Meet Douglas Hayes | Founder/Owner of HTX Home Inspections

We had the good fortune of connecting with Douglas Hayes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Douglas, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
There a number of factors that has helped fuel the success we have achieved so far with our business. Factors such as; having faith, utilizing previous work experience/skills, knowing and understanding the business we’re in, consistency in our approach, listening and asking “the right questions”, hiring the right people and taking care of them and last but not least enjoying what we do!

What should our readers know about your business?
Starting a business was never in the cards for me. My plan was to retire from my previous job and ride off into the sunset. Fortunately God had other plans and nudged me to resign from my previous career after 20yrs as an operations manager. What made this nudge even more daunting was that it happened a week prior to COVID shutting down America. I wasn’t too concerned about COVID or finding another job because I felt it was God that closed that door. Starting this business was truly a word from God. On three different occasions from three different people the business of home inspection was presented to me. So when I say this is a “God Thing” it really is! I feel what makes HTX Home Inspections different is that we love what we do, we want to help people in the home buying process and we are grateful for all the support we have received to this point. We have had so much growth in such a short period of time due to the fact we don’t take this for granted and we believe we are making a difference. What sets us apart is our hands on approach, educating not alarming clients on the home inspection findings, superior customer service, treating people the way we want to be treated and creating a stress free experience.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Depending on the season we would go to one of the big three sporting events and take in a game to watch the Houston Rockets, Texans or Astros. The food scene in Houston is spectacular so restaurants in Mid-Town, Rice Village, EaDO or Downtown would do the trick.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are so many people who prayed, supported and believed in me and HTX Home Inspections. First and foremost I would like to give a shoutout to my wife Nicole! She is the one who has been there through all the ups and downs of my previous career and is a vital part of what we do in our business now. I would like to thank all my family and friends who have prayed for me and supported our business. I would also like to thank all our clients and industry partners who believe in us and trust the service we provide.
