AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Used them twice and will never use them again. Paid them to do one property…read morein Austin which went fine. Bought a 2nd property and they quoted me a price that included a separate fee for a pool inspection. I was VERY clear that the prior owner had drained the pool and I was aware of a crack and that it looked bad, but I needed a real inspection done to identify the specific issues. They said they would do that. I said okay. I then got a report that simply said that there was no power to pool equipment and to get somebody else to inspect it. They then repeatedly said the pool looked bad and had cracks with no specific info of identifiable problems or any new info at all, and to GET ANOTHER INSPECTION FROM SOMEBODY ELSE. The house had power. The equipment is connected to the pool. All he had to do was flip the breaker to get power to it. Regardless, since I was given no new info and was told to get somebody else to inspect it because apparently this company isn't capable of doing a pool inspection despite charging for pool inspections, I simply asked for a refund for the pool part of the inspection. I was then ignored for days, and then told no because they had done it when all they did was recommend getting somebody else to inspect it. No equipment was tested. No new info was added beyond what we had told them and knew already. I have 20 properties and have gone through this process with a ton of inspectors. Never have I had an inspection company screw me over to keep roughly $100 in this manner. Maybe use them for a basic inspection of the general house, but every single add on inspection for sprinklers, pools, etc is a complete scam where they will tell you to get a real inspector to look at it while charging you for that advice.

I used Home Run on my new build for my initial home buying inspection and for my 1 year inspection…read more Both times they were timely, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! They detailed everything on their report in a way that was easy for me to present to the builder and for the builder to follow up and make necessary repairs. I would especially like to note how important it was for me to add the sewer line inspection. The added cost was SO insignificant compared to the $14k repair that was needed based on the inspection findings. Thankfully Home run found it and gave me all of the info I needed to submit it to the builder for warranty repair. It helped me save out of pocket expenses down the road AND the frustration of plumbing issues that could have been caused. This was in addition to the rest of their findings that the builder responded to and repaired promptly. All in all, the initial inspection and the warranty inspection saved me tens of thousands of dollars and gave me peace of mind in my home

Kenneth Larson was fantastic. I've been a real estate investor, part time, for about 10 years and…read morethis was one of the best home inspections I've gotten. He said he would show up at 1:00, he was there at 1:02 (this is rare- so many inspectors are constantly LATE.) You can book him online, I was able to get him to come to my property the next day, which was great because he was booked solid for a week, and we needed an inspection immediately. That I could see when he was available and schedule him while I was at work, without a dozen back and fourth calls, was a complete win. His inspection was very thorough, and when I asked him questions, he was incredibly knowledgeable about everything. Between being in the industry for 10 years, and being a fourth generation contractor, I know when people really know their stuff or can just talk the talk, and Ken really knows his stuff. As a side note, and something I very much enjoyed, Ken was great at explaining things at my level. I'm ass-ignorant about electrical (it's the only system in a house I can't completely tear down and rebuild by myself), and he was able to answer my questions so I knew exactly what was wrong. On the things where I know a lot, he adjusted the level of his explanation. He also assumed I was competent and didn't do any of the "you're just a little lady" crap that you can get from men in the trades, especially of a certain generation, when you're female. I know most of them don't even realize they're being patronizing and perhaps decades of exposure has made me oversensitive, but I didn't get a whiff of that from Ken. He said he would have the report up on his website within 24 hours, it was (even though it was Saturday- I didn't have to wait all weekend, although 24 business hours would have been reasonable). Yes, you can get a cheaper inspection elsewhere, but I don't think you can get one this good at this price elsewhere, and I don't think you can get the kind of service that Ken gave for this price elsewhere. I will be using him again.

One of which is a VERY popular company which quoted me a price that was HUNDREDS dollars higher than Austinspect. Not just a 1 or 2, like $400. But I digress. I chose Austinspect and everything was great. They sent out Cedric and we interacted very well. He's very friendly and very knowledgeable, explained what was in good shape, what to look out for, what might not be an issue, and also how to maintain the house better if I am going to purchase it. I have no issues with him and the company and would certainly recommend them.

Mark made availability on short notice and even went back on a house to do a follow up for us.

I recently used Jesse for an inspection on a home built in 1984. Jesse, who is the owner and…read moreinspector, did an EXTREMELY thorough inspection of the property. I've bought and sold a few homes in my lifetime, and Jesse was by far the most thorough and professional inspector I have ever used. From his email inspection reminder system to the very easy to read, yet detailed final report, the services provided by Jesse are the best I've ever seen. I would recommend Guided Inspections to anyone buying or selling a home. Heck, if for some reason I moved to another state and was in contract to buy a home, I'd probably fly Jesse to that home for the inspection. A home is probably the biggest investment most of us will ever make. Don't rely on the advice of some guy with a truck and a ladder. Do it once, do it right, hire the guy who knows what he is dong.
