About Inspection Plus

DOUGLAS E. WHITSON is the sole proprietor of Inspection Plus Inspections, bringing over 22 years of strong and diverse experience in the construction industry.

You need a professional you can trust

An inspection is the first step in gathering information for the buyer, marketing the property properly for the seller and reducing liability for the realty company. It is the first impression that can set the stage for the entire transaction.

"At Inspection Plus we promote the highest standards of professionalism for the company. I guarantee my work based on dedication and pride." That is what sets Inspection Plus apart from everybody else! Doug follows an old and traditional philosophy given to him from his grandfather, "it is better to do things for people out of your heart than your head."
