Hi, I’m Dave Carver –
Your Local Licensed & Certified Home Inspector

When you choose Vigilant Home Inspections, you’re not hiring a big company or a rotating team of inspectors—you’re hiring me. I personally handle every inspection from start to finish, ensuring your home gets the thorough, detailed attention it deserves.

With more than 5 years of experience, having gained my State License and InterNACHI® certification, I’ve built a reputation for precision, honesty, and reliability. My approach is simple: I schedule only one inspection per day, dedicating my full focus to your property and delivering a clear, interactive report within 24 hours.

Decades of experience, with an unwavering eye for detail.
From Superb Sound to Superb Inspections

Before becoming a Certified Professional Inspector, I spent 27 years in the television and film industry as a professional soundman—where precision and attention to detail weren’t optional, they were everything. That same meticulous approach now drives every inspection I perform, ensuring you receive a thorough, reliable report within 24 hours.

My Inspection Philosophy
Focused, Thorough, and Never Rushed

Unlike companies that rush through multiple inspections in a day, I believe quality beats quantity. By limiting my schedule to one home per day:

 
  • I can spend as much time as needed on your inspection—no shortcuts.
  • I’m available to walk you through findings on-site, answering your questions in detail.
  • I deliver thorough reports within 24 hours, so you can make fast, confident decisions.
  • This focused approach is what sets Vigilant Home Inspections apart.
