who know exactly how to find – and explain – the issues that matter MOST, contact us now.
Because the moral of the story? You get what you pay for.
Meet Your Home Inspector – Steve Rodriguez
Steve Rodriguez, CMI®
Award-Winning local Certified Master Inspector® Steve Rodriguez explains the Bulldog difference:
“There’s more to a home inspection than just checking for problems. It’s also about communicating those problems in a way YOU understand.
And not just today. Your home inspection report should be easy to understand for years to come.”
September’s Featured Home Inspection
This home in Raymore was right up our alley (literally).
And even though the buyers were purchasing the property as-is, they ordered the full home inspection + termite inspection + radon test + sewer scope inspection.
Unfortunately, the inspection uncovered some pretty serious structural movement that ended up being just as mysterious as it was significant.
When the dust settled, both the doubts and lack of information forced these buyers to walk away – but not until everyone learned a few things. Here are the photos from the inspection report:

Why Did This Customer Choose Bulldog?

1. What dId you think about our service?
2. Which services did you order?
3. Would you recommend us to others?
This is what he said…
