Learn More →Tim Lawson founded Advanced Home and Property Inspection in 2018, serving home buyers, sellers, and investors across upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Licensed in both Tennessee and Virginia, Tim brings a deep, hands-on background to every inspection — with years as a contractor and as a residential electrician giving him a practical understanding of how homes are built and where problems hide.
Every inspection is delivered with the same standard: a thorough, honest evaluation with detailed photos, provided in both hard copy and electronic format. Tim takes the time to review the full report with you and answer every question, so you understand the home before you make your decision.
"I spoke with Tim when I called. He set an appointment for me right away as we were looking to close on our house. He was very professional and affordable. He went over the full report with us and addressed our concerns. Very helpful — even told us other service companies he would recommend for work we wanted done. Highly recommend for a job well done that puts you at ease."
"Excellent service! Tim is very knowledgeable and professional. I hired him to do a home inspection in Johnson City. He was responsive, worked around my schedule, and did exactly what he said he would do. Tim took the time to review the inspection report and included photos with me and answered all my questions. Received a hard copy and electronic version of the report. I highly recommend!"
"Very fast scheduling, very thorough inspection, and very fast report. Tim is a super nice guy and very accommodating. Didn't miss anything and documented the entire inspection with tons of photos and clear descriptions. Would definitely recommend!"
Answers to the questions area buyers, sellers, and investors ask us most.
An Advanced Home and Property inspection evaluates all the major interior and exterior components and systems of the home — including the roof, foundation, structure, heating, cooling, ventilation, insulation, plumbing, electrical, and the lot. Tim documents what he finds with photos and explains it in plain language, so you understand the condition of the home and the priority of any issues before you make your decision.
Yes. Radon and mold are among our specialties. Radon is a serious, invisible health risk that's common across the Tennessee Valley, and hidden mold can damage both a home and your health. We test and inspect for both so you know exactly what you're dealing with — and what to address — before you move in.
Infrared thermal imaging lets us see temperature differences that reveal problems hidden behind walls and ceilings — moisture intrusion, missing or failed insulation, and electrical hot spots. It's a powerful, non-invasive tool that helps catch issues a standard visual inspection alone might miss.
Yes. For steep, high, or hard-to-reach roofs, aerial drone inspection is a safe and thorough way to evaluate roofing and upper exterior areas up close — without the risk and limitations of climbing every roof. It's one more way we make sure nothing gets overlooked.
Fast. Advanced Home and Property Inspection is known for quick turnaround — a thorough inspection followed by a fast, detailed report with plenty of photos and clear descriptions. You'll receive both a hard copy and an electronic version so you have everything you need when decisions and deadlines are on the line.
