Home Inspection Services Across Metro Detroit and Mid-Michigan
HHI Hodge Home Inspections serves home buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout Southeast and Mid-Michigan. Based in Oxford, certified inspector Erik Hodge covers four counties — Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, and Genesee — bringing the same thorough, jargon-free inspection to every home in every market he serves.
​
Michigan doesn't require home inspectors to be licensed. That makes your choice of inspector one of the most consequential decisions in the home buying process. Erik's dual certifications from InterNACHI and ICA, combined with decades of hands-on trade experience in electrical, plumbing, and framing, make him one of the most qualified inspectors anywhere in his service area.
Oakland County
Erik's home county. Oakland County is Michigan's second most populous and one of its most competitive real estate markets. The county spans from established inner suburbs like Royal Oak and Southfield to upscale communities like Troy and Birmingham to the lakes and rural character of Clarkston, Oxford, and Lake Orion in the north.
With housing stock that ranges from post-war ranches to luxury new construction, buyers here need an inspector who understands what every era of Michigan home presents.

​
Macomb County
Macomb County has seen some of the strongest home price appreciation in Metro Detroit in recent years, drawing buyers to communities from Warren and Sterling Heights in the south to the newer developments of Shelby Township and Macomb Township in the north.
Three of Michigan's ten most populous municipalities are in this county, and its housing stock — from mid-century working-class neighborhoods to upscale newer subdivisions — creates distinct inspection considerations by area.

​
Lapeer County
Lapeer County attracts buyers seeking more space, more natural beauty, and more value than the densely developed suburbs to the south — while staying within reasonable distance of Metro Detroit.
Its rural and semi-rural character creates inspection considerations not commonly seen further south: well and septic systems, lakefront properties, older rural construction, and outbuildings are common.
Erik is based in Oxford, making him ideally positioned to serve Lapeer County without added travel complications.

​
Genesee County
Genesee County offers some of the most accessible home prices in Michigan, making it an active market for first-time buyers, investors, and families priced out of Oakland and Macomb counties.
Erik serves buyers throughout the county with the same certified, thorough inspection process — including water quality testing that is strongly recommended for properties in this market given the county's infrastructure history.
