Trevor is detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and thorough, with a keen eye for identifying issues that others might miss. His vendor references are excellent, and his inspection reports are delivered immediately after the inspection, which helps keep every transaction on schedule. Trevor is also honest, kind, and a man of high integrity -- qualities that bring tremendous peace of mind and confidence to my clients. His expertise consistently adds value by helping buyers make informed decisions and protecting their investment. He's uncovered major issues that were not previously disclosed, saving clients significant time and money. Truly one of the best in the business and a trusted partner I'm always grateful to work with!

I understand that the inspection agreement focuses on safety and structural concerns, and that cosmetic items may fall outside the primary scope. Still, as a homeowner I had expected those visible issues to be documented so they could be addressed sooner. My personal experience left me wishing the report had been more thorough in capturing both major and minor details. see attached picture.

He more than just inspected the house, he troubleshooted and tried to replicate scenarios to find the source of the problem. I brought up my concerns and Reid was able to address them and provided knowledgable tips. Jasmine was the point of contact prior to the home inspection and she was very easy to communicate with. She was on top of her job. She made sure everything was in place prior to the home inspection so there were no hiccups. Overall, very pleased with the experience. If you live in the Hoopili area, I strongly advise you do business with them. If you live elsewhere, I still strongly advise you do business with this company! Thank you Reid and Jasmine!

When it comes to the nitty-gritty details that could make or break your decision to proceed with a property you'll soon be calling 'Home', the company I HIGHLY recommend is Home Inspections Oahu! 100%!! Jay was not only friendly and down to earth, but he is highly skilled in his expertise as a home inspector, and was descriptive in his explanations to help guide the presentation. With his thorough documentation and photo gallery containing color codings for warnings and repairs needed, my wife and I truly felt secure moving forward with our next adventure. Even if we had already planned to do some upgrading and repairs after the purchase, it was helpful knowing all the other things that might need some TLC, and especially the ones that were more urgent to address immediately. To add to the positives, Home Inspections Oahu was available at short notice and accommodating to our preferred time of service. The quality and value you get are very hard to match. As "OCD" as I am, Jay's diligence and recommendations were very much appreciated! Looking at his inspection versus the one from the seller's vendor... HA! This company beats them by a mile. Total Inspection Cost: $450.00 +tax Thanks Jay & Home Inspections Oahu!!

Buying a home for the first time can be both an exciting and scary experience. Aside from the many…read moreheadaches from dealing with various escrow deadlines & loan approvals, new homeowners can also get hit with another obstacle - finding out that your dream home is a complete money pit, a financial nightmare. No one wants to buy a seemingly perfect-looking house, only to discover that there's a lot of serious structural or hazardous issues, ain't nobody got time for that! I knew right off that bat before I signed any contracts, that I needed my potential new home inspected. Like most, I struggled with the idea of hiring a home inspector because I knew it was going to run me at least $500 or $600+, a typical inner struggle when you're trying to cut any additional costs. I've planned on being on a stict ramen diet budget after buying this house, so I was really dreading the idea of spending additional money on an inspection. But realistically, I knew it had to be done. I didn't want to get stuck with a house with many flaws and up end having to pay thousands of dollars to repair things. Frank Dugger was introduced to us by our hard-working real estate agent, Mai Gregory. He has a reputation for being very thorough and very honest. He was friendly, professional and not intimidating at all. If all the real estate agents trust him, then I trust him. For 4 hours, Frank did the entire home inspection all by himself. He inspected everything from the inner wirings of the house to the very details of a suspicious single roof tile. His only assistant was this kick-ass drone that he used to inspect my roof and solar panels. Efficient and high-tech, love that! http://bit.ly/1lcvz99 Going over the inspection report was a breeze, we went over everything page by page on his laptop, all 72 pages. - The very first page showed items highlighted in red, indicating potential hazardous items that he recommends to repair (or to ask the seller to repair prior to us signing the contracts). http://bit.ly/1Rqi1CQ - Then he went over everything that's usually included in a home inspection like the plumbing, gas, electrical, foundation etc. http://bit.ly/1LRfnip http://bit.ly/1N69Oi6 I appreciated how every item listed came with pics to support his findings. This man did not miss a single thing. He even found a huge crack in the shower tile that we missed during our house tour. This would've caused huge leakage or mold problems in the future. http://bit.ly/1NsXdsF I paid on site $785, very reasonable and cheap for the thorough job that was done per my agent. I knew going in that this house was going to be a couple hundred over the usual fee because there were both a hot tub and pool to inspect in addition to the two-story. http://bit.ly/1OACYKs Overall, I'm really satisfied and relieved that there was nothing serious with the house. We forwarded the must-fix/potential hazardous list to the home seller and guess what - he agreed to fix EVERYTHING! Amazing job! Thanks, Frank! You're the best!! http://bit.ly/1LRfmef

This past December and January, I had MPM come out to treat drywood and subterranean termites at my property. They were very quick to respond when they were getting their money, got the jobs scheduled and did it. That part was fine. I was even told I was covered for 5 years for a retreatment if any termite activity was found! Afterwards, we started renovating the property and nearly everyday my contractors were telling me they were were still finding termite frass and active termite activity. I reached out to Menehune and asked them to honor the terms lf their warranty (why would I even lie to them about this?) They said the owner had to come see it for his own eyes before he would honor the warranty. Its now been nearly 4 weeks, I've called multiple times and sent multiple emails. Owner has never came. Ive emailed them picturee, no tesponse. They obviously have no intention of honoring their warranty. I would recommend any other company, I feel duped and lied too and now have to pay for a retreatment within 4 months of having my house treated extensively by this company under the promise they'd retreat it if this exact situation occurred.

EJ provided me with assurance that they could handle the scope of our project and helped me to visualize what could be done with the space. EJ provided me with a quote promptly after the initial walk-through and were able to fit me into their schedule a few weeks later. EJ's team showed up each morning on time and they were great to talk with. EJ communicated with me well every step of the way, and provided help with some of the difficulties that we ran into. The end results were stunning, even though it took a bit longer than expected (due to shipping delays for materials, which was not at all EJ's team's fault), we were still able to use our brand new kitchen for the holidays.
