I've used Steve at this inspection company 3 maybe 4 times in order to check out townhouses I wanted 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. read more

I reached out to several home inspection companies for quotes, and Desert State Home Inspections immediately 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! read more

They were prompt and very professional. Communication was excellent. I'll use their service again.

Steve was amazing! As a first-time homebuyer with a new build, I had no idea what to look for, but he walked me through everything clearly and showed me key areas of concern. He found multiple issues--some that could've cost thousands later--and explained them in a way I could understand. His attention to detail and focus on safety were outstanding. I really appreciate his professionalism and highly recommend him! read more

Would definitely use again for future home inspections. Very thorough, great pictures and detailed report. Used for a 12 month walk through. Price definitely on par with other providers. Showed up on time and spent probably two hours in the home, very respectful, and they go through the report before leaving on any high concern items. read more

I had a 11 month Builder's Warranty inspection done on my home this week by Desert State Home Inspections. Steve arrived on time, was very polite and professional. I was impressed by his very careful inspection and atttention to detail. I received the final report later that day complete with pictures to send to my home builder. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

We did a refi and they were on point with the lender in contacting us when we were told they would call. Overall, very happy with the friendly professionalism. read more

I was very pleased with Marc and the whole process. The scheduling was done in a timely manner as well as receiving the report. I would recommend working with them again. read more

Marc Freislinger was on time for our inspection and thoroughly explained the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained the major items he was going to highlight on the report. We received our inspection report the same day and we ended up submitting the report to our home builder to schedule repairs. That report was worth every penny because our home builder scheduled all of the repairs within a few days. There were issues highlighted on the report that we would have never noticed until they caused a major problem. Marc did a fantastic job. read more

I was very impressed with the level of communication, as well as the attention to detail. Very easy to work with. The level of thoroughness was above and beyond what I previously had experienced. The verbal highlights from the written detailed report were explained such that issues were easy to understand. If I could give 6+ stars, I would. Highly recommended and definitely would be my go-to inspector in the future. read more

Saved me a boat load on their recommendation of a roof inspector after feelings like any damage was covered and painted over. Had a roof estimate and was needing replacement that was going to be 25k. Could not make the deal but they saved me thousands! I used them for my next home inspection :) Thank you! Same day write up and photos. read more

Desert State has been a pleasure to work with when buying our home. The inspector was on time, did a detailed home inspection, gave us a report at the end of our inspection! We also used their services when building our home and each time were very pleased with their inspections! We will use them again, and have give their name to many of our friends over the years. read more

Pete Leschniok did my inspection, and he was very thorough and very informative. It was also easy to schedule an appointment, they reached out right away. Definitely will use this company's services again. read more

Desert State gave me excellent advice on managing my relationship with our homebuilder, in addition to giving the house a very thorough going over. They were very detail oriented, even regarding aspects of the house that it technically wasn't their responsibility to pay attention to. Extremely good value! read more

This is the second time we have utilized the services of Desert State Home Inspections and have been very pleased with the quality of work performed. The inspector was very knowledgeable, personable, professional and thorough. Most recently they performed our one year inspection and will have them back to confirm the builders in fact completed the work since it's in areas hard to access (attic). We would have never known about the issues without the inspection and a few are serious safety issues. Highly Recommend Desert State Home Inspections. read more

Matt came out to do a home inspection for a property we ended up buying back in April-May earlier this year. He did a phenomenal job. The inspection report came with multiple pages, with pictures and a description of the condition of each part of the home, including things that he would recommend need to be looked into, such as being fixed or replaced. This truly helped us during the home buying process. On top of that, he is very kind and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him! read more

This is a great company. Steve was great. He was very thorough. When I tested a few things and asked him questions he was gracious and didn't treat me like an idiot, he was helpful and friendly. I can be a handful with making sure things are done thoroughly when it comes to things like this, and he was very patient and awesome. I felt he was really on my side without being dramatic about the home's issues. He was careful not to over-step his bounds on what he could and couldn't advise on, and very professional. This company has great reviews for a reason. They were middle of the road price-wise, but compared to the cheaper guys' reviews I would advise steering clear of trying to save a buck with a lower reviewed company to avoid missing a very costly repair expense. read more

Steve completed our inspection and went above and beyond our expectations. He was far more thorough than our previous inspectors we have worked with and saved us from buying a house with substantial structural issues. We look forward to having him on our next inspection. read more

This company has wonderful customer service. From the point of your first call , all the way through the end, the women I worked with was absolutely amazing. The inspector works very hard, but there is a ton of emphasis on items that would be cosmetics vs. items that are real issues, like the electric, the bones of the house, the pool, the HVAC, the roof, and so on. Why I gave four stars comes down to the report. The report had missing core problems identified during the inspection. The template, format, and layout of the report are at best in need of some serious attention. The report focuses on more content and didn't include the pictures where needed and or a format that allowed the future homeowner ease of knowing what is a "real" problem vs more of a "code" problem vs a potential issue. You have to reference the document definitions in order to try and track what is really being identified in the report. When there was something serious identified, it wasn't really easily called out. The report lacked the true code and life safety language needed to interpret the issues ifcand when identified. Other than the report, We beleive this company is a good company to use for your home inspection. read more

Matt and his team were super responsive and made the process so easy for us. They had it all set up to book, pay, and sign forms online, and sent the home inspection report over the night of the inspection. they were very professional and provided wonderful customer service. Would definitely recommend! read more

Very thorough, should I need an inspection in the future I will definitely go with Desert State.

We used Desert State to inspect two homes that we were recently considering buying. Their inspaection led to us refraining from buying one and completing the contract to buy the other. They were meticulous in finding out what was sound, what wasn't, and referring us to other experts to further inspect areas they were not specialist in. They came out to re-inxpect the punchlist items that developed in order to complete the sale of the second hoime at a greatly reduced price. I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Awesome and thorough. Even our realtor was surprised by the fact we got a printed hand out at the end of the inspection, and our inspector went through every single thing with us. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Matt at Desert State Home Inspections is excellent at what he does--he communicated clearly, very knowledgeable, punctual. Matt's inspection report illustrates concerns with photos. Both Matt and his staff are very kind and personable as well. Recommended! read more

Christy and Matt are the best. Christy took care of appointment setup perfectly. Great communicator. Answered all my questions. and itemized everything i needed to know. Details were perfect. even contacted the realtor to be sure the gas was turned on. I contacted a number of 5-star companies on Yelp. As soon as i talked with Christy, Desert State Home was the clear winner. Matt arrived early, and was incredibly patient with all my questions. I learned a LOT about every detail of my house. He took great photos of everything, missed NOTHING, and sent the detailed report over ASAP. he was professional, knowledgeable, REALLY efficient, smart and a great communicator. He explained everything he did in an intelligent easy to understand way. Learned that Christy & Matt are married, bought the business from Christy's folks who created the great long-time reputation of Desert Home. I just can't say enough good things about these two. Home buying is stressful. but they made this part easy. So grateful that I found them. read more

I just recently purchased my first home (this is HUGE you guys, I'm known to be a wanderer). I was living in Denver while going through this process and needed to find a good home inspector. I made at least a dozen inquiries via the yelp app and contacted them all for a quote. Matt from Desert State was the first to respond and he patiently answered all of my questions and then patiently waited while I compared pricing. He graciously offered to match pricing if I found something lower, which I didn't need to take advantage of because his pricing was right on point. Matt completed my inspection within a couple of days and called to follow up on his report since I was still in another state and not present for the inspection. I found him to be very thorough and, again, very patient with all of my questions. :) The inspection report was easy to read and easy to understand. This helped me make an informed decision about the house I was purchasing. Definitely recommend Desert State if you are looking for an amazing home inspection. read more

My ten day inspection period started on the Thursday before the 4th of July weekend so this limited my time frame to get an inspector so I turned to Yelp. Desert State called promptly after my Yelp quote request and gave me a very reasonable quote, and we ended up scheduling for the Wednesday after the holiday, which was day number 6, plenty of time to spare. Mike arrived on time and was very thorough with his inspection, we provided a summary report on the spot and a detailed report with pictures later that day. Luckily our potential new home was in pretty good shape, but he found a handful of things we need to have repaired by the seller. They also arranged a termite inspection by Termite Protection Control, who was also prompt and thorough and found evidence of termites, I am glad I chose to do this, Star at DSHI highly recommended it and it was worth the $50, now the seller is going to pay the $500 for the termite treatment not me! That $500 savings more than paid the the inspections. I got three quotes and HSHI were in the middle on price, their five star rating, and the professional handling of the initial phone call by Star was the reason I went with them. Top notch and trustworthy, and friendly. Some of the other 5 star companies we're a little cocky when quoting and not to mention more a lot more expensive. One owner even talked down to me when I told him he was the highest quote. I just did not feel comfortable with either of the two other choices, with their phone approach and attitude even with their great reviews. Looking forward to closing on my new home! Overall great experience, Mike didn't stress us out about the small things every house has on an inspection but he emphasized the real concerns. Will use them again for sure. read more

I've lost count of how many inspections Desert State Home Inspections has performed for my clients but it is easily 50+. Having worked with several other inspectors over my years as a Realtor so I know what to look for in a home inspection company. DSHI is thorough, flexible, friendly, reasonably priced and professional. Their reports are easy to read and provide a wealth of information. They answer any question I or my clients have. Everyone at DSHI is willing to help from the initial appointment with Star on the phone to the day of the inspection with Mike, Mark or Matt, to follow up after the sale of the home. I often call on the inspectors for advice when my clients have chosen a different company. Theres no question a home inspection is worth every penny when buying a home. Desert State Home Inspections is a great company to work with. read more

Steve Chase with Desert State Hone Inspections has done a home inspection for my last two purchases. He does a very thorough job and is an extremely nice guy willing to answer all my questions. read more

They were really flexible with scheduling times, and they were responsive. The inspector seemed very detail oriented and was able to identify many updates/repairs that needed to be done to the house we were buying. Thank you! read more

I would highly recommend Desert State Home Inspections. They recently inspected my home prior to my purchase. The report was very thorough and clearly stated any possible issues/concerns and existing issues. The inspector was willing to stay after the inspection to answer any questions and talk about his findings. The turn around time for the finalized written report was short. The inspectors are on time, call before arrival, and are meticulously neat. They take their time to inspect any and all areas, and then take time to answer any of your questions. The office staff is helpful in scheduling at a convenient time. You won't find a more reputable home inspection company to meet your needs and answer your questions. I highly recommend them - I know I will use them again in the future. Cynthia read more

I would... and DO... recommend Desert State Home Inspections to any friends, family, and clients. I am a realtor and work with Matt quite a bit. He is a great guy, and a great inspector. He is thorough, approachable, and always does the right thing. I can honestly say that he has saved my clients THOUSANDS of dollars by spotting problems in homes that we would have otherwise not caught! I trust him so much, that when I bought my home, he was the inspector I asked to look at my house. I pride myself in doing business right and treating my clients like family and I only work with people who believe the same thing. Desert State Home Inspections will treat you right! read more

This is the second time I have worked with Matt - so pleased with his going one step further every time. Matt saved me from buying a home I was in love with however it turned out there were substantial repairs needed. He went out of his way to complete an inspection even though he and his wife had theater/dinner plans (so sorry). He is prompt, very very knowledgeable and an honest man. Would recommend this crew without reservation! read more

Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly service overall. Was pleased from the beginning when I asked for a quote. Everything was detailed on the report and Steve was friendly and professional during the inspection. He was on time and walked us through and showed us everything he saw. Thanks Steve! read more

Steve was on time and provided a very thorough inspection. This inspection was related to my first real estate investment and I had a lot of questions to ensure everything was covered. Steve answered all my questions and provided a ton of information regarding the systems of the house. I highly recommend Steve at Desert State Home Inspections to anyone who is needing an inspection completed. read more

We had Jason C. inspect a home we are buying. He was so detail oriented and answered all of our questions. I feel he has a vast knowledge of building information. Inspection was on time and the report came quickly. Thank you for making the process easy! Would recommend! read more

We were happy with the thorough inspection but feel like we were ripped off for paying extra on a pool inspection. The inspector didn't know about salt pools and one month later we have a badly corroded salt cell. We're out $1400 when we could've had seller credit us for this. Also, home warranty won't cover it. Lesson learned hire an actual pool inspector. read more

I hired Matt Fey for a home inspection and he was phenomenal. He knows his job very well: electrical, plumbing, structural, appliances, windows, flooring, roofing. Mr. Fey is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed! read more

Matt was great to work with. Very thorough and professional. Everything was presented in an easy-to-understand manner and the follow-up paperwork was first class. Highly recommended! read more

I hired Matt for two property inspections. He was amazing. He Did the inspection within 3 business days of the signed contract. His reports are super detailed and he spent four hours doing the inspection and sent me a report within 24 hours. He spent a good 30 minutes after the inspection going through the report. I walked out of one property following his report. I would hire Matt at any time. Super honest and knowledgeable. read more
