Frankie was thorough with his inspection of the house we're buying, and clear in the explanations of what he found. His write up was equally thorough and clear. He was friendly and professional, as well. read more

Karl was awesome and had a ton of knowledge. He also had field experience which is huge! Thanks again.

Had an inspection done on a house that we bought last year. Less than a year has passed since we bought the house, and we have been given estimates of almost $10,000, if not over $10,000 due to items that they missed read more

We requested a home inspection for a home we are in the process of buying. Karl took his time going through and over everything. He took his time to look at concerns that I had while looking around and was very patient and thoughtful with my concerns. We got back a detailed report with pictures that also had a color-coded system showing everything he had inspected and what needed work. The price is very reasonable, and Karl is super nice! read more

We used Duke City Inspections as part of our home inspection and termite inspection prior to closing on a new home purchase. Our inspector Frankie was very friendly, professional, and thorough. Frankie identified every concern he had with the property, and the information was recorded and communicated clearly in the user-friendly electronic report provided to us and our realtor. This inspection and report was used to negotiate repairs with the seller. We would use Duke City Inspections again and recommend them to anyone in similar circumstances! read more

The inspection was very through and the inspector (Karl) was very patient and explained things throughly. I would use them again.

Very thorough and meticulous. Very professional and comprehensive work. Highly recommentd

Shane was thorough, efficient, and explained everything coming out of the inspection in a really clear way. Highly recommend them! Great price too! read more

This is our second time going with duke city inspections, and they are well worth the price. All major inspections under one roof. They take care of everything from full home inspections to sewer, termites, and mold. Highly recommend them! Shane was our inspector, and afterwards he walked us through everything that he saw answered all of our questions, and visually pointed things out and explained next steps for us. Hands down best people to work with. read more

Frankie did a thorough job inspecting the property I am about to purchase as a first time homebuyer. I already knew about a few of the issues with the house, but he caught many more that helped me negotiate repairs before I close. Most notably he found poly piping in the house which I was told had all been replaced already. This saved me a big headache later down the road. I am now more confident going into making the biggest purchase of my life and would recommend Duke City Inspections in the future. read more

Rudy was efficient and extremely thorough. We really appreciate all the work that went in to his inspection, and he was so willing to walk you through what he'd find if you happen to be there during the inspection. read more

Continue to find Duke's failures. I specifically asked to check the air ducts due to my severe asthma. He checked one and said it was fine. It is not. Another cost to have a pro clean the whole system of ducts - not at all what I wanted to do living here with my lung damage. I would have had it cleaned before moving in if he had been able to do his job ethically and competently. So mad. read more

My mother Barbara had her house inspection done by Duke City Inspections. We would highly recommend your company, because of our interaction with Rudy. Rudy arrived before the appointment to be ready to start right at 0900. My mom appreciated his patience as he explained everything to us as he did a very thorough inspection of the entire house. He checked so many things that we would never have thought of. We obtained the formal report same day in the evening with many applicable pictures. read more

Highly rated for a reason, they are good. The inspector Shane spent a very long time thoroughly inspecting our soon-to-be small home. Gave great feedback and had the report available with lots of pictures the same day. Nice web interface breaking everything down into sections in the report. Thanks, Shane, and Duke City Inspections. read more

Duke City Inspections was very thorough and identified issues that I missed or didn't realize were safety issues. Thanks Danny for your professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, and detail oriented report! read more

They do not report on extensive paint damage throughout the whole house, which is apparently industry standard to not report on it. Buyer beware. I think its not fair to pay $500+ dollars, only to have them tell you that they don't report on paint damage which can cost thousands, and then send report to opposing realtors. Sellers "sprayed" walls with disinfectant which damaged the paint and because of this company I'm left to foot the bill or lose earnest money. read more

See all

Dylan came by and did a very thorough inspection of our home. As a realtor in my pre-retirement, I worked with countless inspectors and Dylan was one of the best! Friendly, prompt, and professional. The report was in my inbox that evening! Thank you Dylan! read more

Danny was very professional, showed up on time, told me exactly his plan and implemented in the time he said it would take. I got his written assessment that same evening. Highly recommend Duke City Inspections, and Danny! read more

I've bought and sold a number of houses over the years, and had inspections on both ends. I've had different experiences with the various inspection companies, and Duke City is very much at the top of the list for many reasons. The first is how responsive the staff is to inquiries, call backs, emails...correspondence in any form is a breeze. The office is reliable. I had many questions initially AND after I scheduled an inspection, and they never got impatient, always answered fully and gave more pertinent info for my question. I loved working with them on the business end. I saw a number of reviews, and Rudy the inspector kept popping up. I was able to request him as my inspector, no problem, and he showed up as I had hoped, not just on time, but a bit early. He texted that morning saying he'd be there at the appointed time, and then gave an update close to the time of arrival. Talk about feeling confident in what was coming. Rudy was very thorough, went the extra mile when I wanted something even more specific, never balked at any of my requests. He was more than happy to be shadowed and answered all my questions with enthusiasm. And he knows what he's talking about. I do all my own work on the house, so I know he knows. He was an absolute delight to work with, super communicative, pleasant, and again, thorough. Paying online was a breeze. After the inspection, I paid and within a couple hours, I had my report, and it is filled with excellent photos clearly showing anything referenced. The report was in-depth and complete, easy to understand, everything spelled out. And this might not matter to many, but to me using spell check and taking the extra second to punctuate properly is important. That's why Rudy's report was so easy to read and understand. He took as much care with his report as he did with the house inspection. Both were exceptional. I had 2 additional services done as well by Rudy - a sewer scope and termite inspection. I'm familiar with pipe inspection equipment and was impressed with his equipment - he scoped throughout the house and to the city's line, and we were able to see the condition of all, determine what kind of pipe - copper, cast iron... Duke City Inspections was priced right in the middle of the 4 inspection companies I called. $ Value for service is very high! read more

I wanted to share my experience with Duke City Inspections after discovering a significant issue in my home shortly after moving in. We hired Duke City Inspections before purchasing our home, trusting their expertise to identify potential problems. However, within less than a year of living here, we noticed a roof leak that wasn't mentioned in their report. The leak has led to costly repairs, and it's frustrating that such a major problem wasn't caught during the inspection. We reached out to the company for clarification, but unfortunately, we haven t received any satisfactory answers. All we got it that it's not their fault from the owner Matt that is hard to get into contact with. I would recommend that potential homebuyers be extra diligent and consider getting a second opinion before finalizing their purchase. Especially if your realtor knows the inspector because it may be a conflict of interest. Unfortunately we were first time home buyers and did not think that part through. Reported them to BBB and looking to take further action. read more

*UPDATE*- Supervisor contacted me, came over to look at all the issues above, he explained the reason they missed these issues. He was very professional, very polite and even did a free sewer scope for me. Regardless, I've now had over 20k in repairs (partially paid by insurance) due to missed or not at fault issues. I've increased my rating to 3 (from 2) for their follow-up and professionalism. read more

We had Duke City inspect and reinspect our house before we bought it. After we had been here a while we noticed a water leak that they had missed during the inspection. When we asked them to stand behind their inspection and take care of fixing the damaged caused by the leak, they refused. I wouldn't recommend them at all. read more

Danny Ortwerth's attention to detail was impressive. Highly professional throughout the interaction and didn't mind taking time to explain and educate me on things I wasn't familiar with. Top notch! read more

Rudy was punctual and immediately got to work. Rudy gave us his insights and recommendations as he thoroughly went through the house. Rudy also let us know what to expect and who else would show up during our inspection from the Duke City Staff. Rudy was knowledgeable as to what the house would have for the year it was built and gave us the summary report before the end of the inspection. He also made sure to email a copy within the same day which we appreciated. Rudy was professional, efficient and helpful. We are so thankful Rudy did such a thorough job. Duke City was recommended by our awesome Real Estate Agent Brett Paas. read more

Hi! Dylan Huls was very thorough in his inspection and he sent the report very promptly. He was very kind and patient in answering my many questions also! He also sent follow-up messages to see if I have any questions. Thank you! Julia read more

Used Duke City for my new home inspection. The scheduling of the inspection and process was pretty easy, but the inspection itself was lackluster. When we moved in we found several issues that were not called out in the report. In one spare bedroom, there were lights and a fan that did not work. The sink in the kitchen had a leak and was clogged, so we had to call a plumber on day one. The downstairs furnace was only blowing cold air and needed to be serviced. The report online called out that the furnace appears to be working fine, but after I questioned Duke City about this, they said there was a side note that stated the gas to the house was not turned on when they did the inspection. I viewed the report online and only saw the furnace appears to be in working condition. I did not notice that there was a 3rd box to the right you need to click to see that side note (their app format needs some work there). I take some blame for not printing out the full report and only using the app. Really makes me think, though, if someone was living in the house (which they were), why would the gas have been turned off?? ... and why would that have not been a major red flag called out and highlighted on the front page by the inspector? The furnace appears to be working condition comment should not have even been there in my opinion. Anyways, this combined with the other missed items gave me a less than pleasant experience w/ Duke City. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I think it is important for people to know to check the details before/when using them. read more

Shane was knowledgeable and thorough and politely answered our questions. The report was prompt with clear photos that illustrated the situation(s) reported. He also recommended scoping the sewer line which he was able to accomplish on the spot. Overall, a very good experience. read more

Highly recommend Duke City Inspections! Shane was deeply knowledgeable, thorough, super friendly and easy going, and offered thoughtful perspective to our questions. The report was promptly delivered and included assessments with referential photographs and follow up suggestions. read more

Aaron Regal did an excellent job of explaining to us the results of his inspection. We recommend this company.

Super fast and friendly ! I had used other inspectors and this guy was superb. Missed two things which is still a grade A service .

They did a thorough inspection of the home we were considering and provided us with a complete list of recommendations for repairs and maintenance. The inspector did an awesome Job explaining his findings and helped us with our decision. read more

Duke City Inspections has eased my mind about buying my new home! They took care of all the required documentation that the builder required prior to the inspection. Rudy's report was very thorough and detailed! I would not have caught these repairs on my new home if it were not for duke city inspections ! Thank you so much! read more

I called Duke City Inspections and asked them a bunch of questions. The rep on the phone was very nice and answered all my questions about the specifics of the inspection in full. The inspector that came out was Cisco. In short: he's very knowledgeable and very nice, and I recommend him. He arrived right on time and was happy to was through the property with me. He pointed out a few things and explained how they could be remedied, and how these issues compared to issues in other similar homes that he'd seen. He also told me which issues he didn't see and what this implied about how the home was maintained, and what I'll need to be doing as the new homeowner. He then gave my partner and I a summary of everything he'd seen. He was discrete around the selling agent, though there wasn't anything major to report. I was impressed at the things he noticed, which included minor water damage in a corner of a dark walk-in closet in a completely repainted room. He also discovered a laundry chute hidden in a different closet that we didn't know existed! DCI uses a nice template for generating their reports, which contains photos and descriptions (as typed in by the inspector). It's easy to navigate online, and there's an option to save everything as a PDF. Their turnaround is super fast--less than a day, it seems--because the inspector types their notes in as they're walking around the property. Cisco also performed a sewerscope and a radon inspection (extra charges). DCI uploaded the video to youtube, so you have a record of it. The radon inspection report also includes the hourly temperature and humidity inside the house for 48 hours. read more

Scheduling a home inspection with Duke City Inspections was easy and quick. The inspector, Rudy Martinez, was very friendly and informed me about all the things he was inspecting and went over any issues that he found. I would highly recommend Duke City Inspections to anyone doing a home inspection. read more

Cisco Gonzalez did an incredibly thorough home inspection on a property we're considering purchasing as an investment. Not only did he cover everything on the checklist, but he also worked with a technician from Preventive to create a report on potential termite infestation (none found). In addition, he inspected the sewer system using high-tech video. The resulting report is super-detailed with a million high resolution photos. Best of all, the report was delivered, as promised, at the close of business the same day. great service! Thank you! read more

Very pleased with Duke City Inspections. Rudy was very thorough and provided us with great feedback on major to minor concerns on the property he inspected for us. I highly recommend this company and will use them again if needed in the future. Thank you, Rudy! read more
