Meet PaulFrom the foundation to the roof and every system in between — we evaluate it all using the latest tools and techniques.
Comprehensive evaluation of structure, foundation, lot grading, drainage, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, built-in kitchen fixtures, and all major and minor components — delivered in a clear, detailed Spectora report.
Learn More →Advanced infrared technology reveals hidden problems invisible to the naked eye — missing insulation, moisture intrusion, overheating electrical components, and energy loss throughout the property.
Learn More →Aerial drone technology safely inspects steep, tall, or hard-to-access roofs and structures. High-resolution photo and video documentation captures every detail without putting anyone at risk.
Learn More →Get ahead of buyer concerns. A pre-listing inspection identifies issues before your home hits the market, giving you time to address them on your terms and avoid surprises during negotiation.
Learn More →Independent verification that your new build meets quality standards. Pre-drywall and final walk-through inspections catch issues before closing — when the builder is still on the hook to fix them.
Learn More →Most builder warranties expire after one year. An 11-month warranty inspection identifies defects covered under your builder's warranty before the deadline — potentially saving thousands in repairs.

Infrared camera technology reveals what the eye can't see — moisture behind walls, missing insulation, overheating electrical connections, and air leakage. The kind of findings that protect your investment for years to come.
Aerial drone technology safely inspects roofs, chimneys, gutters, and high-elevation structures without ladders or risk. High-resolution imagery captures every shingle, flashing detail, and structural element.
Palm Home Inspection is proudly first responder owned, and we offer a discount to fellow first responders and military veterans. It's our way of honoring those who serve our communities and our country.
When you hire Palm Home Inspection, you're working with an inspector whose background is built on service. Paul Robinson is a first responder by trade — and he brings that same methodical, detail-focused approach to every property he inspects. Nothing gets rushed. Nothing gets glossed over.
Paul invests in the latest inspection technology so his clients get more than the basics. Thermal imaging cameras reveal moisture intrusion and electrical issues hidden behind walls. Drone aerial inspection captures roof and structural detail that traditional inspectors physically can't reach. Every report is delivered through Spectora — the same modern reporting platform top-tier inspectors use nationwide — so your findings are clear, photo-rich, and easy to share with your real estate team.
"Paul was thorough, professional, and walked us through every finding in plain language. The thermal imaging caught insulation gaps that would have cost us a fortune in energy bills. As first-time homebuyers, we felt completely informed going into closing."
"Best inspector I've worked with. Paul is on time, professional, and the Spectora reports are detailed without being alarmist. The drone footage of the roof gave my buyers complete confidence. I refer all my clients to Palm Home Inspection."
"As a fellow veteran, I appreciate that Paul honors first responders and military with a discount — but the real value was the inspection itself. He caught issues two other inspectors had missed. Worth every penny."

Yes. Paul Robinson is a South Carolina Licensed Home Inspector (License #49777). Licensing ensures inspectors meet state standards for training, ethics, and ongoing education — and gives homebuyers a level of accountability they can rely on.
Thermal imaging uses infrared cameras to detect temperature variations that reveal hidden problems — missing or compromised insulation, moisture intrusion behind walls, overheating electrical components, air leakage around windows and doors, and HVAC issues. It's a non-invasive way to find problems that wouldn't show up in a traditional visual inspection.
Drone inspection is safer and often more thorough than traditional roof inspection. Steep roofs, tall structures, and hard-to-access areas can be evaluated up close without ladders or risk. The high-resolution photo and video documentation also gives you a permanent record of the roof's condition at the time of inspection.
Most home inspections take 2 to 3.5 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Paul takes the time to do the job right and is happy to walk the home with you to answer questions and explain findings in plain language as he goes.
Yes. Palm Home Inspection is proudly first responder owned, and we offer a discount to fellow first responders (police, fire, EMS) and military veterans. Just mention your service when you book.
