Very thorough home inspection with a great, well written and laid out report! would recommend.

John inspected the duplex that I bought and was extremely professional but, more importantly, was extremely thorough and kind. He took the time to explain everything he was looking at and was very receptive to questions. I appreciated how comfortable he made me feel and cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

We're out of state buyers trying to purchase a home in Pittsburgh. John did a great job accommodating us for the next day and timely sending us the Inspection Report. The report was very thorough, detailed and accompanied with lots of pictures. We're not familiar with the process so we had quite a few follow up questions. John graciously spent time on a Saturday answering our questions. Highly recommend him and would be happy to work with him again! read more

John was very thorough in his inspection. He went everywhere and checked a lot of things that I completely missed. I am very grateful for his inspection. He also scheduled the inspection quickly and delivered his very detailed thorough report with lots of pictures within 24 hours. He also offered to answer any questions I had. I am very satisfied customer. read more

Citywide provided a very thorough and detail oriented inspection of a house we recently purchased. Took the time on a weekend to have an hour long conversation, patiently anwering our questions. Competetive price. Overall great experience with John. read more

John is superb at what he does. He was thorough, thoughtful, and educational. We learned a ton from chatting with him and was deeply appreciative of how observant and communicative he was about everything. We will absolutely go to him if we ever need another inspection done - hands down. read more

We're first time home owners, and we really don't know much about what to look at for houses. So we looked online to find a reliable house inspection service around Pittsburgh area, and found really good reviews on Citywide Home Inspections. John showed up early, got everything setted up really quickly, and was very informative and extra nice in explaining every little detail, and he was so thoughtful that if we could give a tip, we would! We are so grateful John was our home inspector and highly recommend him to any home buyers! read more

John is an excellent home inspector. He was responsive and helpful when I called to schedule the inspection. John arrived early on the day of the inspection and got to work right away. He was incredibly thorough and devoted a considerable amount of time explaining issues he discovered and detailing steps towards resolutions. As a woman, I felt that he was extremely respectful and never condescending when answering my questions. I received the report within 24 hours of the inspection and he was responsive to follow-up questions. I am grateful John was my home inspector and highly recommend him to any new home buyers! read more

John provided an excellent inspection for a property we were looking to purchase. He showed up early, and was very thorough with inspection, which he allowed me to accompany. In person, he explained everything he saw and took time to answer all my questions. The report itself came back just over 24 hours later, and is very dynamic and informative. It provides a summary at the beginning, lots of pictures, and helpful links to learn more info about the notes in the report. I would recommend John to any prospective buyer to get their house inspected. read more

John was great to work with. He was able to accommodate a quick turn around on an inspection, and his inspection was very thorough and helpful. John is very knowledgeable and was eager to explain everything. He went above and beyond to start radon tests early, and he was willing to stay as long as was necessary for the inspection itself. We received the inspection report promptly, just a day after the inspection. I would highly recommend the services of Citywide. read more

John was a true professional from start to finish with my home inspection. He immediately returned my message to schedule and provided my full report within 24 hours. While going through the house, he communicated and explained any concerns he wanted me to be aware of. I highly recommend Citywide Home Inspection to anyone wishing to inspection before buying. read more

The best home inspection we have ever had. John was extremely thorough when going through our future home. Things that I would have never thought to look at, even after making previous purchases, were examined. The report provided was top notch. Everything was in a logical order. Pictures of the actual structure as well as additional information for problem areas were provided. Not to mention how quickly the report came back. I feel 100% more confident in going in to purchase the home. read more

John from Citywide Home Inspections came highly recommended by our real estate agent, and it's easy to see why. The report he produced was highly detailed and comprehensive, helping us to negotiate for more money at the closing table, plus providing us with a helpful roadmap for where to address our attention once moving in. We've shown the inspection report to a few close relatives, and everyone remarked at how thorough it was. Very impressive! read more

very pleased with the scope of the inspection. John is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He answers all your questions and explains everything very satisfactorily. Highly recommend! read more

We hired John from Citywide Home Inspections to do a home inspection before closing on the purchase of our first home. This was a 2400 square foot home built in 1897 so there was plenty to inspect here! John was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and approachable. The inspection included all aspects of the home, including structural, electrical, plumbing, and other systems. Because a recent potential sale had fallen through, we were actually able to view a different inspection report before hiring John, and it quickly became clear that he goes above and beyond what other area home inspectors might do. For example, he walked out on the roof to inspect it whereas the other inspectors simply looked from ground level. John also identified some potential HVAC issues that the others had glossed over or missed entirely. Everything was documented thoroughly in writing and photos within the final report. John was very helpful in allowing my wife and I to accompany him through the home as he worked and explaining his findings to us as first time homeowners. He provided a good outlook on potential impact of these issues over time and approximate cost to address them, yet was also frank about suggesting where we might need other experts (e.g., an electrician or plumber) to come in. Overall, John's thorough report gave us a negotiating tool that helped us reach a fair deal with the seller and feel comfortable with the home we are moving into. read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers and we hired John Fleenor to inspect our home and he made our first home inspection so amazing and educational! He explained everything he was doing the whole time and he was very professional, polite, and informative. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Update: I have since shown the inspection report to a couple of engineers/contractors, who've responded by saying that John's report is probably the best they've ever seen in Pittsburgh. Can't say enough good things about John Fleenor and this home inspection report. Communication with him was clear, prompt, professional, and the inspection report was about 70 with at least 25 pages providing extremely well-documented details about the condition of the house. This is world's apart compared to an inspection done by another company. With the garage, for example, he noted issues with the roof material (something we didn't have access to), mortar types, dated fillings, sloping of walls, inside building materials, crevices and external cracks. That was just the garage. We are so grateful for his efforts. And I would definitely recommend. We trust his experience and work ethic, and would ask him for help again in the future. read more

I would highly recommend John to anyone in the Pittsburgh area looking to get a home inspection done on a home they're buying. He is extremely thorough during the inspection and in his report. It was super easy to schedule through his website and was easy to contact via phone when I had questions. He let me tag along for the inspection and explained everything he was doing, so I learned a ton! He got to the house early and had already set up the radon test too, so the test results and home inspection report were in my inbox the next day. He truly cares about the work that he does, and makes it a point to make sure you are aware of anything in the home. He treats you like family, and provides recommendations for other experts when he feels like something needs checked out more thoroughly. According to my real estate agent, he's the best in the business and I agree! read more

John at Citywide Home Inspections was the top recommendation from our real estate agent, and he quoted us a lower price than any other inspector we spoke to, because he offers a discount for doing home, pest, and radon inspections together. Scheduling on his website is easy, and you can also pay in advance online, which saves you from writing a check. John arrived 15 minutes early for the inspection, and we found out he had already visited the house to set up the radon test. He brought an extra pair of shoes to change into, to avoid tracking snow and mud throughout the house. We walked through the house with him, and he explained everything very clearly and was happy to answer all of our questions. He suggested future timelines for service and repairs on any findings that he did not consider urgent. The inspection took about two hours, and we received the full inspection report the next morning. Because we are buying in the dead of winter, the grounds and roof were completely covered in snow and could not be evaluated. He offered to come back to look at them if the snow melted before the end of our contingency period--which thankfully it did. He called with his findings as soon as he'd looked at the roof, answered more of our questions, and he's providing a supplemental report for the roof inspection. This was at no additional cost to us, and in time to meet our contingency deadline. read more

John was thorough and detail oriented. He took the time to explain to me what was going on and what we needed to do about it. He did a great job! read more

Having never had a home inspection before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm super glad I chose Citywide Home Inspections because John was more thorough, helpful, and detailed than I ever would've imagined. I'm chronically early everywhere I go and expected to wait around, but he arrived at the house at the same time as me and dove right in. His report (which I received the very next day) was also very detailed, but even before I got to see it, I knew what to expect in it. This is because even though I didn't follow him around while he inspected the house, if he saw something important, he tracked me down to show me and discuss what it was, what it could turn into, and options for how it could be fixed. I'll never use another home inspection provider, and I'll be recommending John at Citywide Home Inspections to everyone. read more

John is a friendly professional who is responsive and patient. We hired John to complete our home inspection for a home we would be purchasing. He did a completely thorough inspection and his report was better than any I have ever seen with respect to the details provided and the photos used to show the issues. He offers good referrals and doesn't hold back his opinions. He explains issues in plain language. I highly recommend using John. read more

John was the best home Inspection I ever had, and I had purchase 5 houses. I will kept him as my personal inspector when I do more purchase in the near future!!!! read more

I am a real estate professional that has used John's services several times. Citywide Home Inspections came highly recommended by a top agent in my office after I had difficulties with a previous company not showing up for an appointment. You'll receive professional service by an inspector that is consistently on time (even early) dressed well and well spoken. Almost all inspectors are priced the same but not all of them are as professional. I'd recommend Citywide to my closest friends and family and would use them the next time I purchase a home. read more

John at Citywide is amazing. It was so easy to contact him and schedule an appointment (all online). He completed the home inspection and sent an INCREDIBLY detailed report the same night! I've spoke to people who spent far more than I did, and received very little for it. I found John to be an incredible bargain, and according to my realtor (over 30 years experience in this area) John is the best in the business. And though this doesn't really matter, I've met him several times socially and he is a super nice guy. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Excellent. John is VERY thorough and took the time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend.

I've used John for two commercial building inspections, and been impressed both times. He's easy to work with, fair, knowledgeable, and thorough. On one building he eagerly spent 30 minutes sliding around in a dirt-bottom crawl space under the building that I'm sure the last inspector I worked with would have just shone a flashlight into and moved on. He's definitely gone the extra mile for me in situations like that a number of times, and I'd recommend him highly because of it. read more

John is professional, reasonably priced, and thorough. I was very pleased. And I will hire him again. read more

Citywide Home Inspections was great to work with! John was professional and very helpful. He was happy to answer any question that I had and gave me a lot of useful suggestions. John was also able to get the report completed and delivered on a tight schedule. You will get more than what you pay for here. read more

John was very thorough and took his time to look at everything. He showed up earlier than our appointment and was already in the house when I arrived. He pointed out things that I would have never figured out and answered all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable and therefore I highly recommend him to all potential home buyers. read more

This is my first house that i am purchasing. When i arrived (I arrived 10 minutes early)at the home he was already there and was already inspecting the roof. John was very professional and knowledgeable. He also was very friendly. As we were working through the house for the inspection he was being very through and answering my questions along the way. When the inspection concluded he discussed options on anything that I/he felt was any concern. Any house anybody buy comes with issues but he did an amazing job. read more

John was thorough in his inspection and report. He was also very patient. I had many questions and he took the time to review my questions. He was also understanding when I brought my children to both home inspections he completed. read more
