Who knows what unpleasant surprises could be lurking in your attic, basement or framework? Only a trained home inspector can alert you to the potential threats and problems in your house. Hire Fireman Home Inspections to conduct a thorough inspection of your home so you don't have to worry about if the random person you just hired is actually going to do a good job. Whether you're preparing to put your house on the market or looking to buy a new home, you should get the property inspected right away by the best people, not just the cheapest which could cost you time and money down the line if not done right the first time. No one wants to buy a house full of issues, and I will recommend Fireman Home Inspections every single time. This is the second time I've worked with Lee Carns in a year on two different houses and he's the best professional you could hire for the job. You want someone that is going over the entire house with an infrared device that can see everything wrong behind the walls. You want someone actually testing every appliance, device, outlets and more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You want someone that's actually giving you feedback every step of the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You want someone that's actually going to give you good house advice on how to maintain the house for the future. I'm telling you, I'm not a paid promoter, I'm not an auto generated AI bot review... I'm a real house-buyer on the other side of this screen right now telling you to use this company and spread the word to everyone that these are the people you want taking care of your inspections if you want the job done right and can trust the report was as thorough as can be. I might even just hire Lee once a year just to give me an updated run down of my house to make sure everything is in order. Six out of five stars! read more

Elijah did a fantastic job at inspecting our new condo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And he was great at answering any questions and explaining any issues he found.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend him. read more

These guys, father/son, are top notch. Nobody should be hiring any other inspection company. Period. Superb!

Im buying a home for myself for the first time in my life and the realtors I worked with had many contacts for inspectors with bad reviews online so I decided to find one of my own. I found Fireman Home Inspections on Yelp and the reviews looked good, also to top it off it was a weekend evening and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lee answered the phone and took the time to give me lots of information and help me schedule all the missing pieces / other inspections I needed besides the ones he was able to provide himself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's rare in Albuquerque to have someone respond past 5pm or anytime on the weekend, I was surprised to find this gem of a business owner here in the land of mañana. Once the home inspection took place Lees services really began to shine. He had various people inspecting different aspects of the house and giving me huge details of data about literally everything. Each person spoke to me like an expert and took plenty of pictures and I got a very detailed report with pictures. Unfortunately the house I was buying got broken into before he had the radon test completed but Lee was a standup guy and stayed there for over an hour waiting for the owner to provide them full details on what he noticed when he first got there. I'd recommend Lee and his team to anyone that wants an A+ quality job! read more

Lee did a fantastic job on our home inspection, which also included a sewer scope and radon test. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When questions arose (I was concerned about cracks in the patio) he responded quickly and thoroughly, and offered to answer any other questions we might have.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm confident about our new home, thanks to him. Highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a great experience with Lee and his team. They were very polite and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lee arrived with one of his colleagues, and they were quick and thorough in their work. They answered all of our questions, provided valuable information, and meticulously documented everything. I highly recommend Lee and his company. He is knowledgeable and committed to delivering a comprehensive report, ensuring that if you're buying a house, you fully understand what you are purchasing and what repairs may be needed. Additionally, Lee and Fireman Home Inspections (https://firemanhomeinspections.com/) offer a significant discount for veterans and first responders, making their services even more worthwhile. read more

Lee was friendly, straight-forward, informative, and thorough. He took the time to explain what was being inspected, how he made assessments, and answered all of my questions no matter how minor. The report was easy to read, clear photos and clear recommendations. He came highly recommended by a friend who is a builder and it is easy to see why. read more

Our home is nearly 20 years old and we wanted an honest answer to what needs to be fixed and what is still in good shape. Here's how Lee and his team at Fireman Home Inspections came into our world. First, they're very responsive and easy to schedule. They showed up on time with a team of three and got to work. They took pictures, provided great details, and honest assessments of things that were problem areas in our home, like a leaky toilet and window damage we didn't know about. Great communication, thorough report, and great follow up. They are very much worth their reasonable fee. read more

We are buying a house and were looking for a home inspection company and came across Lee and Fireman Home Inspections. Lee did a fantastic job, had a quick turnaround and answered our questions almost immediately! I would absolutely recommend him!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fireman Home Inspections was a pleasure to work with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were kind, thorough, and professional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They welcomed and answered our questions[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and submitted the inspection report the same day. Thank you FHI. read more

I hired Lee to inspect a couple potential properties I was going to buy. He arrived a bit ahead of time and got to work right away. Super meticulous, super detailed, and if a seller tried to cover things up with 'professional' work, he found what was underneath. Both times, he found issues that made me back out of buying both properties. He has a great sense of humor and doesn't mess around or waste time getting his job done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He also talked with me afterward (off the record) about his personal take on the property and taught me a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So be careful right now buying properties in and around Albuquerque -- people are desperate to sell and will dupe you in every way possible. The way to be careful with the largest investment you may make? Hire Lee. Avoid future problems. Have the power of knowledge to negotiate with sellers. read more

I discovered Lee right here on Yelp. I wanted to go off the recommended list for our home inspection and go with an outside inspector. I am glad I did. They were fair and seemingly as an unbiased as possible. Lee was very professional and thorough as well as his colleague that accompanied him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked through with them, and they were very welcoming and detailed and informative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some inspections are more expensive, this one was worth the money I don't think we could have chosen a better inspector for our potential new home. I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

After calling other inspectors in the area, Lee gave us a lot of confidence in his services, not only to us but also to our realtor. His price was even better than the other people that we called, plus he is a firefighter himself. When we asked him if we could be there during the inspection, he actually encouraged it, so he could explain to us what he was finding, and as he said, by the time we would get the written report, it would be like a summary of the things he walked us through. His report was thorough and allowed us to identify the things we needed to negotiate with the seller. read more

If: attention to detail, thoroughness, backup pics and data, clearly presented explanations, straightforwardness, and professionalism matter when you need someone to help solidify your due diligence when buying a property, or even needing some solid insight as to the condition of your current home, I would highly recommend Lee, with Fireman Home Inspections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once he and his team have evaluated and documented their findings, Lee will look you in the eyes, explain the results, and answer any questions at length.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His price is worth the fuller understanding of the things you need to know. read more

Lee is very professional and thorough. He took me along on his inspection and explained the problem areas he found. He inspected the entire house including the roof and attic. I highly recommend fireman home inspections and Lee the owner. read more

I am an out-of-state buyer so I was very nervous about enlisting the help of companies from across the country. The inspector was informative and I felt very comfortable with him. Despite not being there I felt "in the loop" because he called me before inspection and offered to call me after inspection. His schedule is also super flexible and his pricing is great. The inspection report was clear and the turnaround was fast. He also stated that if I had any questions that I could contact him. I do not regret enlisting this company's services rather than someone else. I was a little upset because he stated that he could not video call me during the inspection. However, after seeing the report I 100% see why. Vídeo calling would have been a disaster. Too cumbersome and/or completely useless to me. read more

Lee Carns and his business are true professionals. If you are looking for a very detailed and thorough inspection at an affordable rate, then contact Fireman home inspections. The service was exceptional, nothing was half-assed or overlooked. Highly recommend. read more

Lee did a terrific job inspecting my new to me property in Rio Rancho. He was very thorough and found a few things I did not see.

Lee was punctual! He was very informative and answered all questions and concerns. Walked us through each part of the home inspection and never once was bothered by the intrusion of our little family while doing his job. One very handy tool was the "Flir" thermal imaging tool. It was able to see through the walls and image any leaks or defects. Fortunately he found a leak that was peril to the homes wall and roof structure. Lee also made sure we knew that we could call him even after our closing date with any questions. He is a stand up gentleman and highly recommended his services. read more

I was closing on a house long distance in a really short time. The first buyers didn't get their mortgage so I came in & had to close in about 10 days time. There had been a prior inspection of the home but it was very superficial - no electrical, plumbing, or foundation. I called Lee of Fireman home inspections & he was giving good advice even before I hired him. He was very patient when the realtor kept changing the times of the inspection - including late at night to be the very next morning! I couldn't be there for the inspection but I had friends who were since Lee likes to explain his findings & point out any areas of concern. He wrote a great report but also called me to tell my about the smallest of details to watch out for in the future (like some small cracks in the stucco that could develop over time) & even included a website to go to & see how to fix one problem area. I'm so happy I found him & didn't get some other inspection service that was like the original company. Definitely use his company if you're buying a house & need it inspected. Also, his rate was very reasonable - right in the average of what an inspection should be. I had called another company who wanted $900 just to inspect the roof. Lee was about 1/3 of that for the whole house! read more

This review is long overdue - for 7/24/22. We were looking for a house inspector before purchasing a new home. We were glad to find Fireman Home Inspections and interacted with Lee. He had great service and communication. He arrived punctually, before our scheduled appointment. Lee was thorough, looking at the property top to bottom and go over all findings before leaving the property. He was polite, friendly and professional in answering all of our questions. Lee had great depth of knowledge in the home especially he is a fireman. We love the way he provided detail inspection results. This helped us tremendously when we brought this home. Everything he reported was confirmed with the specialist in that area. He is honest and reliable. We highly recommend Fireman especially Lee as your home inspector to your friends and coworkers. read more

I contracted Lee for a second home inspection when the first turned up some issues and I wanted a thorough review and second opinion. He was excellent. Better priced for more services, including thermal scan, and more thorough. He was easy to schedule and works weekends if needed. Also very pleasant and thorough going over what he found. And he fully adhered to safety protocols for COVID. I can't recommend this guy more highly. Next time I need a home inspection, he is my first call. read more

I am a first-time homebuyer doing my very best to make an informed decision, and Lee's service has really gone a long way to give me peace of mind. He has been a wonderful communicator, punctual, friendly, and thorough through this process; answered all of my questions (some of which were unusual or quirky); and provided an easy-to-follow report on the evening of the inspection with good photographic evidence and ranking of needs. He also scheduled my inspection quickly and conveniently on a Saturday, and the extremely reasonable cost quoted over the phone was the same that I paid in person (he also accepted payment by card for extra convenience). If only every part of home-buying were this simple! I highly recommend Fireman Home Inspections! read more

Lee is awesome. His home inspection process is very thorough and detail oriented. He uses the latest available equipment for his service. He has a good eye for finding the little things about the property someone easily overlooks or simply misses. He will highlight and review something with you on the spot and will provide you an explanation. Very pleased with his service. read more

We just met Lee, he came out to inspect our potential new home today. First off I feel like he helped find various items for us and definitely was looking out for our best interest as the potential buyer. Lee was also very transparent with the homeowner who was there as well. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the price we paid and for the job done by Fireman Home Inspections and I will definitely recommend to others. Oh and the cherry on top is that Lee is a Vet and a firefighter which I always love supporting these guys too. Good luck with your business Lee and thank you for a great experience today. read more

I have hired four home inspectors in my lifetime and none came close to the excellent service I received from Lee. His report was very thorough and included pictures. He also will make himself available for questions after the initial inspection. I highly recommend his services. Very professional. read more

We are moving to New Mexico and were so fortunate to have Fireman Home Inspection inspect our new home in Rio Rancho. He was thorough and very detailed. We were able to be there during the inspection and he was awesome to answer all our questions. We had the report in our hands a few hours later with great pictures to show exactly what he saw. He used a thermal imaging camera which gave us lots of additional knowledge that most inspectors don't offer. The tools he used helped validate his findings. His fees were reasonable considering the time and tools used to complete the job. I would recommend Fireman Home Inspections without hesitation. read more

Lee was amazing from the phone conversation/interview down to the actual inspection report, this guy is on it! We are not local so really looking for someone who felt perfect without any waves or bumps. He was clear and concise and the report was a hit right out of the ball park, everything that I could want in a report! Did you call him yet???? What are you waiting for! read more

I had an excellent experience with this inspection company. The inspector was extremely knowledgeable and detailed in every aspect of the inspection. He all the right equipment to do the inspection and provided a lengthy and professional report when he was done that gave us some things to discuss with the homeowner. The inspector had a thermal camera to find problems in the walls and a moisture detector to find leaks. Great job and great service. read more

Lee was a pleasure to work with. Found a concern with the stucco we had missed. Recomends I get an expert to check. Also found the garbage disposal is hooked up wrong. Used infared to check AC/Heat like the professional HVAC guys. Checked the wires through the walls looking for any electrcal issues. Even gave me a military discount. Thank you, Lee! read more
