About HI-OZ

Let Us Be Your Eyes and Ears

At Home Inspections of the OZarks, we bring more than five decades of hands-on experience in construction, fine woodworking, and home inspections to every property we evaluate. Founded in 2012 by Joey Fila and joined by his son Jordan, HI-OZ was built on a simple principle: treat every home as if it were our own.

Our background in construction and fine millwork gives us an unmatched eye for detail. We don't just look at the surface - we understand how homes are built, where problems hide, and what to watch for in Ozark-region properties. Whether you're buying your first home in Harrison, selling a property in Fayetteville, or investing in Bentonville, we deliver thorough inspections and clear, actionable reports you can trust.

Don't just take our word for it - hear from homeowners and realtors across Northwest Arkansas who trust HI-OZ.

Incredibly detailed inspector, pictures and videos and text explanations for every single aspect. Discovered things that would have cost us thousands of dollars in unknown repairs!

Google Review

Very thorough inspection. He found a multitude of problems on a newly renovated house for sale. The repairs for the unseen issues I expect to run well over twenty thousand dollars. Insurance like that is worth every penny.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a home inspection cover?
A standard home inspection covers the roof, foundation, structural components, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), interior and exterior walls, windows, doors, insulation, ventilation, and more. At HI-OZ, we follow the Arkansas Standards of Practice to ensure a thorough, comprehensive evaluation of every accessible system and component in your home.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most residential home inspections take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger homes or properties with additional structures (detached garages, outbuildings) may take longer. We never rush - every HI-OZ inspection is thorough and detail-oriented.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
While it's not required, we strongly encourage buyers to attend at least the last hour of the inspection. This gives us the opportunity to walk you through our findings in person, answer your questions, and point out important details about the home's systems and maintenance needs.
How soon will I receive my inspection report?
You'll receive your detailed HomeGauge inspection report within 24 hours of your inspection - often the same day. The report includes high-resolution photos, clear descriptions of any issues found, and actionable recommendations so you can make informed decisions.
What is a phase inspection?
A phase inspection (also called a new construction inspection) is performed during the building process of a new home. There are typically three phases: Footing (before concrete is poured), Framing (before drywall is installed), and Final (before closing). These inspections catch construction defects early - before they're hidden behind walls. Learn more on our new construction phase inspections page.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Our residential home inspection pricing starts at $365 for homes up to 1,500 square feet. Pricing varies based on the size and type of property. Visit our pricing page for a full breakdown, or call us at (870) 577-0349 for an exact quote.
When does the inspection usually take place?
The home inspection typically takes place shortly after the seller accepts the buyer's offer and before the appraisal is ordered. We recommend scheduling your inspection as soon as possible after going under contract. This gives you the most time to review the findings, request repairs, and negotiate before closing. Call us at (870) 577-0349 or visit our contact page to get on our schedule quickly.
Who pays for the home inspection?
In nearly all cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. That's because the inspection is designed to protect the buyer by identifying potential issues before the purchase is finalized. Think of it as an investment in peace of mind. A few hundred dollars now can save you thousands in unexpected repairs down the road.
What should I ask for after a home inspection?
After your inspection, you can request that the seller make repairs, offer a price reduction, or provide a repair allowance at closing. What you ask for often depends on the local market and the severity of the issues found. We recommend focusing on safety concerns, structural defects, and major system problems (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical). Your real estate agent can help you prioritize, and your detailed HI-OZ inspection report gives you the documentation to back up every request.
