"From historic creek-side cottages to the marsh-front estates of the Waccamaw Neck — Jamie Meeks and Same Team bring a builder's eye, standard thermal imaging, and same-day reports to every Pawleys Island home."
Pawleys Island is one of the oldest resort communities on the East Coast — a storied stretch of the Waccamaw Neck at the southern end of the Grand Strand, famous for its "arrogantly shabby" charm and its weathered, generations-old beach cottages. Between the ocean and the salt marsh, Pawleys blends historic creek-side homes and gray-cedar cottages with upscale golf and marsh-front communities and newer construction inland. Same Team Home Inspections — owned and operated by Jamie Meeks, a State of South Carolina Certified Real Estate Inspector (#RBI.49506) — inspects homes throughout Pawleys Island and every community along the Grand Strand.
Jamie has inspected homes of every kind across Pawleys Island — from historic oceanfront and creek-side cottages to marsh-front homes and brand-new builds on the Neck. He knows the area and its housing the way only a local inspector can, and it's that thoroughness that earned Same Team the #1 Home Inspector ranking in nearby Socastee for 2025. Because Jamie handles every inspection personally — with standard thermal imaging on every visit and virtual or FaceTime inspections for out-of-town buyers — you get his full experience on your home, every time.
Pawleys Island's setting between the ocean and the marsh brings coastal challenges an experienced local inspector knows to watch for. Salt air, humidity, and storm surge test raised homes, pilings, and crawlspaces season after season, while marsh- and creek-front lots carry flood-zone and drainage concerns. The area's beloved historic cottages bring genuine age-related issues, from aging systems to decades of past repairs, and newer construction quality can vary. When you're investing in a Pawleys Island home, local expertise makes all the difference — call or text Jamie at 843-507-1114 to schedule your inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by Jamie — thorough, photo-documented, and delivered the same day. Here's what Same Team offers across Pawleys Island and the Grand Strand:
A complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the home's structure, systems, and safety — the foundation of every confident purchase.
Selling your home? Know what buyers will find before they do, and negotiate from a position of strength.
Independent inspections that catch builder defects before closing — on their dime, not yours. Jamie's specialty.
A critical checkpoint before the walls close up — framing, wiring, and plumbing inspected while everything is visible.
A full inspection before your builder's one-year warranty expires — so covered defects get fixed on their dime.
Infrared scanning that pinpoints hidden moisture, electrical hot spots, and missing insulation — standard on every inspection.
Real reviews from Grand Strand homeowners who have trusted Jamie and Same Team Home Inspections with their biggest investment.
"Jamie was very thorough in the inspection. He even is willing to come back and finish once outstanding items are taken care of at no extra cost. He actually spent time walking the house a second time with me on the phone since I was in NJ. I would highly recommend them — he and Amanda were great to work with."

"I highly recommend Same Team! I hired Jamie for a Home Inspection on my new construction home. He arrived on time and was very professional. The next day he provided a very detailed report with pictures and notes — damaged shingles, an HVAC unit that wasn't secured to the pad, gaps around exterior flood lights, and more. After his visit I was much more confident about purchasing my new home. Thank you, Jamie!"

"Jamie was excellent! For our new home build we hired him for multiple inspection aspects — pre-drywall, weekly progress visits, and the final walk-through. Living over 700 miles away, Jamie became our local eyes, ears and support, finding issues (some major, some minor) and helping get them addressed before closing. He remained an intricate part of 'our team' from start to finish. We would highly recommend him to anyone."
