What is a home inspection?
Think of a home inspection like an annual check-up at with your doctor. Home inspections are used to ensure that everything is working correctly in your home - from your sinks and appliances to your windows and roof. A great home inspection will help shine a light on concerning issues located inside and outside your home, which may affect your quality of life.
Home inspections are also helpful for spotting potential risks that may cause concern down the line. When we send you your home inspection report, you will have a much better idea of any problems that are present in your home. Included in your report are recommended repairs and suggestions on what actions to take as your home ages.
Because different circumstances require different types of home inspections, we offer several choices to cater to your needs:
General Home Inspections in Daniel Island
You've heard it before - "A man's house is his castle." It is a place of peace, relaxation, and privacy. However, the steps leading up to your new purchase can be exhausting, expensive, and stressful. After all, when you buy a home, you're investing in your family's future. That is why I believe that having an unbiased general home inspection (or buyer's inspection) is an investment all on its own.
Our goal is to keep you informed and aware of all the components in your new home. In fact, I encourage you to be present and ask questions during your inspection. That way, you can walk into your closing with confidence, knowing you are making an informed purchasing decision. When you hire PGR for your general home inspection, know that I am here for YOU. We will spend as much time as needed to explain our findings and answer any questions that you may have about your buyer's home inspection in Daniel Island, SC.
After I have inspected your home from bottom to top, you will receive your report that includes high-quality color photos depicting our findings the same day. Should you have questions relating to your report, simply give me a call after thoroughly reviewing it. At PGR Home Inspections, I strive to make this an enjoyable, informative experience that expands your knowledge and helps you understand building science.
Our general home inspections include:
- Unbiased top-to-bottom home evaluation, including hard-to-reach areas like crawlspaces and attics.
- Confirmation that all your utilities are in working order, like gas, electrical, and water.
- Verification that your crawlspace is accessible, and all livable areas may be accessed. This includes your electrical panel, water heater, HVAC system, and attic hatch.
- Reports delivered same day that detail any issues within your house and its systems or components.
- Free thermal imaging
- On-site wrap-up with plenty of time to answer your questions
Pre-Listing Home Inspections in Daniel Island, SC
When you're selling your home, few things are as frustrating as a deal falling through due to maintenance issues. All too often, deals fall through because the buyer's inspector finds a significant issue that could have corrected earlier. Having a pre-listing inspection (or a seller's inspection) puts the control back in your hands. With a pre-listing inspection, you can get prepared for your sale by revealing any major defects in your home that need repairing. Having a pre-listing inspection saves you money, time, and reduces your overall stress levels in the long run.
By completing a pre-listing inspection, you can take as much time as you need to decide which repairs will increase your home's value the most. That way, you get the highest return on investment. By making these repairs on your own time, you can sift through several repair estimates and choose the one makes the most sense for your budget.
As you enter negotiations, you may present your pre-listing inspection as a token of good faith to interested buyers. Sharing your seller's inspection with potential buyers lets them get a look at the condition of your home. More importantly, it will let the buyer know how much money and work you have put into fixing your home's defects, which helps warrant your listing price.
If you want to reduce the time it takes for negotiations, save yourself money, and get the best price for your home, a pre-listing home inspection is a wise choice.
The benefits are endless when you hire PGR to complete a seller's inspection:
- Boost the chances of selling your home at a price that you can feel good about
- Manage any pre-existing defects or problems
- Put negotiating power back in your hands during closing
- Enjoy a smoother closing process
- Shorten the time it takes for funds to reach escrow
11th Month Home Inspection in Daniel Island, SC
If you're thinking of having a new construction home built, it's easy to understand why. New homes are often more energy-efficient, come with all-new systems and appliances, and can be customized to your exact preferences. Buying a new home also means you won't have to make repairs or deal with the wear and tear that most older homes have. However, new construction homes aren't always perfect. So, when your home is finished, and your builder explains the one-year warranty on their work, it's wise to schedule an 11th month home inspection.
Much like a general home inspection, I take an investigative, non-invasive approach when we inspect your newly built home. I will evaluate all visible and accessible areas of your new construction home to spot any potential issues. I even use thermal imaging at no extra cost to you.
When I have completed your 11th month inspection, you will receive a shorter, comprehensive inspection report with color photos and information on any defects we discover. You may take this valuable information to your builder, who can then make any repairs necessary before your warranty expires. That way, any repairs needed are done on the warranty company's time.
Additional benefits of an 11th month home inspection from PGR include:
Homebuilders are aware that new construction homes can have defects. After all, there are many hands involved in building a house, including subcontractors you never meet. Because some flaws aren't obvious during the first year of living in a home, having an 11th month home inspection is a great way to protect yourself and your investment.
When you assume that your newly constructed home is void of defects, you could be setting yourself up for some nasty surprises down the line. For example, issues with your new home's systems might not reveal themselves until they malfunction. You will have to cover repair costs in cases like this because the builder's warranty has already expired. With PGR's 11th month inspections, I will ensure that your home's structure systems work properly. If they're not, you will have ample time to have any defects fixed before your warranty is up.
When you schedule your 11th month home inspection at the start of the last month of your warranty, you will have more time to submit a warranty claim. If you choose to wait until a few days before your warranty expires, you will be rushing to file a claim before your new home's warranty expires.

Jack-O’-Lantern Jamboree and Pumpkin Walk set for Oct. 27
Put on your costumes and get your gourd on.
The annual Jack-O’-Lantern Jamboree and Pumpkin Walk is set to return to Smythe Park on Oct. 27, hosted by the Daniel Island PTA in partnership with the Daniel Island Community Fund.
Attendees can look forward to a spooky evening as they stroll among 500 creatively carved pumpkins lighting up Smythe Lake, starting at 5:30 p.m.
This free event will feature live music by the Daniel Island Music Academy and local DJ Marquis Sanders who will be spinning Halloween tunes.
“Kids are encouraged to dress up and asked to check in at the green space at Smythe Lake to receive their scavenger hunt cards that will lead them around the lake, with prizes awarded for completion,” said Nicole Melton, a member of the Daniel Island School Events PTA. “We hope by merging this into one cohesive event, we are able to highlight the long history of the pumpkin walk while also engaging the kids.”
In the park’s green space, plenty of grub options will be available from popular food trucks like Wally’s, Shaka Shrimp, Roe Roes, and Holy City Popcorn. Additionally, free apple cider will be handed out to warm everyone’s spirits.
To participate in this year’s Pumpkin Walk, community members are encouraged to carve or decorate their pumpkins and drop them off on Oct. 27, from 1-3 p.m. at Smythe Park, located at the corner of Daniel Island Drive and Purcell Lane. Prizes will be given out for best design. After the event, pumpkins can be picked up or left for display until 9 a.m. on Oct. 28.
Melton encourages everyone on the island to participate. “Families, local businesses, and schools are all welcome to contribute to this event. It’s a chance to showcase creativity and community spirit!”
This year, Elevate Community School will be joining the festivities, and co-founder Stefanie Swackhamer is ready to see her students’ pumpkins light up the lake for the first time.
“We’re most looking forward to seeing the creativity of our students and families shine through in their pumpkin designs,” Swackhamer said. “The sense of community that comes alive during this event is always a highlight. We also love the way the event brings everyone together – parents, teachers, and students – to celebrate the season in such a fun and artistic way!”
Claire Monahan, an island resident who has attended the walk for the past two years, said the Pumpkin Walk is her favorite Daniel Island tradition. “I love seeing how creative our neighbors are with their carvings, their setups, and incredible decorations. There is nothing like seeing Smythe Lake alight at night with the pumpkins. It’s a one-of-a-kind community experience that makes living here so special.”
Melton echoed these sentiments, calling the walk an event that brings together Halloween fans of all ages.
“No other event allows for such collaboration while also providing various forms of entertainment, food, and fun!”

County meets state average and above on test scores
The South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee recently released the 2024 SC School Report Cards, offering insights into student progress and academic achievement across the state.
Notably, Philip Simmons High School and Daniel Island School earned an Excellent rating, placing them among only seven schools in the Berkeley County School District to receive this top mark.
BCSD Superintendent Anthony Dixon highlighted the county’s accomplishments in a recent school board meeting.
“Our students’ achievement in English language arts has reached their highest levels since 2018,” Dixon said, adding that no schools in the district were rated as Unsatisfactory this year – a milestone he credits to dedicated staff and high academic standards.
The 2024 report card showed BCSD students scoring around the state average in key academic areas. Approximately 52% of BCSD students met or exceeded expectations on the SC READY English test, compared to 54% of students statewide. In math, 35% of BCSD students met or exceeded expectations, compared to the state’s 43%.
Nineteen BCSD schools received Good and Excellent ratings, with PSHS and DIS among those earning the Excellent mark.
PSHS, under Principal Chris Buchholz, has maintained an Excellent rating throughout his tenure.
“Over the past four years, we have focused on fostering consistent growth at our school and enhancing our support systems for students,” he said. “It is truly impressive to maintain this streak!”
He credited the school’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports team, which provides targeted interventions for students, as well as an athletic study hall program, which he said helps maintain high academic standards for the 75% of students who participate in sports.
“We maintain high expectations for our students, and they consistently rise to meet these challenges,” Buchholz said. “Our teachers have also dedicated themselves to collaborating in professional learning communities to plan effectively, solve problems, and set high expectations for student growth. This accomplishment speaks volumes about our dedicated students and teachers, especially as the expectations and metrics evolve over time.”
Daniel Island School has also maintained an Excellent rating for several consecutive years, Principal Laura Blanchard said.
“The excellence we experience is the result of consistent effort from all involved,” she said.
This year, 18 DIS students achieved perfect scores on their SC READY tests, a testament to the school’s expectations and targeted support.
Blanchard highlighted DIS’s approach of weekly Professional Learning Communities, where staff reviewed student progress and adjusted their teaching strategies. The school also utilized teams from the Individual Education Program, the 504 Plan, and MTSS to address specific student needs.
“Our students rise to the challenge, and the support we receive from parents strengthens our efforts,” she said. “This collaborative commitment to learning is the foundation of our success.”
Superintendent Dixon thanked all BCSD staff, parents, and students for their dedication to growth and improvement, and said, “Together, we’re making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.”
