Adams Home Inspection

What Adams Home Inspection does

Adams Home Inspection (AHI), founded in 1994 in the Kansas City metro area and rebranded under current ownership in 2011, is a residential home inspection service firm operating with a total staff of 8 employees. The company is owned by senior inspector Randy Adams, who purchased the predecessor Newcomer's Inspection Services in 2003 and completed a two-year apprenticeship under founder Jim Naylor; Andrew Adams joined as inspector in 2014 after U.S. Marine Corps service, and Stacy Hood serves as scheduler and marketing coordinator. The firm provides whole-house visual inspections covering roofing, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, and attic systems, with optional modular add-ons for termite inspection ($80-$100) and radon testing ($140-$160).

The core deliverable is a Property Inspection Report compiled via a specialized mobile inspection app and delivered by email the next morning. Every inspection includes a RecallChek data integration that flags recalled appliances and HVAC equipment. Pricing is unit-based with square-footage tiers ranging from $315 (under 1,000 sq ft) to $730 (over 9,000 sq ft), and the company accepts cash, check, PayPal, and major credit cards.

AHI is a sales-led, transaction-based business. Customers schedule via phone or a website contact form, and demand is driven by residential real estate activity across Kansas City, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Independence, Gladstone, Lenexa, Olathe, Overland Park, and Grain Valley. Customer mix is split between home buyers (primary) and home sellers (secondary), with realtor referrals functioning as the principal mid-funnel channel and a multi-channel web presence (blog, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) supporting top-of-funnel awareness.
