The Salty Smith Difference
An inspection that works for the buyer - not the ad network behind the report.
Schedule NowOne Job. Your Home. Nothing Else.
Most home inspection reports you get today arrive through a marketing platform. That means banner ads, partner upsells, warranty pitches, and - quietly - your contact information funneled into lead-generation lists. At Salty Smith Home Inspections, we rebuilt our workflow around the opposite idea: a report should exist for the buyer, and only the buyer. No ads, no referral fees, no data selling, no distractions - just a clean walkthrough of what we found and what it means for you.
How a Salty Smith Inspection Compares
The Salty Smith Way
- Quiet, ad-free report viewer
- Zero affiliate links or referral banners
- One job: telling you what we found
- Walkthrough at the end - answers in person, not just on paper
- Your inspection stays between you and us
- Texts and calls answered directly by your inspector
- Most reports in your inbox the same evening
- Flat, up-front pricing - no surprise add-ons
The Industry Default
- Report buried behind a branded marketing portal
- Banner ads for warranties, movers, and security plans
- Inspector paid to promote partner products
- Report templated to push follow-up services
- Your email and address sold to lead buyers
- Weeks of marketing emails after your inspection
- Reports delivered 2–3 days later
- Opaque pricing with bolt-on fees
Built on Four Simple Promises
We are a small West Virginia operation - not a franchise, not part of a national platform, and not paid by anyone except you. These are the commitments we make to every buyer who hires us, and the reasons real estate agents across Southern WV keep sending us their clients.
Independent by Design
We do not take referral fees, kickbacks, or partnership payments from any company we might mention in your report. The only person our findings serve is you.
An Ad-Free Experience
No banners, no cross-promotions, no sponsored sections. Your inspection viewer is a tool for understanding your home - not a storefront.
Written for You, Not a Template
Every report is specific to the home you are buying - real photos, plain language, and the context we would want if it were our own family moving in.
Your Information, Locked Down
Your name, address, and inspection results are never sold, traded, or handed to marketing partners. Full stop.
Hive Protected
Every Salty Smith inspection is delivered through a Hive Protected report - a private, ad-free platform built to keep your information yours. No banners, no partner upsells, and no lead lists. Just a clean, secure record of what we found, available to you and only you.
