Services Offered by Covington Inspections
A Full Inspection provides the buyer an overview of the condition of the building or home, identifies weaknesses, and identifies items which may fail or are in need of immediate repair. While this inspection is thorough, it is not a warrantee and does not guarantee whether or not hidden or additional problems will surface or will not surface later. This inspection is very detailed and provides the homeowner a very detailed snapshot of the home’s condition.

Oklahoma License #497I do work with a Termite inspector and can arrange for him to be at the inspection. I can include his fees in my invoice for your convenience and show them on the report. I am below the pricing of other inspectors because I want you the buyer to know that I am working for you. You may call me, Charles or "Mike" Covington, at 918-857-4114. I am a retired Carpentry teacher and just want to help. Thanks for considering my services!
