Fast-growing Katy means lots of new construction and move-up homes. Romeo helps buyers and agents get clear findings before the option period runs out.
Katy’s boom has brought master-planned communities, energy-efficient builds, and a steady stream of relocating families. Whether you’re buying a recently completed home or an established property nearer old Katy, a licensed inspection documents what’s really there — warranty or not.
Romeo Montalvo, TREC Professional Inspector #25424-PI, serves Katy and the Energy Corridor edge from his Spring base. Book online or call Romeo.

Why Katy homes still need careful inspection
New construction can hide punch-list items: incomplete grading, attic issues, HVAC commissioning problems, or exterior moisture details. Slightly older Katy homes may show roof wear, foundation movement typical of regional soils, or deferred maintenance that affects negotiation.

Katy deals move quickly. Romeo’s plain-language reports — often same day or within 24 hours — help you and your agent act with confidence. Referring REALTORs are included in BPG’s E&O coverage on inspections Romeo performs through BPG.

Katy sits on flat, clay-heavy prairie land, so water does not always move away from the house on its own. Romeo checks grading, gutters, downspouts, and irrigation spray near the slab, because moisture swings near a foundation can contribute to movement.
Many Katy backyards have pools. A pool and spa inspection is outside a standard home inspection scope. Romeo is InterNACHI certified for pool and spa and can review equipment, safety features, and visible structure during the same visit.
HOAs set exterior and community rules. They do not inspect the inside of your home, its systems, or its roof for you. Your inspection covers the house itself within a standard scope.
He does not negotiate for you, but his plain-language report with photos makes it easier for you and your agent to write specific repair requests or ask for credits during the option period.
Many Katy owners schedule one before the first-year builder warranty ends. A documented list of findings with photos makes it easier to ask the builder for repairs while coverage still applies.
They are most useful in older Katy neighborhoods, homes with large trees, or when sellers disclose plumbing problems. Newer homes usually need it less, but ask Romeo if you are unsure.
