Obsidian Home Inspections

09/06/2026

Every home inspection covers the important stuff: the roof, foundation, electrical… and of course, monsters. 👀

At Obsidian Home Inspections, we check under the beds, inside the closets, and anywhere else something spooky might be hiding. Once the room passes inspection, the youngest members of the family get their own official Monster-Free door hanger.

Because buying a home is a big deal for the whole family, even the littlest ones.

No monsters found at the time of inspection. Sleep tight! 🏠

The market moves quickly this time of year, but that doesn’t mean skipping steps.

A home inspection gives you:

▪ A clear understanding of the property
▪ Insight into future maintenance
▪ Confidence in your decision

The more you understand upfront, the better your outcome after closing.

Pretty cool way to spend a Sunday. We got to help build another enclosure for the Michigan Amphibian & Reptile Sanctuary and support the amazing work they do.

Thanks for having us out and for all the care you give these animals.

If you're purchasing a home in Michigan, mention MARS when booking with Obsidian Home Inspections for 5% off your standard inspection, and we'll match that amount as a donation to MARS.

Happy First Day of Summer from Obsidian Home Inspections!

Here’s to longer days, warm evenings, lake weekends, backyard BBQs, and making the most of summer in Southwest Michigan.

Whether you’re settling into a new home, preparing to buy, or simply enjoying where you live, summer is one of the best times to appreciate everything a home brings to everyday life.

We hope your season is filled with sunshine, memories, and time spent with the people who matter most.

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy every minute of summer. ☀️

Walls and ceilings can reveal more than you think.

During an inspection, we’re looking for:

▪ Cracks or separation
▪ Staining from past leaks
▪ Uneven surfaces
▪ Signs of previous repairs

These details can point to underlying issues that aren’t immediately obvious.

Garages are often overlooked, but they’re part of the inspection too.

We’re evaluating:

▪ Garage door operation and safety sensors
▪ Structural condition
▪ Electrical outlets and lighting
▪ Signs of moisture or damage

Safety features, especially auto-reverse on doors, are important to verify.

06/16/2026

Most home inspections include a basic evaluation of major appliances.

We’re checking:

▪ General operation
▪ Visible condition
▪ Safety concerns
▪ Signs of wear or aging

It’s not a deep appliance inspection, but it helps identify obvious issues before closing.

Exterior doors are one of the most common areas for air and moisture intrusion.

We’re looking for:

▪ Proper sealing and weatherstripping
▪ Gaps allowing air or water in
▪ Frame condition and alignment
▪ Signs of wear from use and weather

Small gaps can lead to bigger issues over time.
