We recently had the pleasure of working with Jon Rudolph from Inspections By Referral for a home inspection, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. Jon was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the process, and he provided outstanding customer service every step of the way. One of the things we appreciated most was how Jon struck the perfect balance--he clearly pointed out important details that needed attention, but he also avoided creating unnecessary concern about issues that are normal for a home of this age. His insight and calm approach made us feel well-informed and confident, rather than overwhelmed. The inspection report was another highlight: thorough, clearly organized, and easy to understand. Jon made the entire process smooth and reassuring, and we truly felt like we were in capable hands. It was a very positive experience, and we would highly recommend Jon and Inspections By Referral to anyone looking for a thoughtful, honest, and experienced home inspector. read more

Jon Rudolph did a fantastic job. Jon has a civil engineering degree and decades of experience, so we felt comfortable hiring him to inspect our new home in Erie, CO. He moved his calendar around to accommodate limited scheduling options under tight time constraints to help ensure we remained on track for our closing date. Jon walked us (the buyers) through the entire home to explain his findings, answered questions throughout, and then provided us with a comprehensive report summarizing the inspection results and including recommended actions (color coded to indicate immediate actions needed vs not as urgent or something to monitor). He also followed up in the weeks after the inspection to confirm that we understood the report and offered to make himself available to answer any questions (we did not have any because of the quality of the report). I highly recommend Jon! Thank you! read more

I can't recommend Jon highly enough. He was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. As a homebuyer, having someone who not only identified potential issues but also helped me put them into perspective gave me a much more grounded and informed approach to making such an important decision. What really stood out was that his support didn't end when the inspection was over. He went above and beyond by answering additional questions afterward and helping me better understand the findings so I could move forward with confidence. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, and truly invested in helping you make an informed decision, I highly recommend working with him. read more

Jon Rudolph owner of "Inspections by Referral" was amazingly helpful and thorough. He explained not only the problems that he found, but went into detail about what those problems could mean to us as home buyers. What he discovered for us were thousands of dollars of repairs, electrical problems, plumbing problems, water damage, high radon and more. He made himself available to answer questions with short turnaround time, was friendly and very knowledgeable! We were unable to attend the inspection so Jon met with our realtor Linda Hepperle and together they made a brilliant team for us! We couldn't ask for more. We are moving forward to find the right home and will use Jon again. We highly recommend him! read more
