Joe and Lisa are the best. They make buying a new home really easy. We were referred to them buy…read moreour real estate agent, and we've used them for multiple home inspections now. Lisa is so helpful. She calls back promptly and sends helpful e-mail reminders for appointments. Invoices can be paid online and copies of the inspection report are available for download. Joe's inspections are very thorough, the most detailed reports we have ever ordered. He has a great understanding of code ordinances, organizes reports into categories, and helps us make informed decisions. On top of that, he often gets inspections back to us same day. Would highly recommend them!

We hired Nunnallee after interviewing a few companies to inspect a older home we had put an offer…read morefor. We did not use inspectors from the list our agent provided. Brian was superb. We'd definitely hire him again if we were in a similar situation. He answered many questions we had about his process as it related to the foundation portion of the inspection. His report was very thorough and caught a few deficiencies that were deeper than anticipated. Fortunately it was early enough so that we had time to negotiate with the seller to find a solution within the option period. He arrived early and stayed later than we anticipated... even helped us trouble shoot a leaking water meter towards the end when that was clearly not in the scope of the project. Thank you for the help.

He did an incredibly thorough job, was kind, explained everything in great detail, and charged at an extremely reasonable rate.

As a recipient of a recent home inspection by Barfield Home Inspections, I can honestly say if I…read moreknew they lack the knowledge, licenses, or certifications of a skilled-trade individual, I never would've moved forward with utilizing their services. Their inspections are basic that you as an individual could perform them and identify more issues than the inspector. They also include a clause to have a "professional" individual reassess their inspection given the lack of knowledge the inspectors have. As a recent customer I highly recommend that you utilize skilled-trade contractors to perform your inspections. It will be more beneficial to you as a new homeowner looking to purchase, you will save time, money and the contractors will provide quotes of work that needs to be performed.

DO NOT hire Joe Barnett as your home inspector. Based on our experience, he should not be licensed…read moreto perform inspections. We hired Joe to inspect our home and paid extra for a sewer scope. His report stated: "Main lines clear, no bellies, no roots, no breaks." However, just one week after moving in, our entire home's plumbing backed up. We brought in a licensed plumber, who found the sewer line to be severely damaged - requiring a full replacement costing over $30,000. The plumber also confirmed that there is no way Joe could have missed this damage if a proper scope had been performed. When we contacted Joe to raise the issue, he denied responsibility and has refused to provide any proof that the sewer scope was ever done. Despite multiple requests, we've received no video or documentation -and now he has completely stopped responding. Joe Barnett is either a liar or he is incompetent, and now we are left with the consequences. We strongly urge others to look elsewhere for a reliable, accountable home inspector.

Do not ever, I mean EVER, pay for Joe's services until they are rendered. I was busy, booked him…read moreAND went ahead and paid him to save time with a quick closing approaching. Less than FIVE HOURS later we had to cancel the inspection (which was days later) and he was a complete jerk and kept $150 of my money for all the "work" he did. The work he did was schedule my appointment and take my money. Such a jerk, just don't make the same mistake I did. I was punished for paying in advance. I have no idea if he is a good or bad inspector but I know he is not a good person to not do business with. Makes me furious a year later as I look at his lame refund less the $150.

I've used Chris Metting for inspecting two houses that I was looking to buy in Austin. I highly…read morerecommend him to anyone looking for a very thorough inspection. He's very professional and meticulous and an all around nice guy. During one of the inspections, the owner had not turned the gas on, so he could not inspect the water heater and furnace. But once it was turned on the next day, Chris returned to the house promptly to complete the inspection and didn't even ask for extra money due to the extra trip he had to make. I've used other inspectors in Austin, but they have not been as thorough as Chris.

He can usually provide fast turnaround times at a great price with to-the-point, detailed reports that give my buyers the advantage of knowing exactly what they are buying, what is truly important vs what is just needing some basic maintenance or attention going forward. I have used him on multiple deals, he is accommodating and easy to work with. He truly knows residential construction and can help my buyers understand in great detail the items that need immediate attention in the contract or negotiation vs things that can be dealt with a trip the hardware store after closing or just require keeping an eye on. All too often, inspectors are looking to prove how much they know or blow totally inconsequential items out of proportion - after 23 years in this business I have seen it all. I have seen one get a buyer whipped into a frenzy over "leaves in the gutter" and one cracked tile. Not Chris, steady, focused, provides what we need to know without distraction or embellishment. Chris is straight shooter. He gives my clients and I the peace of mind to proceed or negotiate repairs knowing EXACTLY what we need to know, at a great price and without drama (already enough drama in real estate without adding any more...lol). I will continue to call Chris for my licensed home inspection needs. He provides a critical service to both myself and my clients and we consider his input and perspective critical to our overall process. I continue to recommend Chris to my clients without reservation.
