Licensed by TREC and TDA: What That Means for Your Inspection

Not all inspectors are licensed equally. At The Home Inspectors, every inspector is licensed by both the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). That dual licensing gives clients more protection, more value, and more confidence in every inspection.
 

What TREC Licensing Covers

 
TREC licenses inspectors to evaluate the home itself, including its structure, systems, and components. Each inspection follows the TREC Standards of Practice, which outline how every aspect of the home should be assessed. These standards ensure consistency, professionalism, and a thorough understanding of the property’s condition.
 

What TDA Licensing Covers

 
The Texas Department of Agriculture licenses inspectors to perform Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspections. This license allows our team to check for termites and other wood-boring insects using official state procedures. It is an important part of understanding a home’s health, especially in Texas, where termite activity is common.
 

Why Dual Licensing Matters

 
Many inspectors only carry TREC licensing, which means clients may have to hire a separate company for a termite inspection. Because The Home Inspectors is licensed by both TREC and TDA, we can perform both the Home Inspection and the WDI inspection, saving clients time and money while providing a complete picture of the property.

Even better, we include the termite inspection with every full home inspection at no additional cost! You can read more about how this free service benefits clients in our post, Texas Termites: How Our Free Wood Destroying Insect Report Saves You Money
 

What It Means for Buyers, Sellers, and Realtors

 
Buyers: Our home inspections give you valuable insight into the overall condition of the home and identify any concerns related to wood destroying insects.
Sellers: Show potential buyers that your home is move-in ready and free of wood-destroying insect concerns.
Realtors: Streamline the inspection process with fewer vendors, faster scheduling, and one trusted company handling both reports.
 

The Value You Will Not Find Everywhere

 
When you hire The Home Inspectors, you are choosing licensed professionals across the board. Each Home Inspection adheres to the TREC Standards of Practice, and each WDI inspection is performed according to the official inspection procedures of the TDA. Together, those licenses ensure that every client receives a detailed inspection they can feel confident about.

That is value you can count on, and it is included with every inspection.
