"From established neighborhoods to lake properties and new construction — Lane Ragsdale and Lighthouse bring a Certified Master Inspector's eye and clear, color-coded reports to every home in the Tullahoma area."
Tullahoma is a thriving southern-Tennessee city known for Arnold Air Force Base and the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, its proximity to Tims Ford Lake, and its role as a regional hub for the surrounding area. Its housing ranges from established mid-century neighborhoods to lake properties and a steady stream of new construction. Lighthouse Home & Property Inspection Services — owned and operated by Lane Ragsdale, a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) licensed in both Tennessee and Alabama — is based nearby in Fayetteville and inspects properties throughout Tullahoma.
Homes in the Tullahoma area face the regional challenges common across southern Tennessee. Humid summers and heavy storms are hard on roofs and drainage, damp crawlspaces create the conditions for moisture and mold, and the region sits in higher-radon country worth testing for. Older homes carry era-specific concerns, while newer construction brings its own set of things to check.
That's why Tullahoma homeowners choose Lighthouse. You get a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) licensed in Tennessee and Alabama, a clear, color-coded report delivered fast, and an inspector who personally walks the home with you and explains everything in plain language. Mold and air-quality testing, radon, thermal imaging, and sewer-scope inspections are all available. Call or text Lane at 931-307-1524 to schedule your Tullahoma inspection.

Answers to the most common questions Tullahoma-area homeowners ask before scheduling a home inspection.
A Lighthouse home inspection evaluates the major systems and components of the property, including the roof, foundation, structure, attic, insulation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, built-in appliances, siding, and grounds as they pertain to the home.
We document what we find with photos and explain the findings in plain language using a color-coded report, so you can quickly understand what matters most and prioritize any issues before making your decision.
For an average home, plan for about 4 hours on-site, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Lane never rushes — he takes the time the home needs.
You are not required to be present for the entire inspection. Our inspections typically take approximately four hours, and our reports are clearly organized, color-coded, and written in plain language to help you understand the findings.
Because inspections require careful concentration, interruptions and distractions can sometimes extend the inspection time or make it more difficult for the inspector to remain focused on the property.
Clients are always welcome to attend; however, we generally recommend arriving approximately 3½ hours after the scheduled start time. This allows the inspector to complete most of the inspection without interruption and provides an opportunity to review the major findings with you once the inspection is completed.
After you receive and review your report, we are also happy to answer any questions and discuss the findings with you.
Yes. These are ancillary services available for an additional fee and should be requested when scheduling the inspection.
Lighthouse provides mold inspections and indoor air-quality testing (IAC2 Certified), radon testing, and infrared thermal-imaging scans that can help identify conditions such as hidden moisture, electrical hot spots, and insulation gaps.
Sewer-scope inspections, pool & spa inspections, and outbuilding inspections are also available.
Quickly — often within a day. You'll receive a clear, color-coded report with photos that separates major concerns from minor ones, so you're never left waiting when you have decisions and deadlines.
The fastest way is to call or text Lane directly at 931-307-1524, or use the form on our contact page. We'll find a time that fits your closing timeline and get your inspection on the calendar.
