I've used Steve at this inspection company 3 maybe 4 times in order to check out townhouses I…read morewanted to buy. The service is impeccable and Steve's attention to detail saved me money as he found things that maybe another less experienced inspector might skip over. If I could give this company 10 stars in my review, I would! But since only 5 are allowed that's what I will give them. Hands over and above, choose this company over the others.

I reached out to several home inspection companies for quotes, and Desert State Home Inspections…read moreimmediately stood out from the rest. From the moment I sent a text message, Leigh responded right away--professional, clear, and incredibly efficient. She had me scheduled for an inspection within minutes. We never even spoke over the phone, yet her communication and customer service were top-notch. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the appointment the day before. A full refund was processed immediately--no questions asked. Leigh was so understanding and accommodating of our situation, which left a lasting impression. Fortunately the following week, I was able to reschedule and once again, Leigh made it happen seamlessly. Our assigned inspector Marc Freislinger came out on a Sunday, arriving early and already working when we got there. He was friendly, thorough, and easy to talk to. During the review, he walked us through everything clearly and even offered valuable advice on what to ask the builder regarding repairs. That same evening, he sent a detailed inspection report--complete with clear photos and notes--just as promised. I can't recommend Desert State Home Inspections highly enough. Their professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart. Their pricing is very fair compared to other companies, and they even offer a $100 discount if you use them again before your one-year builder walk through. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and customer-focused inspection company, Desert State Home Inspections absolutely deserves your business. They certainly have mine for years to come. Thanks again Leigh & Marc!

We are out of town buyers and our agent recommended Ben from Patterson to do our pre-purchase…read moreinspection. He was very professional from the start. He gave us a very good price that included sewer scope. We had a scheduling and a waiver issue with the builder on his first attempt where we were frustrated and he calmly told us, we just gotta "roll with it". Inspection day came and we did the wrap up via facetime with our agent. The inspection was throrough and very complete. He explained everything and went over each item. We will be calling him again for follow up before our warranty ends. Thank you.

Thorough inspection. Reasonable pricing. I added a sewer…read moreinspection and he took several videos of the sewer and identified a short stretch of old orangeburg. But the thing that I really appreciated was that after the inspection, they've already been paid, and I'm hiring people to do the repairs. I texted the inspector several times for follow up details and help weeding out the bs of some of the tradespeople trying to sell me stuff. He was responsive and helpful, even though he didn't need to be. Turnaround time was also good. I hired them and they were out for the inspection within a couple of days. The report came same day. I'd recommend Patterson for your home inspection.

Greg upfront told us how he would walk through our home, yard and garage and that once completed he would review the findings. During the review, he talked us through everything and provided clear details regarding repairs. Within an a few hours we received a detailed inspection report, complete with clear photos and notes, just as promised. Greg was absolutely professional and respectful during his inspection and would highly recommend AJF for any home inspections. Greg gets 10 out of 10 stars!!!

I did not have a good experience with this company…read more I had very little opportunity to personally inspect the property before the purchase so i was definitely relying on the inspector to do their job. The inspector found many minor issues but also misidentified a number of "code violations". The seller was a licensed plumber and pointed out that the inspector was wrong in many places which didn't sit too well with us. After the inspection I got multiple misleading phone calls from the "client success" team. All they wanted to do was sell me additional services but they refused to tell me what they wanted to talk about beforehand. This happened repeatedly where I would get a call or an email saying they wanted to call to talk about how the inspection went and "some other items". When I asked what "other items" I would never get a straight answer. I finally just replied in an email that I wasn't super happy with the inspection and had no interest in any other services from the company But then the real bad stuff came out. Major rot in half the windows in my house. I discovered it after less than a day in the house and it was clearly evident. The bill will be $50,000 to replace the windows. I placed a complaint with the company and was asked to supply documentation which I did with copious pictures and estimates for repair. I got the response I expected - windows wouldn't open at the time of inspection, screens in the way, etc. - so we don't have any liability. When I sent pictures of fixed windows (they don't ever open) and no screens that clearly showed rot they then offered to refund the inspection fee but only if I agreed to an NDA that is clearly intended to avoid bad social media exposure. I would not ever use this company again. Their service simply didn't do what I needed it to do. And I don't need a sales job for extermination services and relocation services, etc. from my inspection company. I am guessing the owner will respond to this and they have every right to. But I would have traded all the ticky tack stuff the inspector did call out for him having seen even one of the windows that clearly had moisture damage and suggesting we look into that further.

Steven Boyle recently conducted our inspection on a townhome in Scottsdale and we were thoroughly…read moresatisfied. Really appreciated how detail oriented Steven was; he noticed things that we hadn't during our prior visits to the property. It was also great to sit down with Steven after the inspection to review his report together, ask questions, and go look at some of his findings in real time. Really glad we chose to go with Advantage. They were the best combination of good reviews, high volume of reviews, and price. Also the offer to warranty parts of the property was a differentiator in the marketplace. Will definitely hire Advantage again for our next inspection.

If You Actually Want to Close Your Transaction... Look Elsewhere…read more A professional inspection should inform, educate, and objectively document conditions. It shouldn't unnecessarily create panic, confusion, or fear that can derail a transaction. The irony is that the people who ultimately pay the price are the buyer and seller -- the two people who trusted a professional to provide an objective assessment so they could make an informed decision. If you're a buyer purchasing your dream home, understand that the way an inspection company words and presents its findings can matter just as much as the findings themselves. If you're a seller, understand that an overly dramatic inspection report can potentially turn a legitimate negotiation into a transaction-ending event. So, if you enjoy unnecessary drama, transaction-threatening language, and reports that make you wonder whether you've accidentally purchased a disaster zone instead of a house, this might be the inspection company for you. For everyone else: Steer clear. There are plenty of qualified inspectors who can identify legitimate defects, explain their significance, and give buyers the information they actually need -- without apparently auditioning for the role of "The Inspector Who Killed the Deal." Do your homework. Ask questions. And choose an inspector whose priority is objective reporting -- not making sure everyone leaves the transaction terrified.

Don't do it to yourself by cutting corners on a huge investment.

I had a long term pipe leak in my bathroom (fixed by a plumber) and he was out that same week to test the mold and the following week to remove and dry it out.

He was half the price of another company as he is one-man company and doesn't need to charge for all the overhead and other garbage. I would reccomend him to ANYONE and would only use him again.
