Home Inspection in Lakewood, Ohio
Licensed, InterNACHI-certified home inspections for Lakewood home buyers, sellers, and homeowners.
Your Lakewood Home Inspector
Lakewood is one of the most walkable cities in Northeast Ohio, with dense neighborhoods of early 1900s homes, many of them two-family doubles, along with apartments and condos near Lake Erie. Lock Home Inspections helps Lakewood buyers and investors understand exactly what they’re buying.
We serve Lakewood and the surrounding Cuyahoga County communities with buyer’s inspections, pre-listing inspections, new construction inspections, radon testing, mold testing, and more. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and you’re always welcome to attend your inspection.
What We Look for in Lakewood Homes
Many Lakewood homes are over 100 years old, so we look closely at knob-and-tube wiring, older electrical panels, galvanized and cast iron plumbing, chimneys, foundations, and basement moisture. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. For doubles, we inspect each unit’s systems separately.
After your inspection, you’ll receive an easy-to-read Spectora report the same day, with photos of every item we discussed, so you and your agent can move forward with confidence.
