Specialties
From The Ground Up is a veteran-owned home inspection company based in Port Neches, serving Southeast Texas since 2004. I'm Troy Priddy, a U.S. Navy veteran and TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#7259-PI), and I've completed more than 9,000 inspections across the Golden Triangle.
We inspect homes and commercial buildings in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland, Groves, Orange, Lumberton, Vidor, Silsbee, and surrounding communities. Services include buyer's and pre-listing inspections, new construction phase inspections, 11-month builder warranty inspections, commercial inspections, foundation evaluations, sewer scope, pool and spa, well and septic, sprinkler systems, and water testing.
Southeast Texas homes deal with humidity, storms, and pier-and-beam foundations, and we know what to look for. You'll get a clear, detailed report within 24 hours, and we're always glad to walk you through anything in it.
History
Established in 2004.
From The Ground Up is family and veteran owned and operated. I served six years in the U.S. Navy as a Data Systems Technician Second Class, aboard the USS Peleliu out of San Diego and the USS Callaghan out of Everett, Washington. After the Navy, I worked six years in the oil and gas industry in Houston.
When my family bought a home, our home inspection showed me how much a good inspector can help people through the biggest purchase of their lives. In 2004 I moved back home to Southeast Texas to be closer to family and started From The Ground Up. More than 9,000 inspections later, it's still the most rewarding work I've done.
Meet the Business Owner: Troy P.
I grew up in Port Neches and graduated from Port Neches-Groves High School. Shortly after graduating, I joined the U.S. Navy and served six years as a Data Systems Technician Second Class aboard the USS Peleliu and the USS Callaghan. After my honorable discharge, I moved to Houston and worked as an electrical/mechanical technician for Halliburton, and earned an associate degree in Interactive Media from Lone Star College along the way.
After a home inspection on our own family's house, my wife and I decided to move back to the Golden Triangle to be closer to family and start our own home inspection business. Since 2004, I've completed more than 9,000 inspections as a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#7259-PI).
I've been married to my amazing wife since 1993, and we have three wonderful kids who keep us busy with sports, school, and church.
