Seth Landry from Banyan Home Inspection Services, Inc was hired by the buyers of our home to inspect the property. Seth arrived about 20 minutes early for a 10:30 appointment (as we were leaving) and was still here at 12:30 pm when we arrived back. We asked if he would mind if we came "home" and his response was "I'm almost done and it will be about another 30-45 minutes, and I would prefer you not be here". With that being said, we left and waited until he departed. Upon entering our home, which he had for over 2 hours, there was insulation over the furniture in the family room, the sliding glass doors were not secured, the French doors in the master bedroom were ajar (don't think of locking them), as well as taking pictures off the walls and unplugging lights and appliances and not returning them to the way he found them. Florida law states that they are only to inspect whatever is in sight, legally stating nothing is to be moved, no rugs, nothing. Not only did he leave our home unsecured, messy but he did not follow the laws written for any and all inspectors. I would highly recommend finding a reputable company or at least one that is returns the home in the condition it was found. We do wish we were here to see what else he moved/inspected, as we had R38 in the attic, but now there is a pile in the garage. Doesn't seem to matter, the realtor for the buyer was not happy, but one would expect that the company, Banyan would have made an effort to make the matter right. Nothing. Please, find someone else to do your inspections, as he was responsible for any damage, repairs or replacements should something had been broken or stolen while the property was not secured after his inspection but he nor the company was concerned enough to reach out to us. In response to the owner - our agent did contact the buyer's agent, and "the buyer's agent was very upset the inspector left your house unsecured. She let him know the liability it places on the buyers and was thankful you were home immediately following him leaving"... with that being said, you should have done a little bit to follow through on this complaint, but once again, you are so busy that you waited for me to reach out to you and left me a snarky remark that you have left "several complaints"... the outcome would have been far worse for you and your company. read more

See all

I could not be any happier with the pre-buy home inspection service I received from Banyan- particularly with the thoroughness of the report and the knowledge of the property I received. Seth was the consummate professional and receives bonus accolades for the efficient communication and availability leading up to, during and after the inspection. Home buying is tied to a timeline and having near instant access to his opinions and scheduling details has proven invaluable and made my process easier. Five stars and a "definitely recommend." read more

Seth actually performed two inspections for us as we tried to find a house. He was quick to respond and set the inspection dates. Saved us on one house and confirmed on the house we are buying. Very thorough and answers even our less knowledgeable questions. Would recommend strongly. read more

What a liar the owner is after he inspects our home. He doesn't know us. Really?

Seth did a home inspection on a house I am buying. He was thorough, highly efficient, and very accommodating to any questions that my representative had. He thoroughly explained everything he was looking at to her, advised on the severity of the problem, and offered helpful suggestions along the way. His written report contained a summary that outlines all the issues he assessed as important, and was clearly written and extremely easy to understand. He was recommended by a friend, and the recommendation was solid. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a home inspection in the Bradenton, FL area. read more

Cant say enough good things about this company. Seth is very kind, on time, follows face mask protocols and performs very through inspections. The turn around time to when Seth comes out to when you receive your report, depending what inspection(s) you need are usually the same day. The price couldn't be better for the high quality service you receive. I highly recommend Banyan Home Inspection Services LLC to everyone. read more

Our mistake, allowed the real estate agent to recommend an inspector because we were out of state. Inspector wEnt on and on at the inspection about what a great deal we got and house is in good shape. One of our main concerns was the roof and he washed away our concerns. Four months after owning house roof leaks. Roof is now being replaced and lots of rot damage.Roof had been leaking for a long time. Major expense of over 12000. Do not go with Seth if agent recommends. He may be very good but I would be careful if he and the real estate agent do a lot of business together. I hope no one has to experience anything like we have read more

When I tell you this company is the best I've ever dealt with I mean it. Timely, intelligent and efficient. I wish every experience was as good as this one. I'd give Seth 10 stars if I could!!!! read more

Seth is top notch, one of the best home inspectors in Florida. He is detailed oriented, thorough, timely, polite, and just a downright nice guy. I would not hesitate to refer him to all friends and family. Furthermore, he is very involved in the community by helping Veterans with mental health issues.He's a real gem! read more

Excellent and thorough inspection of property we were buying. Informative and helpful with local contacts for trades. The report was thorough, complete, and received quickly. Seth was on time, professional, and complete. Reasonably priced. We appreciate the service and recommend. read more

Seth is the owner and did our inspection. We couldn't be happier with his professional service! Highly recommended.

I used Seth on a job where they had some water leaking above the water heater and he was able to find the source and help my client get the problem fixed by a roofing contractor. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

I recently hired Seth to inspect a home we are buying. He was more thorough than I thought was possible and he took the time to point out even the most minuscule of details to me. Even though the sellers had mentioned they fixed certain things prior to inspection, he still inspected those areas and thankfully he did because there were still issues remaining. He potentially saved us thousands of dollars with his insight and knowledge. We will definitely use his services anytime we purchase a new home and I'd highly encourage anybody else to do the same. Excellent company with integrity and no compromise. read more

Seth inspected a home that my wife and I were buying. He was more thorough than any home inspector we've used in the past. As the home was 45+ years old it was important that it be inspected carefully and thoroughly. Seth identified a number of issues, as would be expected in a home of this age. But then he helped us prioritize the issues into those that were critical for the seller to correct before closing and those that we could consider correcting after the purchase if we chose. That was extremely helpful in our negotiations with the seller. We are now enjoying our new (to us) home, with the confidence that no significant problems exist! I highly recommend Seth and Banyan Home Inspection Services to anyone needing property inspection services! read more

I had some questions in regards to the overall home inspection process as I am a new home owner and looking to purchase another property. I was referred to Seth through a trusted business professional. When I reached out to him we promptly set a time to get together and discuss my questions over lunch. Seth is extremely professional and knowledgable. I will be using Seth and Banyan Hone Inspections for all my future needs and recommending him to all my friends, family members, coworkers, and business partners. Thank you again Seth you made this process very easy for myself and my family and put our minds at ease!!! read more
