Licensed home inspector serving Queen Creek, Phoenix, and the East Valley. Over 14,000 home inspections completed with same-day digital reports and owner-inspected properties.
You've found a home you love. The last thing you want is to discover expensive problems after you close. If you're buying a home in Queen Creek, Phoenix, or the East Valley, the last thing you want is to discover expensive problems after closing. Not all home inspections are created equal.
Some inspectors rush through properties in 90 minutes, overwhelm you with alarmist reports full of minor issues, and disappear after handing over a generic PDF. Others work for private equity-backed companies where you're just another transaction in a high-volume system.
At Western States Home Inspections, we do things differently. Owner Andrew Jandura brings 20+ years of facility management experience—overseeing commercial distribution centers, coordinating complex building systems, and understanding how structures age and fail over time. This isn't just code compliance. It's real-world expertise in what actually matters now versus later.
We limit our daily inspections to ensure thoroughness. We provide context instead of panic. And we focus on educating you about your home—not just checking boxes to close a deal.
Inspection Folio · Volume I
Phase One
You book online or by phone. We confirm the property address, the property type, and which add-ons matter for this house: sewer scope, pool, solar, termite referral. You get a confirmation with the inspection time window, what to expect on site, and how the listing agent will coordinate access. You don't have to chase anyone.
Phase Two
Before we arrive, we review the listing, the property records, and the age of major systems. A 1978 house gets inspected differently than a 2019 build. We know what to look for before we step on site, which means more time finding the real issues and less time figuring out what era we're working in.
The Inspection Itself
Three to four hours on the property, top to bottom. Roof, exterior, foundation, attic, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, garage. Sewer scope runs the same day if you booked it. We run the camera ourselves, no third party. You're welcome on site for the final walkthrough so we can point at the things that matter and answer questions in plain English.
Phase Four
The report lands in your inbox the day of the inspection. Photos, descriptions of what we found, and which trade you'd call to address each item. No filler, no fearmongering, no padding the report to look thorough. What's urgent, what can wait, what's working as designed.
Phase Five
After the report, the questions start. Call us. We'll walk through any finding with you or your agent for as long as it takes. The job isn't over when the PDF sends. The job is over when you sign on the right house with your eyes open.
As a locally owned Queen Creek home inspection company, Western States Home Inspections has served the greater Phoenix metro area since 2005. Before founding Western States Home Inspections, Andrew Jandura spent 15 years in facility management for a major international food and beverage company. His role wasn't just maintenance, it was evaluating entire commercial distribution centers, identifying long-term risks, prioritizing repairs across HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems, and ensuring OSHA safety compliance.
That background taught Andrew to think holistically about buildings: not just what's broken today, but how systems age, fail, and affect safety and cost over time.
He started Western States because he saw too many rushed, checklist-driven inspections that didn't truly educate buyers. The industry was full of generic reports that overwhelmed clients without helping them understand what actually mattered. Andrew's mission was simple: clear communication, real-world context, and inspections that help people make confident decisions.
Over 14,000 inspections later, Andrew still personally inspects high-value properties, complex homes, and new construction projects—while also managing training, quality control, and operations for the Western States team. Andrew personally inspects homes throughout Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and surrounding Phoenix communities.

Andrew's 20+ years in facility management means he doesn't just check boxes—he understands how buildings age, fail, and affect long-term costs. Before home inspections, he managed commercial distribution centers, coordinated complex building systems, and trained teams on OSHA safety compliance.
This background means we catch what others miss—especially moisture management issues like minor drainage, grading, and early water intrusion that aren't catastrophic yet but become very expensive if ignored.

— The Western States Team
After our inspection, you'll know three things: what's wrong with the property, what it's going to cost you down the road, and whether you should still buy it. No sugarcoating, no scare tactics-just honest assessments that help you negotiate from a position of strength or protect yourself from a bad investment. That's the kind of clarity that actually matters when you're about to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Most inspectors treat every home the same: show up, run through a checklist, hand you a generic report, and move on. We don't work that way. We inspect your home like our own family is moving in-which means we're looking for the things that actually matter, not just documenting every minor cosmetic issue to pad the report. You get the truth about what's wrong, what can wait, and what you should negotiate for. Same-day delivery, annotated photos, and direct access to our team for follow-up questions. That's what thorough actually means.
We're not here to check boxes and move on to the next job. We take the time to walk you through every finding—from the small stuff you can ignore to the big issues that need attention-so you actually understand what you're dealing with. And we don't disappear after the inspection. You can call us a week later, a month later, whenever questions come up. That's the difference between a transaction and a relationship.
We've completed over 14,000 inspections since 2005. That's not a marketing number-it's pattern recognition. When you've seen how the same issues play out across thousands of homes, you develop an eye for what actually matters versus what's just cosmetic noise. You get the benefit of that experience in every report we deliver.
