Home Inspection in Shaker Heights, Ohio
Licensed, InterNACHI-certified home inspections for Shaker Heights home buyers, sellers, and homeowners.
Your Shaker Heights Home Inspector
Shaker Heights is one of the region’s best-known historic suburbs, with large early 20th-century colonials, Tudors, and two-family homes on carefully planned streets. Lock Home Inspections helps Shaker Heights buyers understand the condition of these older, often larger homes.
We serve Shaker Heights 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 Shaker Heights Homes
Historic Shaker Heights homes may feature slate or tile roofs, plaster walls, older boilers and radiators, knob-and-tube or outdated wiring, and aging plumbing and sewer lines. We take the time to inspect these homes methodically and explain what to expect in maintenance and repairs.
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.
