Leading Home Inspector Kansas City KS. since 2003
Kansas City, KS. is a progressive city making big moves.
Kansas City, KS. started in 1872 after KCMO was already created, established, and growing.
The leaders may have thought they had more right to it since they actually lived in Kansas (even though Missouri took the ‘Kansas’ in Kansas City from the Kansas river, which took it from Kansa Indians), but the record books say the leaders took the name ‘Kansas City’ hoping to see growth like Missouri was having.
Both cities are still separate today, but together they make up the Kansas City metro area.
But don’t go thinking KCMO has much on Kansas City, KS.
Today Kansas City, KS. hosts NASCAR racing at the Kansas Speedway and major league soccer with Sporting KC.
It also has the Great Wolf Lodge (North America’s largest indoor water park), shopping at Nebraska Furniture Mart, Cabela’s hunting and fishing superstore, and Legends Outlet stores, great schools, great neighborhoods, wide open spaces, golf courses, exceptional cultural diversity and all the great food that comes along with it.
Not to mention, Kansas City, KS. has great highway access with I-70, K-7, I-29, and I-35, is only 35 min. to the University of Kansas, and is packed full of historic and established neighborhoods that help KCK enjoy the same growth as the rest of the metro.
But wipe that drool off your chin before you start picking paint colors because it’s still too early to change the locks and have a piñata party.
Your new Kansas City, KS. home first needs to go through an in-depth look by one of its most trusted building inspectors to make sure it doesn’t end up making you want to cry yourself to sleep.
10 Reasons Kansas City KS. Homebuyers And Real Estate Investors Have Made Bulldog Professional Inspection Services Their Leading Home Inspector.
#1 We were voted Kansas City’s Best Home Inspector in 2025.
When it’s time to buy a house, you want to feel sure you’re making the right call—and that’s precisely why we’re here.
At Bulldog Professional Inspection Services, you’re not just getting any inspector—you’re working directly with the owner. Steve Rodriguez is a Certified Master Inspector® with more than 15,000 inspections since 2003, so you can bet that very little escapes his attention when he steps into your potential home.
In fact, we’ve been named Kansas City’s Best Home Inspector since 2022, and with good reason. Realtors, homeowners, and investors all trust us because we inspect more than 2,000 critical points in every home we check—from the foundation to the attic, even the sneaky spots behind walls where problems love to hide.

#2 We remove the cover from the main electrical panel.
Home inspectors are not required to remove the cover to the main electrical panel.
But few things get tampered with more often than this piece of electrical gear.
Double-tapped breakers, missing grounds, loose breakers, rust, and poor wiring are just a few of the things that can go wrong inside a main electrical panel.
We’ll always remove the cover if we can get to it and it’s safe.
#3 We check 100% of the items we can see, touch, and test.
This may come as a surprise, but professional home inspectors are NOT required to inspect all the items in a home.
In fact, they only have to check a representative number of items in the average-sized home, which usually comes to roughly 400 items.
But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services checks 100% of the items we can see, touch, and test during a house inspection.
This comes to about 2000 items and includes every outlet, switch, door, window, floor, wall, ceiling, tub, shower, faucet, toilet – and everything from the roof ridge to the sump pump.
But being hands-on also means we know HOW to check the things in your home that break, crack, click, buzz, arc, and leak because turning them on and off sometimes isn’t enough. Sometimes, the order of things reveals problems that less experienced house inspectors would have missed.
We do this to give you a complete understanding of what’s working and what’s not. Unlike some inspections that skim over areas, our goal is to provide you with the information to make educated decisions about your home.
So, whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your Raymore home, you’ll get a house inspection that prioritizes depth, accuracy, and clarity.

REAL CUSTOMER REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“…a very detailed write-up of the inspection”
“I was very, very impressed with your professionalism. You did a thorough job and provided a very detailed write-up of the inspection for us to keep. I would highly recommend Steven Rodriguez to anyone wanting a quality home inspection.” – J. Summers, Kansas City, KS.
#6 We are Kansas City’s only top 25-Under-25 home inspection company.
In 2019, Bulldog Professional Inspection Services was selected from a group of over 2,000 local businesses to become Kansas City’s first and only Top 25-Under-25 home inspection company.
This honor recognizes 25 small businesses with fewer than 25 employees who show strength, resilience, responsibility, and community commitment.
But being named one of Kansas City’s top small businesses isn’t just about numbers – it’s about building trust and delivering dependable house inspections day in and day out for years and years.
What does this mean for you as a Raymore home buyer or home seller?
It means we’ve been vetted and pre-approved based on our service, integrity, commitment, and expertise. And if the city trusts us, maybe you can, too.
#7 We walk on the roof*.
Did you know home inspectors are not required to walk on roofs?
It’s true. And many don’t.
But we do (as long as it’s safe) because there’s no better way to inspect the shingles, roof deck, flashings, vents, and chimneys.
When you choose use to do your house inspection in [Blue Springs], you’re not getting a basic inspection. You’re getting a Certified Master Inspector™ who has inspected thousands of roofs and knows what it takes to uncover the biggest issues and answer the most burning questions you (and your homeowner’s insurance company) want answers to – like “How’s the roof.”
*if it’s accessible and safe.
#8 We run water the entire inspection when a home is vacant.
No system inside your home is more insidious than the plumbing system.
In fact, more than $15.5 billion dollars are spent each year on plumbing leaks, moisture damage, and the health hazards it creates.
This makes the plumbing the most important system in a home.
Most inexperienced home inspectors will treat it casually like any other area. Still, we’ve been around long enough to witness the crazy and devastating things that come with taking this system for granted. Regardless if it’s occupied or vacant.
Like the time the pipes burst in the basement of an occupied home during the winter when the heating system was working and the thermostat was set to 65 degrees.
Some would say no way, but we know better.
That’s why we run water through the drains for the entire inspection.
Because plumbing leaks only sometimes show up right away. Sometimes, it’s a slow leak under a sink, and other times it’s inside a wall.
But running the water carefully for 2-3 hours almost guarantees we’ll find it if there’s a leak.
And why we don’t want to do a home inspection when the water is shut off to the home.
#9 We’ll follow-up after the inspection.
Because we want everything to go smoothly.
We check to ensure you received the report without any issues and also fully understand it. If you have any questions—we’re here to help.
Buying a home can feel overwhelming, and last-minute concerns can arise. That’s why we check-in, so you don’t feel stuck or unsure about the next steps.
We’ll walk you through anything necessary to ensure your confidence moving forward. Your peace of mind is vital to us, and we’re always just a call or message away.
#10 If the house is not ready when we arrive, there is no fee to reschedule.
30% of vacant homes we inspect are not ready on inspection day.
This number jumps to 50% if the home is rehabbed and they promise to have it ready by a certain date.
But we know it’s not your fault so whether it’s caused by missing appliances, burst pipes, loose dogs, no utilities, or we’re locked out, if the home ends up not being ready after we arrive, the first trip is free.
Instead, we’ll work with you to find a better time, so when your home is finally ready, we will be too.

In Kansas City KS., subterranean termites are common, feeding on wood in and around houses. A termite inspection detects signs of these insects, notifying you if treatment is required. Routine home inspections are essential to avoid costly damage and repairs.

Radon gas, an invisible and scentless radioactive substance, can increase lung cancer risk after long-term exposure.
