"20 years inspecting homes and 23+ years in construction — delivering accurate, unbiased, thorough inspections for home buyers, home owners, and real estate professionals across East Tennessee."
Rock Solid Home Inspections understands that the purchase of a home is probably the largest and most exciting investment you will ever make. It's hard to remove the emotional attachment a home creates — the location, the style, the setting. That's why an independent, experienced home inspector matters.
Adam Boggess has been inspecting homes for 20 years and has spent 23+ years in the construction field. That combined experience means you get an inspector who doesn't just check boxes — he understands how homes are built, how they fail, and what a buyer or owner really needs to know.

Learn More →Adam Boggess brings a rare combination to every inspection: 20 years as a professional home inspector backed by 23+ years in the construction field. He's been on the framing crew, in the crawlspace, on the roof, and up in the attic — and he uses every bit of that experience to protect his clients.
Adam is always thorough and enjoys taking the time to inspect the home with the client, answer questions, and give practical advice about repairs. As a field-experienced inspector following both national standards and those of the State of Tennessee, Adam is trusted by home buyers, home owners, and real estate professionals across the greater Chattanooga and Cleveland area.
"Adam was thorough, professional, and took the time to walk me through every finding. His construction background really shows — he caught things another inspector would have missed. Highly recommend Rock Solid."
"Called Rock Solid for a manufactured home foundation certification and Adam had the report back to us quickly. Exactly what the lender needed. Great communication from start to finish."
"First-time home buyer and Adam made me feel informed instead of overwhelmed. He explained the report in plain English and answered every question. Worth every penny — saved us from a bad purchase."
A typical home inspection takes between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Adam takes the time needed to do it right — rushing an inspection defeats the whole purpose of having one done.
Every general home inspection evaluates all interior and exterior components and systems including the roof, basement, heating, cooling, ventilation, insulation, plumbing, structure, electrical, and the lot. We deliver a detailed written report with photos documenting everything we find.
Yes — Rock Solid offers professional Radon testing and it's one of our specialty services. East Tennessee's geology makes our region one of the higher-risk areas in the country for elevated indoor radon levels. Radon is an invisible, odorless gas and the only way to know your home's levels is to test. We recommend it for every home purchase.
A Foundation Certification is a professionally-documented inspection confirming that a manufactured home's foundation meets HUD and lender requirements. It's typically required for FHA, VA, and USDA loans, and is often needed during real estate transactions on manufactured homes. Rock Solid provides these certifications across East Tennessee — fast, thorough, and ready when you need them.
Yes — Adam encourages clients to be present. It's an excellent opportunity to see the home through an inspector's eyes, ask questions in real time, and learn about the systems in your potential new home. Even if you can only come for the last hour for the walkthrough, that one-on-one time is invaluable.
Rock Solid delivers detailed, photo-rich inspection reports typically within 24 hours of the inspection, often same-day. We use HomeGauge report delivery — accessible online, easy to share with your real estate agent, and organized so you can focus on what matters most.
