Vaughn Home Inspection is based in Pendleton. Our office is here, we live and work here, and Pendleton sits at the center of everything we cover across Anderson County and the wider Upstate.
Whether you are buying a house on one of the older streets near the village green, selling a place out toward Lake Hartwell, or having a new build checked, you get a thorough inspection of the major systems and a clear, photo-supported written report.
A hometown inspection, from the historic district to the lake
Pendleton has one of the largest historic districts in the state, and homes of that age reward a careful look at original roofing, wiring, plumbing, and heating along with whatever work has been done to them over the decades. We report what is present and visible, plainly.
Outside the village, Anderson County properties around Pendleton run from rural acreage with outbuildings to newer construction and homes near Lake Hartwell. Detached garages, shops, and barns can be added to any inspection.
Radon occurs naturally in this part of the Upstate, so radon testing is available as an add-on.
Inspection services
Buyer’s Home Inspection
If you are buying a home, you need a home inspection. An inspection can uncover defects that may not be obvious or visible.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Selling your home can be stressful. Don’t be surprised during your buyer’s home inspection.
Detached Building Inspections
Add a detached building to your inspection so you know the full condition of the property.
Radon Testing
Radon is a radioactive gas that is naturally occurring in our area and cannot be detected by human senses.
Construction Inspection
Prior to drywall being installed, have the components of the home inspected to prevent future issues or delays.
Re-Inspections
Have us re-inspect repairs prior to closing to ensure issues identified in your report have been properly addressed.

Common questions about inspections in Pendleton
Are you actually based in Pendleton?
Yes. Our office is at 161 Jim Smith Road in Pendleton, and Anderson County is our home market. Scheduling in and around Pendleton is usually straightforward because it is where we already are.
Can you inspect an older home in the Pendleton historic district?
Yes. Older homes are a regular part of the work here. We inspect the readily accessible, visually observable systems under the ASHI Standard of Practice and report what we find, including conditions created by earlier repairs or additions.
Can you add the detached garage, shop, or barn to the inspection?
Yes. A detached building inspection covers the same components we inspect on the house, and it can be bundled with a home inspection or scheduled on its own.
Is radon testing available on a Pendleton home?
Yes. We test using 48-hour electronic monitoring, with weekend monitoring, retesting, and long-term testing available.
