This was my second time working with a home inspector, but my first time using Copperstate. Phill came out to do the inspection and was very punctual and friendly. More importantly, he did an excellent job with the inspection! He sent over two reports -- one that covered everything in detail and one that summarized the most important points. The reports were color coded to make it easier to identify the critical items from the less significant ones and the pictures were clear. He even marked some of the pictures with arrows to point out the specific item he was noting. This is very helpful for knowing what you're getting into when you purchase a home and also later on down the road if you are making the repairs slowly, but surely. Having this report to reference when describing the job to the contractors who will be making the repairs is invaluable. It was also a really great added touch for him to go through the home with me afterward to discuss his findings in-person. He was able to explain the gamut of issues, whether it was electrical, plumbing, masonry, pests, landscaping, or something else, he knew the issue and the fix for it. I was very impressed with his skill level, certifications, and personability. read more

We had an independent home inspection performed at the advice of a friend, and I would HIGHLY recommend Copperstate Inspections LLC. October will mark the one-year anniversary of moving into our new home in Barney Farms in Queen Creek, Arizona. Phillip was professional, personable and was able to point out several things we hadn't even noticed. I appreciated his transparency and willingness to educate me on the need-to-knows. He also made recommendations on things that are nice-to-know that we can do to the home to protect various items from damage as time goes by. Phillip is a local resident of San Tan Valley, husband, and a father of four girls. He has been inspecting homes for 22 years. We absolutely love our home, and intend to live here for many years to come. This is why having a second set of eyes was so important to us, especially for structural items. We received the detailed report complete with photos the same night! The cost for everything we received was a tremendous value. Protect your investment. I highly recommend and trust this company and would absolutely use them again! Thank you Phillip! read more

Buying a home with a holiday closing, meant a lot to do with not many business days to do it. Prior to the Thanksgiving holiday I contacted several companies looking for quotes and availability. There were several on Yelp that had great reviews but due to the holiday had no availability in my time frame. Phil with Copperstate Inspections was one of the quickest to reply, and had the soonest availability. I am so glad that I chose to use him. During the inspection walk-through, he gave me great tips/tricks on how to repair easy items and keep up on home maintenance myself. He also brought up great points for the seller to address before closing. More than that, he was warm & friendly in person, not to mention easy to talk to, which I really appreciated. He said he would send the report by the end of the day, which he did. I was able to get additional second opinions on time and finalize my transaction. His price was fair and the process was smooth. Thanks again Phil! read more

Phill Gaines of Copperstate Inspections is hands-down one of the best in the business! From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for us as clients. Scheduling was easy and flexible, which made the process stress-free. Phill conducted both the home and termite inspections with incredible attention to detail, providing a comprehensive and easy-to-understand report that gave me complete confidence in my home purchase. The best part was the walk-through--Phill took the time to explain everything thoroughly, pointing out important details I would have never noticed on my own. He shared a wealth of tips and practical advice on home maintenance and care, which was incredibly helpful for me as a homeowner. If you want an inspector who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in helping you make informed decisions, look no further than Phill Gaines and Copperstate Inspections. Highly recommended! read more

Phill was a fantastic inspector to work with! He was incredibly thorough and went above and beyond what I've seen other inspectors note in the past. I was very impressed by his attention to detail and honestly just his knowledge of all things construction and home ownership was very refreshing. As a non-local, purchasing for the first time in AZ, he was very eager to explain area specific things that I should understand about the home we're purchasing that I wouldn't have understood otherwise being from a different part of the country. The walk through was very valuable and I'm glad I flew in for it! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again and I might just give him a ring if I have a question about my new house ;) read more

Phillip has been great! He has inspected 2 homes that we were looking at buying. He is responsive, professional, easy to schedule with ( I work retail so my hours are erratic at best), and thorough. Thanks to his findings, we got a contracter to estimate what repairs were going to be for the roof of the first home... $7000! I'm so glad that we found that out before it was too late to walk away! The second home was in much better shape structurally, yet he still gave us tips and advice to help us maintain it in the years to come. I highly recommend Copperstate Inspections. Thank you Copperstate, and thank you Phillip, for excellent service! read more

I had an emergency situation requiring a home inspection for a new build. Phillip absolutely came thru in the pinch. I needed to schedule an inspection with a 1 day window. Phillip not only replied to my request on a Sunday but agreed to go to my new house the next day for the inspection. Phillip arrived exactly on time and did a very thorough job. Phillip took pictures and wrote a very detailed description of all of the issues he found. I would highly recommend Phil for all of your initial and follow up inspections. Thank you Phil for being there at a very stressful time. Marty read more

I had a fantastic experience with Copperstate Inspections LLC. Phil was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process, demonstrating a level of thoroughness that really gave us peace of mind. He did a fantastic job with both the home and termite inspections for the property we are buying in Mesa, AZ. What stood out most was how he took the time to explain his findings clearly, ensuring we understood the condition of the home beyond just the written report. If you are looking for a professional who is detail-oriented and easy to work with during a home purchase, I highly recommend Phil! read more

My wife, our Realtor and myself met Phillip Gaines at the house right after he performed the inspection. He took the time to go through every detail inside and outside of the home. He was very thorough in his descriptions and pointed out items that we missed on our initial inspection. Several points that needed to be addressed with the seller before closing. He went up on the roof, somewhere we would have not been able to look and found tiles that needed replacement. This definitely saved us on potential roof leaks down the line. I highly recommend his services. I rate them 5 stars read more

We are having a new home built in Gold Canyon Arizona and we currently reside out of state. Since we are not available to observe the construction as frequently as we would prefer, we hired Phillip Gaines and Copperstate Inspections. Phillip was visited our property on two occasions and will be with us for the final inspection upon completion of our home. He has been timely, thorough and and very detailed in his inspections. It has been a pleasure working with Phillip and Copperstate Inspections and I highly recommend this company. read more

I was so impressed with Phil and Copperstate Inspections. I'm a Realtor and have dealt with many inspectors over the years. Phil was very prompt, efficient, knowledgable and a great communicator. He went over everything verbally - took the buyers around the entire house (many inspectors don't do that!) and prepared a logical, understandable and effective report with lots of photos. The buyers found Phil, but I will be calling him for my next inspection!!! Kate Harvey HomeSmart Elite Group 602.769.0303 KateHarvey@Realtor.com read more

Phill was very thorough and professional during a recent inspection for a home purchase. I found him to be very helpful with recommendations on how/what items could be useful fixes vs those that are more serious and need attention prior to completing a home purchase. His post-inspection report was received shortly after the home visit, was very detailed and included clear photos of items in question. I found the whole process to be a pleasant experience and would recommend Phill to anyone with home inspection needs. read more

We've hired Phill Gaines multiple times now, as we have purchased a couple of homes over the last few years. In addition to inspecting our homes, he's also inspected our family's home as well. Phill is extremely thorough and detailed during the inspection process. Once Phill has completed his inspection, he walks us through his findings, recommendations and next steps. Phill is knowledgeable and we highly recommend him! Phill is just an all around nice guy! Get in touch with Phill for your next home inspection. read more

This was a great experience. I am by trade a plumber, I have been in construction for 30 years, and let me tell you how impressed I was with Phillip! Very impressed!!! After his initial inspection Phil walked me through the entire property from front to back, inside and out. I honestly have to say he didn't miss a thing! And found a few things I didn't see. Very well worth the cost, and the info was worth every penny! I would like to thank Phillip and Copperstate Inspections for a job well done! read more

Phillip was amazing to work with. He was on time, professional, thorough with his work and overall just a very nice and friendly guy. You can tell he's been in this business for 20+ years and he definitely knows what he's doing. He drove across the valley for us and was able to provide us with an in depth report of everything the very next day. We used him to inspect a new build and will definitely be using him again for our 11-month inspection. Highly recommend him for any of your inspection needs! read more

Copperstate inspected a home that we are currently in the process of purchasing. I must say, the entire process was flawless! The were flexible with our schedule, timely, courteous, and extremely thorough. This is not our first home, but we learned so much from them in the little time we spent together. We left the inspection feeling respected, confident, and informed. We ABSOLUTELY recommend Copperstate to anyone who wants to get an expert opinion at a reasonable price :) read more

I would have never found the items that Phil did I will be scheduling my 11 month inspection with him. If you are looking for company look no further call Phil. THANK YOU SO Much Phil read more

Made the process painless! Phillip Gaines was not only personable but extremely thorough. My husband and I arrived early in hopes to take measurements of the home while he was inspecting, and he was not only welcoming but took time to add helpful hints to what it was we are looking to have done to the home. Respectful, down to earth and honest in his inspection we couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us in this process. Thanks so much! read more
