Champion Home Inspection LLC provides the highest quality home inspection service in Evansville, Newburgh, Booneville, Chandler, Dayville, Yankeetown and surrounding counties. Your home will be evaluated for physical condition including the construction, structure and the components of the home. Our trained inspectors will look at roofing, interiors, exteriors, structural components, electrical system, plumbing system, and more. Have a seasoned and licensed home inspector give you peace of mind.

Choosing the right home inspection company can be difficult. Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won’t meet your inspector until your inspection appointment–after you’ve hired us. Furthermore, different inspection companies have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. One thing that’s certain is that a home inspection requires a lot of work. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s effort. If you honor us by permitting us to inspect your new home, we guarantee that we will give you our very best effort.

A thorough inspection of a house is extremely important before you finalize the sale of your new home. At Champion Home Inspection LLC our certified home inspectors take home inspections seriously! We are also certified through the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, (InterNashi) as well as Certified, Insured, and Licensed in Indiana so you can trust that you’re getting the most thorough and accurate assessment possible.

We Stand Behind Our Inspections:
When we conduct your inspection, you’ll enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that we GUARANTEE your satisfaction. If, for any reason, you’re not 100% satisfied with the quality of our service, just tell the inspector before you receive your report. We’ll either make it right or you will not be charged for the inspection.

Champion Home Inspection LLC is owned and operated by Inspector Stephen Rager, who is a US Army Iraq War Veteran and has gone from serving our country to serving our community! Stephen will be your home buying or selling advocate! We are committed to providing you with outstanding service as we’re highly experienced and extremely thorough. If you’re looking to buy or sell in the Indiana area, we can help!
