"From Pelham Road and historic Taylors Mill to Lake Robinson and the Paris Mountain foothills β Bradley & April Wilburn bring two SC Licensed Home Inspectors to every Taylors inspection. A Well-Maintained Home Is A Safe Home.β’"
Taylors is one of Greenville County's largest unincorporated communities β a residential anchor for northeast Greenville with deep roots, growing neighborhoods, and a real estate market that has heated up considerably over the past decade. Bradley Wilburn (SC Licensed Home Inspector #48751) and April Wilburn (SC Licensed Home Inspector #48528), the husband-and-wife team behind Carolina Quality Home Inspection, have been inspecting Taylors-area homes since 2013 β bringing two licensed inspectors and over a decade of professional Upstate experience to every inspection along Wade Hampton Boulevard, Pelham Road, and the surrounding Taylors community.
Taylors' character is shaped by its mix of long-established neighborhoods and steady new growth. The historic Taylors Mill β once a working textile mill, now a creative reuse space full of artist studios, restaurants, and breweries β anchors the community's revival energy. The Pelham Road corridor connects Taylors to I-85 and the broader Upstate economy, lined with shopping, dining, and growing residential subdivisions. To the north, neighborhoods reach toward Lake Robinson and the recreational draw of Paris Mountain State Park, where waterfront and foothills properties sit alongside more modest subdivision homes. Eastside High School, family-friendly parks, and easy access to both downtown Greenville and Greer make Taylors one of the most practical addresses in the Upstate for buyers wanting space without giving up convenience.
Here's what every Taylors buyer needs to understand about the homes here. Taylors' housing stock spans mid-century brick ranches from the 1950s and 60s through 1970s and 80s subdivisions and into recent new construction along the Wade Hampton corridor. Older Taylors homes commonly show their age in aging electrical service panels, original cast iron drain lines, retrofitted HVAC systems that may not be sized correctly for the home, and crawlspaces that have weathered decades of Piedmont red clay soil seasonal movement. Crawlspace moisture is a real concern across Taylors β the Upstate's humid subtropical climate, combined with older homes that often lack vapor barriers or proper ventilation, creates conditions where mold growth, joist rot, and pest activity can develop quietly over years. Newer Taylors construction is not immune either: drainage issues on sloped lots, framing shortcuts, and HVAC imbalance show up regularly. And termite pressure across Greenville County is significant year-round β making a thorough inspection by inspectors who know the territory absolutely essential.
Taylors buyers have one more advantage when they hire Carolina Quality: two SC Licensed Home Inspectors working as a team on every inspection. Both Bradley and April are fully SC licensed, and both walk every property β meaning more thorough coverage, faster on-site time, and the kind of personal service Taylors families and Realtors deserve.

Answers to the most common questions Taylors homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Many Taylors homes were built in the 1950s through the 1980s. Common concerns include aging electrical service panels (some Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels are still in service and have known fire risks), original cast iron drain lines that may be showing corrosion, retrofitted HVAC systems sized for additions that no longer match the home, and crawlspaces that have weathered decades of clay-soil movement. Bradley and April know exactly what to look for in every Taylors-era home.
Yes β and it's one of the most overlooked Upstate inspection issues. Most Taylors homes have crawlspaces, and many have minimal vapor barriers, limited ventilation, and decades of accumulated moisture exposure. We pay close attention to standing water, mold growth on joists and subfloor, pest activity, sagging floors above damaged joists, and HVAC ductwork condition. A thorough crawlspace inspection often reveals the most significant findings on the entire report.
Yes β Upstate South Carolina has elevated radon potential, and radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The only way to know your home's radon level is to test. We offer professional radon testing as an add-on service to any Taylors inspection. Mention it when you schedule and we'll bring the equipment.
Homes in northeast Greenville County near Lake Robinson and the Paris Mountain foothills can have unique inspection considerations β sloped lots with drainage challenges, private well water requiring testing, septic systems where municipal sewer doesn't reach, and exposure to foothills storm patterns. We have extensive experience inspecting properties throughout this area and adjust our inspection focus to match the property type and location.
