Why I Love the Questions People Are Embarrassed to Ask

Staying current matters. Jeff just completed his FAA Part 107 recurrent training (ALC-677) — the every-24-months requirement for commercial drone pilots.

Why it matters for you: when a roof is too steep, too high, or too fragile to walk safely, we put a drone up instead of guessing. You get real photos of your ridge caps, flashing, and valleys in the report — not a shrug and a "not accessible" note.

Honest inspections. Clear reports. No surprises.

A big thank-you to the real estate agents in the Piney Woods community who have trusted us with their clients.

When you refer Cardinal Home Inspections, you know exactly who is showing up. Jeff Stalnaker — the name on the license, the name on the report, and the person who answers the phone when your client has questions after the inspection.

That kind of accountability is not common. We think it should be standard.

We serve Tyler and the surrounding East Texas communities. If you have a client who needs an inspection and you want someone you can count on, give us a call.

A closer look can make all the difference. ☀️

Solar panels may look fine from the ground, but an inspection helps uncover what’s really happening with your system.

Know your solar. Know your home. 🏠

Cardinal will spot the difference, call us to schedule your next solar inspection.

Buying a home with a pool in East Texas? Make sure your home inspector actually knows pools.

Most general home inspectors do a basic visual — check if it holds water, look at the equipment, move on. That is not enough.

Jeff spent more than 30 years in the pool and spa industry before becoming a licensed home inspector. He knows what a failing pump sounds like. He knows what corrosion on a heater means. He knows how to evaluate a salt system, a pressure-side cleaner, and aging plaster. These items could cost thousands to replace.

A thorough pool inspection from Cardinal Home Inspections includes the pump, motor, filter, heater, plumbing lines, safety features, and the shell condition to name a few. Add it to your home inspection before you close — not after.
