"Known as 'The Family Beach,' Surfside is all raised cottages and easy living — Jamie Meeks and Same Team bring a builder's eye, standard thermal imaging, and same-day reports to every home."
Surfside Beach — affectionately known as "The Family Beach" — is a small, welcoming town tucked just south of Myrtle Beach. Laid-back and walkable, it's built around its landmark pier and a friendly, family-first vibe, with a mix of classic beach cottages, raised oceanfront and second-row homes, and inland neighborhoods that serve both year-round residents and vacationers. Same Team Home Inspections — owned and operated by Jamie Meeks, a State of South Carolina Certified Real Estate Inspector (#RBI.49506) — inspects homes throughout Surfside Beach and every community along the Grand Strand.
Jamie has inspected homes of every kind across Surfside Beach — from oceanfront and second-row cottages to raised pile homes and inland single-family properties. He knows the town 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.
Surfside's oceanfront exposure brings coastal challenges an experienced local inspector knows to watch for. Salt air, wind, and storm surge test raised homes, pilings, and crawlspaces season after season, while flood zones and high humidity make drainage, moisture, and mold real concerns near the beach. Vacation rentals often show extra wear, and older cottages carry their own age-related issues, from aging systems to past repairs. When you're investing in a Surfside Beach 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 Surfside Beach 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."
