Meet Tim Hardesty
Every Hardesty inspection is a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the home — covering structure, systems, and safety from the roof to the foundation. No specialties, no upsells, no add-ons. Just a thorough, honest inspection done right.
A comprehensive evaluation of the entire home — structure, systems, and safety — delivered with the accuracy and detail that comes from 18,000+ inspections of experience.

Learn More →Detailed evaluation of the foundation, supporting elements, framing, and signs of settling, movement, or structural concern across Oklahoma's expansive clay soils.
Learn More →Service panel, wiring, outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, and grounding — evaluated for safety, capacity, and code compliance throughout the home.
Learn More →Supply lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, and visible piping — inspected for leaks, pressure, condition, and proper function.

Learn More →Tim Hardesty has built his reputation on one thing: experience that protects his clients. With more than 18,000 inspections completed over 21+ years in Oklahoma, Tim has seen what homes hide — what new buyers miss, what builders sometimes overlook, and what Oklahoma's hailstorms, expansive soils, and severe weather can do to a property.
Tim holds Oklahoma Home Inspector License #517 — making him one of the earliest licensed home inspectors in the state, dating to the beginning of Oklahoma's licensing program. Combined with his Certified Master Inspector (CMI) designation (held by only the top tier of inspectors nationwide) and his InterNACHI Certified credential, Tim brings a level of credentialing few inspectors in Oklahoma can match.
"Tim was thorough, professional, and took the time to walk me through every single finding. You can tell he's done this for a long time — he catches things younger inspectors would have missed entirely. Highly recommend Hardesty."
"After 18,000 inspections, Tim has clearly seen everything. He found foundation issues another inspector had completely missed and saved us from a bad purchase. Worth every penny. Will use him again on our next home."
"First-time home buyer and Tim made me feel completely informed instead of overwhelmed. He explained the report in plain English and answered every question I had. I can see why he's been doing this for 21+ years."
A typical home inspection takes between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Tim takes the time needed to do it right — rushing an inspection defeats the entire purpose of having one done.
Every general home inspection evaluates all interior and exterior components and systems — including the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, ventilation, insulation, attic, crawlspace or basement, and the visible exterior. A detailed written report with photos documents everything Tim finds.
