Your Slatington Home Deserves
an Inspector Who Actually
Cares.
Buying, selling, or just keeping your house in shape — Robert R. Richard Sr. brings decades of hands-on trade experience to every inspection in the Slatington area. No pressure, no jargon, just honest answers you can act on.
Comprehensive Inspections for Every Stage of Homeownership
Whether you're closing on your first home or just want peace of mind, I cover every system that matters — so you're never caught off guard.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
The biggest purchase of your life deserves a clear picture before you commit. I walk through every major system — roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC — and give you a report that tells the real story.
Seller Preparatory Inspections
Fix problems before the buyer finds them. A pre-listing inspection gives you the upper hand — address issues upfront, price with confidence, and keep the deal on track.
Radon & Environmental Testing
Radon, mold, and other hidden hazards don't announce themselves. I offer testing services so you know exactly what's in your air — and what to do about it.
Detailed Written Reports
Every inspection comes with a thorough written report — photos, findings, and clear recommendations. No vague language, no surprises. Just facts you can use.
New Construction Watch
Just built doesn't always mean built right. I inspect new builds to catch code gaps, rushed work, or missed details before the builder walks away.
Maintenance & Repair Consults
Not sure if that crack is cosmetic or structural? Want a second opinion on a contractor's estimate? I offer standalone consults to help Slatington homeowners make smart decisions.
A Neighbor Who Knows How Houses Work
I'm Robert R. Richard Sr., and I've spent my career working with homes — not just looking at them. Before inspections became my full-time focus, I spent years in hands-on trade work across the Lehigh Valley. That means I don't just spot problems; I understand how they happen, how serious they are, and what it actually takes to fix them right.
Based right here in Slatington, I treat every client the way I'd want to be treated: with patience, honesty, and a report that actually makes sense. No pressure to fix everything. No scare tactics. Just a clear, straightforward assessment of what your home needs — and what it doesn't.
- Years of hands-on construction & repair experience
- In-depth knowledge of local home styles & common issues
- Licensed, insured, and committed to continuing education
- Reports delivered promptly — usually within 24 hours

What Slatington Homeowners Are Saying
"Robert made the home-buying process so much less stressful. He was thorough, patient with all our questions, and the report was incredibly detailed. We felt confident going into our inspection contingency because we actually understood what we were looking at."
"I had never had a home inspected before selling, and Robert walked me through exactly why a pre-listing inspection was a smart move. He caught a few things I'd have missed, we fixed them before listing, and the sale went smoothly. Highly recommend."
"What I appreciated most was that Robert didn't try to scare me. He explained everything in plain language and told me what was urgent, what was cosmetic, and what was fine. That kind of honesty is hard to find. I'll be calling him for every property I look at from now on."
