Can't recommend Mike enough. Extremely thorough, caught several critical issues I would've missed, and spent serious time walking me through everything in person. He's also genuinely funny, which makes a long inspection fly by. If you're an investor, Mike's your guy. read more

In process of purchasing my first home Mike made sure to make this part the least overwhelming. He was timely, professional & explained the inspection before and after clearly. In the crazy world we live in today, his honesty was a breath of fresh air. I was grateful for his expertise. Don't think twice, he won't disappoint. Thank you Mike for your time and guidance. read more

Mike has inspected two homes for me. With that said, it was always pleasant to speak with him. The conversations were friendly, informative and helpful. The reports he generated were informative by both visual aids and narratives. He brings a ton of experience for a reasonable price; great value across the board. I would 10,000% use him again. read more

Mike was recommended to us through our realtor and we were very impressed with the service he provided. He was very thorough and spent a lot of time inspecting the house and going through findings with us and ensuring we understood everything. He made our experience very pleasant and we would definitely use him again. read more

Our realtor recommended Mike to us for our inspection and it was the best decision we made! He went above and beyond with everything. We called him the day before thanksgiving and asked to have an inspection done within our 7 day option period, he replied with "I can be there tomorrow at noon" ON THANKSGIVING! We could not thank him enough for his thorough work. He is so honest and funny! We HIGHLY recommend Mike for your house inspections! Thank you! read more

Mike was so professional. He went through everything he found in our inspection. He answered all my questions. I felt very confident in his findings. I recommend him top notch!! read more

Mike was amazing at communication and follow up on a unique situation recently. He was thorough, prompt, and holds the experience and knowledge needed when getting an inspection. I will definitely be using him again and referring him going forward! Thank you Mike! read more

Mike inspected our first home purchase and he made the process as simple as we are and boy are we simple! He patiently walked us through each and every discovery, every issue, and every potential problem. We thought he was done explaining and tried to whip out the money and he said (and I quote) "Hold On! I want to make sure you guys are fully satisfied, understand, and are comfortable." Who does that?! I love great customer service and Mike is one of the best! We will be using him for future purchases. read more

Mike did an outstanding job and caught something HUGE that we would've never known about! He did a very detailed walkthrough of the home and then sat and explained everything he saw to me (good, bad, and the ugly). I was very impressive by his thoroughness and very thankful that he caught something huge (dryer vents with a screen on it - would've guaranteed a house fire down the road). Would 1000% recommend him to anyone in need of a good inspection!! I wouldn't trust anyone else for an inspection! read more

Just closed on my first house and I thought I would share that Mike Statler really gave me peace of mind and allowed me to take on this process with full confidence. He was very profesional and shares his concerns with even the smallest of things that may be of concern in the future. Not only does he not overlook anything, but he also makes sure that you understand potential problems that may occur if certain things are not fixed. After he is done inspecting the property, he will then put together a presentation of everything he finds! He explained to us that he will not leave the property with out finding anything and he held up to his word. For first time home buyers this guy is very knowledgeable and welcoming and I recommend anyone that may be doing their due diligence with hiring a home inspector that is trustworthy. read more

Awesome dude! He exceeded our expectations. Very detailed and honest. Made the process less stressful and was super helpful. Highly recommend! read more

We've bought several investment homes that Mike has inspected for us prior to purchase. He is extremely thorough, and has saved us literally thousands of dollars by identifying issues that need to be repaired prior to to signing on the dotted line. worked with other inspectors who weren't that thorough, I have come to greatly appreciate Mr. Statler's thoroughness and willingness to communicate candidly with his clients. I recommend 1st Priority 100%. read more

Mike was there same day - report was very detailed and he explained the findings in person thoroughly - Best inspector money can buy - talk about instant $$$ in your pocket - saved us thousands and thousands off contract on a seemingly issue free house. Betting those skills extend deeply into commercial side. Don't use anyone else. read more

Mike was able to get an inspection done on our property with under 24 hours' notice. He produced a high-quality report that allowed our investors to feel comfortable about moving forward on purchasing a property. If I need an inspection, I will be calling Mike again. He may not be a good looker, but he is a good looker! read more

Mr. & Mrs. Meier read more

Mike just performed the inspection and "reinspection" following seller-made modifications of my first home purchase in Fort Worth. He was efficient, thorough, brought great expertise, and went the extra mile to ensure that I had everything I needed to make informed decisions. He provided extremely helpful insight to help me prioritize repairs and understand the "how's" and "why's" about which I was very naive. Mike was professional but relational throughout which made it easy to communicate, and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell! read more

Mike is the best of the best! His thorough inspections help buyers and sellers know what repairs are necessary! I'd recommend him time and time again. He's honest and will evaluate your properties highest concerns and smallest details. He goes above and beyond to ensure his clients have all the knowledge they need to make a wise decision. Mike's attention to detail allows a peaceful decision during what can be a worrisome process. read more

We have used Mike's services for the evaluation of two home purchases.... His inspections were meticulous and he provides the documented evidence in a detailed report. Also his customer service skills were excellent as he took his time in explaining and providing clarity to any key issues. read more

Mike performed a detailed 3-day inspection of a commercial retail center for me. He distilled the issues, separating the key deficiencies from the minor ones, even suggesting optional repairs to ensure customer safety. He was aware of my timeline and quickly produced the reports. The reports' photos illustrated the issues, making it easy to comprehend for both the buyer & seller. In other words, I highly recommend Mike as he is trustworthy, knowledgeable, observant, responsive, and understands the business. read more

On a recommendation from a friend, I used Mike Statler from 1st Priority Inspection to inspect my new house. As someone who has no idea what to look for or what half of this stuff means, it was nice to have an inspector that explains everything in plain English. Mike did that. He took about 3 hours to inspect my little 1400 square foot house. He then spent 30 minutes walking through every picture he took, explaining what exactly was wrong and how big of a deal it was. Long story short, he left me with piece of mind on what I was buying. Win-win. read more

Mike was great to work with! He was very thorough and explained everything in his report in a way that my wife and I could easily understand. He discovered an Issue with missing insulation in a south facing wall and recommended how to fix. Will definitely use Mike again read more

As a Realtor here in North Texas, I rely on professional people to help me get my job done and service my clients. Mike is always my 1st suggestion when my clients ask for an inspector. I have used Mike for almost 4 years now and have NEVER had a bad experience with him. He is thorough, meticulous, and trustworthy. I whole heartedly recommend Mike Statler to my friends, clients and to you. Brian St.Clair RE/MAX Heritage read more

First Priority Inspection indeed made checking out our soon to be "new" home their 1st priority. Mike Statler did a thorough and first rate job. He found problems that needed to be addressed that we had missed entirely. We were given a detailed report to go back to the sellers with. Thanks Mike! read more

Wow! GREAT experience! Mike Statler is AWESOME! I am a Realtor and I want my buyers to use the very best Home Inspector available and by law have to present my buyers with a few different names of inspectors to do their home inspection. I have had Mike on my Inspector list for several years and he has always done the BEST job, not only on his thorough inspection, but also in explaining things to the buyers about what's a BIG deal (something to really worry about) and what's not that big a deal (because often buyers get freaked out when they look at an inspection report). If you've seen one, you know! Mike not only does the inspections himself (he does not have a team)...you get HIM and that's a GREAT thing, but he explains everything to the buyer and then he follows up with me, the Realtor, to let me know his findings and then he provides a detailed, written full Inspection Report within a few hours. Another thing I love about 1st Priority Inspection is that Mike follows up even the next day and the next, in case you have other questions. He is always there to help both my buyer and Me, the Realtor, to navigate the dreaded "repair amendment" process. He makes it so easy. From a Realtor's perspective, there are other inspectors that might do a decent job, but they are lacking when it comes to explaining things to the buyer. Mike, on the other hand, does a GREAT job of doing the inspection and is especially wonderful at explaining the details to the buyer and to work with the Realtor and buyer to get to the nuts and bolts of what is major and what isn't on the Inspection Report. My buyers LOVE him, too, and they always thank me for referring him because of his professionalism and dedication to his clients. I will definitely keep using Mike Statler of 1st Priority Inspection! read more

As a first time home buyer I wasn't sure what to look for or ask when assessing the house. Mike Statler from 1st Priority Inspection was very detailed and informative to my husband and I. I appreciate his hard work and willingness to educate us through the process. I would defiantly use him again. read more

Mike performed a thorough inspection of the home. Mike is knowledgeable, approachable and patient. I asked many questions regarding the inspection and Mike had the answers. When I arrived at the site, Mike had pictures read for viewing and after his explanation, we toured the house together. It was the most informative and fun inspection I have attended. It is a pleasure to work with Mike. Definitely 5 star plus. Mike was referred to me by my realtor, Allen Davis. read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers, and our realtor hooked us up with Mike Statler. He took his time inspecting the house, and when he was through, he took time to explain everything to us. He made the process easy and painless, and you would be crazy to not use him for your home inspection! Thanks, Mike! He's pretty entertaining too! read more

My fiancé and i just used Mike in our home purchase process and couldn't be happier! He made the process easy and VERY low stress with an extremely thorough inspection and very detailed report. I would highly recommend him to any home buyer and we can definitely be reassured this home with be a great place with no worries in the for seen future. Thank you Mike! read more

Over the phone, Mike Statler was really nice. I spoke with several inspectors and 1st Priority Inspection had the most attractive price. Mike was very flexible and able to come and inspect the property when I needed him to. Mike was very thorough. He took lots of pictures and gave detailed explanations of what need to be done. Since I was buying a foreclosed home, he even gave me tips on how to do things myself. I like that he was able to email me all the pictures along with the report, so when it comes time for me to get work done, I can refer to the notes and see exactly what I need to do. I will definitely refer him in the future. C. Coleman read more

In searching for a new house, my new bride and I were directed to Mike at 1st Priority. We were almost dead set on buying this house, as close as you could get without signing. Mike came in and spent a few hours going over that place from top to bottom. His report included pictures and hand signals to explain his level of concern about the picture addressed. He dug so much deeper that I would have ever imagined possible.... He found a list of things we should be concerned about, as well as another list of "also rans" that we need to take note of, as well as yet another list of "nuisance issues" that would probably need to be addressed at a later date. After seeing this comprehensive list, we did not buy the house and we are better for it! We would have walked into a money pit! I cannot recommend he service enough. If you want an inspection done in the best possible manner, give Mike a call, you will not be let down.... Steve. read more

We had a great experience with Mike and unfortunately this review is long overdue. We just purchased our home, but in the process of going under contract we needed a last minute inspection to work in repairs. I contacted this company and got a hold of Mike. He understood the rush and we set up an appointment about two days later. Mind you this was also during the holiday time. So he came out and did a very thorough inspection and after we went through all the details we began to talk about food. Next thing you know we're exchanging emails for recipes as well as food recommendations from the surrounding area. This guy is a genuine hard worker who takes care of his clients. I would highly recommend this place if you are in need of a home inspection. Mike does a good job and will ensure that you are 100% satisfied. Also, pick his brain about food if you look to get some good recommendations on food in the Fort Worth area. read more

We had our home inspected by Mike in March of 2017. I have spent almost $10k in repairs to my home on things he missed and should not have passed inspection. Very serious things. My pool heater was leaking, the control panel was wired incorrectly which eventually shorted out and blew the transformer, the sprinkler system was not functioning correctly, the inside sourroun sound system upstairs and down was wired incorrectly, and most upsetting was the fuse box was overloaded on 4 circuits which could have caused a fire. I would not recommend this company to anyone and have alerted my realtor and company as well as my finance team. read more

We called on Mike Statler to inspect our house before it hit the one-year mark so that warranty issues could be addressed. Not only did Mike find a gas leak in the attic, he also found other major issues that needed to be addressed ASAP. He spent over three hours at our home and within 24 hours, we had a detailed report, including pictures, from him. This was literally the best money we have spent in years. We highly recommend Mike due to his thoroughness, professionalism and commitment to doing a quality job. read more

As first time house buyers, we were unfamiliar with home inspections. We chose Mike Statler out of a list of recommendations given by our real estate agent. I'm confident it was the best decision we could have made. Not only was Mike funny, personable, and charismatic, he was also extremely thorough. He walked us through every item of concern and advised us on possible cost-effective solutions. Even though the inspection process seemed daunting, Mike made us his first priority. read more

Mike inspected our new home and was extremely professional and thorough. He found many issues that needed to be resolved that we would never have known to look for. Our builder is actually considering a design change for one of the items Mike found after correcting our home. The builder also installed a second attic ladder as a result of this issue. That one item alone paid for the inspection fee. We feel confident now in closing on our home. Thank you, Mike! read more

Mike was recommended by a local Realtor. I was not disappointed. Inspecting a 102 year old house has its challenges, including crawling under the house. Mike was great! He went the extra mile in every way! Thanks, Mike read more

Mike Statler is AMAZING!!! I recently moved to Texas, and have only been here for 3 weeks. I had options of inspectors given to me by my realtor. However, Mike was recommended by my new co-worker, who had him inspect her home a couple of years ago. She also recommended him to another employee, that said he did an AWESOME job! Not only did he provide over 100 photos of my new home, he was extremely detailed and presented me with things "hiding in plain sight." I had been to the home several times, and did not see what he saw. Overall, it was a clean inspection report, but he was so thorough in making sure I knew about EVERYTHING, I was overwhelmingly impressed. He even talked with me for another hour about all the great things Texas had to offer!! I totally have a "bucket list" of all the great restaurants, biking trails, shopping plazas, bars, and many more things to visit now! He's a jack of all trades, and WONDERFUL at what he does. THANKS for welcoming me to Texas Mike!!! read more

We initially were thinking about not getting a home inspection because we were buying a new house (so we thought). We are new to the area and were referred to Mike by one of my husband's co-workers. I thank God we had a home inspection and that we chose Mike to do it. He looked for everything. He is up to code with Texas requirements (not just what the builder considers up to code). We initially believed the house was a 2010 build and found out that it was built in 2007 because Mike told us. He found out so many things that we would not have even known to look for other than cosmetic things. We appreciated him taking his time, walking us through the inspection, and speaking in layman's terms so we could understand everything that was going on with the house before moving in. I feel we know EVERYTHING about the house now and can jump in with our eyes open and most importantly with peace of mind. Besides that, Mike spoke to the builder directly and told him all the things that were still missing and EVERYTHING got fixed. Mike is approachable, honest, and thorough. THANKS MIKE!!! read more

I cannot say enough about how great Mike is. We purchased an older home planning a remodel. His inspection report was our guide to things that definately needed repaired, things that needed more investigation, and things that were in good shape. I referenced his report throughout the remodel and he was accurate on all accounts. It really let us know what we were looking at in time and money. Our home looks fantastic and we stayed on budget. It was great to not have big surprises that so many remodeled have. I highly recommend Mike. He is professional yet very caring about his work and clients. read more
