"From the gated estates of Vaquero and Glenwyck Farms to the custom homes set on Westlake's wooded acreage — SAFE Property Inspections brings a builder's eye and detailed, photo-rich reports to one of North Texas's most exclusive towns."
Westlake is one of the smallest and most exclusive towns in North Texas — a quiet community on the Tarrant–Denton county line, just west of Westlake and minutes from Colleyville. It's known for gated communities like Vaquero, with its private golf course, and Glenwyck Farms, for the town-run Westlake Academy, and for the major corporate campuses along the State Highway 114 corridor. Homes here are predominantly large custom builds on generous, often wooded lots. SAFE Property Inspections, based just minutes away in Colleyville, inspects homes and commercial properties throughout Westlake and across North Texas.
Owner Rick Warner brings exactly the right background to Westlake's high-end, custom-built housing. A TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917) and CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspector, Rick led a 16-lot residential land development in neighboring Colleyville and carries a true builder's eye into every inspection. He understands how large custom homes are actually put together — and where, even in a luxury build, corners can get cut. He believes an inspection should leave you with real understanding, not just a checklist.
Even Westlake's finest homes face the regional challenges of North Texas. The area's expansive clay soils swell and shrink with the seasons, stressing the foundations beneath large, heavy custom homes, while sloped and wooded lots make grading and drainage especially important. Brutal summers and spring storms test roofs and multi-zone HVAC systems, and estate-sized properties mean more to inspect — pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, extensive electrical and plumbing, and long sewer lines running beneath mature landscaping.
Whether you're buying a custom estate, selling before you list, or need an independent look at a new build, SAFE Property Inspections gives you a licensed, commercially-certified inspector who personally walks the home with you, documents every finding with photos, and explains it in plain language. When you're investing at Westlake's level, thoroughness and local expertise matter. Call or text Rick at 682-200-6286 to schedule your Westlake inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by Rick — thorough, photo-documented, and explained in plain language. Here's what SAFE Property Inspections offers across Westlake and North Texas:

Real reviews from North Texas clients who have trusted Rick and SAFE Property Inspections with their biggest investment.
"Rick is great with first time buyers! He explains things thoroughly and gives them a home maintenance book. His reports are the most detailed I have seen and they make it easy to ask for repairs. He is a very likeable guy! Plus, he is one of the few inspectors you will find that can scope the plumbing lines. I highly recommend Rick Warner for your next home inspection!"

"Rick knows the inspection business and does a really thorough job of making sure that a home owner knows exactly what needs to be done to get the house sold. He also comes at it from an engineer's perspective, so he is even more detailed. Commercial property buyers and sellers are even more protected in their high-dollar transactions. You will be glad you had Rick evaluate your property."
