SUPREME INSPECTIONS • HOMEBUYER GUIDE
Oklahoma Homebuyer Inspection Guide
A home inspection is not a warranty.
An inspection helps you understand the home's condition and the repairs or maintenance that deserve attention. It does not promise that a system will never fail after you move in.
Why an inspection warranty adds value
Protection Plus and Premier add a separate inspection warranty for eligible homes. It may reimburse eligible repair costs after inspection day, up to $3,000 in aggregate. That added protection serves a different purpose from the inspection itself.
Repairs already recommended in the inspection report are excluded. New and never occupied homes are not eligible. Coverage periods, limits and other terms apply. Call (405) 868-8376 for warranty details.
Use this guide to prepare for home tours, compare inspectors and prices, understand our services, and make your walkthrough more useful.
What to look for during a home tour
Use the tour to collect questions. One crack, odor or stain does not tell you the full story. Take notes and photos where permitted, then share your concerns with your inspector.
Water clues: Notice ceiling stains, swollen trim, musty odors, fresh patches and water around the foundation. Ask what happened and whether the cause was repaired.
Movement: Note uneven floors, doors that stick and noticeable cracks. Ask about prior evaluations or repairs instead of assuming a cause.
Roof and exterior: From the ground, look for damaged shingles, deteriorated trim and overflowing gutters. Ask for the roof age and repair records.
Heating and cooling: Ask the age of the equipment, recent service history and whether some rooms are difficult to heat or cool.
Plumbing and drainage: Look for visible leaks and water damage. Ask about recurring drain backups and whether sewer repairs have been made.
Termite clues: Mention mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings or prior treatment. Do not disturb suspected evidence before evaluation.
Cosmetic updates: New paint, flooring and fixtures can be attractive. Ask about the condition and repair history of the systems behind them.
Stay at ground level during tours. Leave roof access, attic and crawlspace entry, electrical covers and diagnostic testing to qualified professionals.
Questions worth asking before you book
What is my inspection deadline, and is there time for a specialist to follow up?
Are there records of leaks, foundation work, termite treatment, sewer repairs or insurance claims?
Which utilities will be on, and who will arrange access?
Does the property use a private well or septic system, or have another feature that needs a separate evaluation?
How to compare home inspectors
Verify credentials: Check the individual inspector’s current Oklahoma license and ask about experience with similar homes.
Read a sample report: Look for useful photos, clear explanations, priorities and practical next steps. Ask how questions and the walkthrough are handled.
Compare the actual scope: Ask whether termite inspection, sewer camera scope and infrared are included or priced separately.
Check the protection terms: An inspection warranty, termite activity warranty, home warranty and builder warranty are different benefits. Compare written limits and exclusions.
Choose clear communication: Ask about report delivery, availability for questions and service in English or Spanish. A professional explanation should help you understand what matters.
Verify an Oklahoma home inspector’s license through the Construction Industries Board.
Pricing tips: Compare the complete quote
Compare quotes for the same property, size and services. A low starting price may exclude services you still want. Ask for the complete total, including any agreed additional tests, laboratory work or travel charges.
For homes under 2,400 square feet, our current starting package prices are:
Essential: $650. Our complete inspection package.
Protection Plus: $749. Our complete inspection, with added protection after inspection day.
Premier: $999. Added protection, plus a closer look at indoor mold conditions.
All three residential packages include the same home inspection, termite inspection, sewer scope and infrared scan. Choose the added benefits that fit your purchase. Use the package page to select your home’s square footage. Homes over 6,000 square feet require a custom quote.
See current package prices and everything included.
If the report recommends a specialist or repairs, ask for a separate evaluation or written contractor estimate. Your inspection fee and possible repair costs are different parts of your buying budget.
A quick explanation of our inspection services
Home inspection
An evaluation of the home’s major systems and components, including the structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling. The report brings findings and recommendations together so you can ask informed questions.
Read the home inspection guide.
Termite inspection and termite activity warranty
The inspection looks for evidence of termite activity. The separate termite activity warranty provides eligible spot treatment for confirmed activity. Essential includes one year. Protection Plus and Premier include three years. It does not pay for termite damage repairs.
Read about termite inspections and termite activity protection.
Sewer camera scope
A camera provides a closer look at the main sewer line for conditions such as roots, damage, separated connections or debris. We recommend a scope for older homes and new construction.
Infrared scan
Thermal imaging shows temperature patterns that can help an inspector decide where to look more closely. It does not see through walls or diagnose every hidden problem by itself.
Read how infrared scans support the inspection.
Inspection warranty
This is separate protection after inspection day for eligible homes in Protection Plus and Premier. It may reimburse eligible repairs, subject to the $3,000 aggregate limit and program terms. Essential does not include the inspection warranty.
Read the inspection warranty explanation.
Exterior pest treatment
Essential includes one exterior general pest treatment. Protection Plus and Premier include three monthly exterior pest treatments total. Service begins after closing or moving in, within 20 miles of Oklahoma City, subject to terms and availability.
Read about the included exterior pest treatments.
Mold air sampling
Premier includes two indoor air samples, one outdoor comparison sample, laboratory analysis and a written report. Sampling adds information about the sampled locations and time. Call if you want to discuss sampling separately.
Read the mold air sampling guide.
New construction inspection
A newly built home can still have unfinished work, installation concerns or sewer debris. An independent inspection before closing gives you another opportunity to understand the property and ask your builder questions.
Read the new construction inspection guide.
11 Month Builder Warranty Inspection
Before your builder’s warranty deadline, an inspection can help document concerns for your discussion with the builder. Check your own agreement and schedule early enough to act. Builder coverage and obligations depend on that agreement.
Learn about the 11 Month Builder Warranty Inspection.
Commercial inspections
Commercial properties need a scope and quote that fit the building and intended inspection. Residential package prices do not apply. Call our team to discuss your property.
Read about commercial inspections.
Private wells, septic systems and other property needs
Tell us about these systems before booking. We can discuss well components, a general septic evaluation and water sampling options, along with the scope and current quote for your property. Confirm the laboratory tests you need rather than assuming every water test is the same.
Make inspection day useful
Arrange access: Work with your agent and the seller to confirm utilities, entry and access to the areas being inspected.
Bring your tour notes: Share questions, seller repair records and anything you noticed during showings.
Use the walkthrough: Ask what matters most, what needs a specialist and what routine care you should plan. We can explain in English or Spanish.
Read your report by priority
Read the complete report, not only the summary. Separate safety concerns, major defects and active water problems from ordinary maintenance. Ask what should be evaluated further before your deadline. A long report is not automatically a reason to panic, and a short report is not a guarantee of future performance.
Your inspector explains conditions. A qualified contractor can evaluate repair scope and cost. Your agent can help you consider your options under your contract.
After closing
Keep your inspection report, repair records and warranty information together. Address the report’s recommendations and arrange your included pest service after closing or moving in. Ask our team about coverage details before relying on a benefit.
Buying a new or never occupied home? The inspection warranty is not available for that home. The inspection and a later builder warranty review still serve useful, separate purposes.

Supreme Inspections Oklahoma • Updated October 28, 2026
Inspection details: An inspection is a visual, noninvasive evaluation of safely accessible systems and components on inspection day. It is not technically exhaustive, a code compliance certification, or a guarantee against future failure. Access, utilities, weather and property conditions affect what can be evaluated. Sewer scope and infrared have their own limitations. Mold air samples do not evaluate every area, establish a health diagnosis or guarantee a mold-free home. Warranty eligibility, coverage periods, reimbursement limits, exclusions and service terms apply. Report-recommended repairs and new or never occupied homes are excluded from the inspection warranty. Termite activity protection does not cover damage repairs. Tour tips do not replace a professional inspection. Call for details.
