Terms of Service
Last updated October 12, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of this website at https://1strateinspections.com, operated by 1st Rate Inspections LLC. By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
These terms cover the website. The inspection itself is governed by the separate inspection agreement you sign before we carry out the work. Where the two differ about the inspection, the signed inspection agreement controls.
What this website is for
This website describes our inspection services, gives price estimates, lets you request an appointment or ask a question, and lets realtors request a continuing education class.
Price estimates shown on this site are estimates. The final price depends on the property, the services selected, and what we find when we schedule. We confirm the price with you before the inspection takes place.
Requesting an inspection
Submitting a form or opening the online scheduler is a request, not a confirmed booking. An appointment is confirmed when we confirm it with you directly. Scheduling is handled through a scheduler provided by Scope Inspect, and using it is subject to that provider's own terms.
The scope of an inspection, what is included and excluded, the report you receive, and any guarantee are set out in the inspection agreement you sign, together with the Texas Consumer Protection Notice published on this site.
SMS Terms and Conditions
By providing your mobile phone number, you consent to receive SMS messages from 1st Rate Inspections LLC related to scheduling your inspection, appointment reminders and confirmations, delivery of your inspection report, and replies to questions you send us. Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier. You may opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying with "STOP" to any SMS message you receive from us. After opting out, you will receive a confirmation message, and we will cease sending SMS messages to your number. If you need assistance or have questions about our SMS service, reply with "HELP" to any SMS message you receive, or contact our customer support team at (832) 567-5791 or clientcare@1strateinspections.com. Your phone number will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not share SMS opt-in consent with any third parties for solicitation purposes.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase. The checkbox on our forms is optional and is never ticked for you.

- Submit false information or someone else's contact details without their permission.
- Use the forms to send unsolicited advertising or any unlawful or abusive content.
