I will admit right now that Linkhorn was the link/contact my realtor sent to me and so me, first time home buyer, went ahead with it. Now, I did look up the company but did not do die hard research, just because my job keeps my busy enough. Having said that, Brent Odson was my "assigned person." When I arrived about 10 minutes early, he was already there. He immediately made me feel very comfortable by introducing himself, giving me some of his background and then introducing his partner as well. There is something about Brent that is not only calming but also reassuring, which for a first time home buyer is really what you need. I asked him so many questions about the property and he was able to answer them all. He never made me feel like any of my questions were silly (even though a few probably were) and treated me (and my friend) with the upmost respect and courtesy that can be a rarity these days. Brent was incredibly throrough and so knowledgable that I found myself asking him questions about his own personal experiences with his homes which was humbing that he would even share with us. He addressed all of my concerns with a polite and respectful tone and had a very relaxing, great sense of humor to boot, which was perfect because I was pretty nervous about this process. I would HIGHLY recommend Brent for your home inspection. You will not be disappointed with his attention to detail, knowledge of so many household questions but most of all, just his genuine personality. Finding this level of exemplary service is rare these days but it's nice to know it's still out there! I will always recommend Linkhorn and in particular Brent for this particular service! read more

Chris Toombs and Brian (?) came to do my inspection and were very thorough and had no problems with me shadowing them or asking questions. They did an excellent job from top to bottom on the inspection and provided me with a well laid out report that made it both easy for myself and the Seller to understand, which meant the Request to Remedy we sent them was easily adhered to. I was impressed that they came as a team, which I think allowed them to cover a lot of ground and not get held up if I stopped one to ask questions. I was also thankful that they took safety seriously and thought about things other inspectors may have overlooked (like testing the garage door to make sure it auto-reverses if something has gotten stuck). With small children, details like this are a piece of mind. I also paid for the extra sanitary sewer camera inspection and it was well worth it! The video was top quality (albeit really eerie/creepy/gross to watch) as the camera snaked its way through the pipes and out to the sewer as it made its way through all sorts of lovely things. Made it very easy to show the Seller what needed remedying and they will be getting the main drain line cleared as a result. Their knowledge, courtesy, and speed of service are definite pluses. The layout of their findings is easy to read and they did a great job answering all of my questions and really digging into the home for me. A+! read more

Our realtor recommended LInkhorn Inspections to assess condition of a new home my Daughter is purchasing. The circumstances are somewhat unusual due to the fact that the home was flooded approximated 45 days before closing, and construction was fairly far along. The flooding was caused by water in both bathrooms being turned on and left on, and for some reason, running over both tubs, and ruining hardwood floors, carpeting, etc. Although we are dealing with a large and well regarded builder, due to the situation, we felt we needed an independent inspector to represent our interests. We called and spoke to Jerry Linkhorn, and he personally met us at the house within the hour. He also brought a very seasoned inspector with over 30 years experience in the construction trades. These gentlemen clearly know what they are doing, and genuinely seem to care, which immediately inspired confidence. Most importantly, when results came in, and conflicted with the home builder's own inspector's results, the builder asked who our inspection company was. When we told them Linkhorn Inspections, they said they know and trust this company. Therefore, they had their own inspector come back to recheck their results. Turns out, LInkhorn was correct, and moisture levels in the home were still too high. Need I say more - Linkhorn Inspections is an outstanding company which I highly recommend! read more

Being first time home buyers my boyfriend and I were unsure who to use as an inspector, so our realtor recommended Linkhorn Home Inspections. Scheduling was simple and convenient, as you can schedule your appointment online through their website. Our inspector was Brent Odson, and as we got to the house he had just finished checking the roof. Brent was so patient with us, and realizing that we were first time home buyers he went above and beyond his duties to give us hints for being a homeowner, took the time to thoroughly explain everything, and he helped teach us little repairs here and there along the inspection. He was amazing and, as first-time homeowners, we could not have had a better inspector who took the extra time to give us hints, recommendations, and teach us valuable knowledge on how to run and maintenance our valuable appliances (water heater, furnace, etc.) We learned so much from Brent, and we were pleased with just how patient he was with us and what he taught us along the inspection. Our inspection was scheduled from 5:00pm-7:00pm but Brent worked over (until 9:00pm) using his own personal time to ensure that all of our questions were answered. We never felt rushed throughout the inspection and we left with a peace of mind about our new house as well as new homeowner knowledge! We would definitely recommend Linkhorn Home Inspections, especially Brent Odson! read more

Used Linkhorn inspection group for my recent home inspection for pending house purchase. Brent Odson was the inspector. He did a very fantastic job!! He was very thorough, professional, skilled, and personable. He walked us through the whole house, inside and out, while explaining every issue or potential concern we may have to deal with in the near future. He was very patient with us, and did a really good job at explaining some of the more complex issues in layman's terms. He actually made the entire experience enjoyable for us and didn't make us feel like any of our questions were stupid. He pointed out issues that we would not have noticed ourselves. He was able to compose a very detailed report with pictures by that evening. Having gone through the home purchase and home selling processes in the past, the services he provided in this regard were the best! Additionally, he supplied us with an informational book as well as additional information on possible services from a variety of different types of companies that we might need once we purchase the home. Not only would I highly recommend Brent and Linkhorn to anyone going through the home inspection process, should I find myself in that position again I would reach out to them in a heartbeat! read more

I worked with Brent Odson, inspecting a house I'm buying, and overall he was very professional, friendly, and informative! I've ordered a home inspection before, with another company and another house, so I knew about what to expect, and Brent with Linkhorn definitely met my expectations. We walked through each room of the house, tested the permanent fixtures (water faucets, electrical outlets, furnace, etc), he pointed out issues as he encountered them, and I received a full write-up afterwards. I felt like the inspection was thorough and uncovered issues I wouldn't have found on my own! As an aside, always read the documents they send you, especially the ones they have you sign before they will perform the inspection, as this will set your expectation on what they will or will not inspect or do, and why. For instance, due to the weather and season, he did not get onto the roof to inspect it, nor did he inspect the AC. I noticed text to this effect in the paperwork before the inspection, so it was no surprise to me when this came up during the inspection, but I could see others being shocked by this, otherwise! read more

As a first time home buyer, making sure I knew what I was getting myself into was of the utmost importance. That's why I chose linkhorn to do my inspection. I called several companies and read reviews and settled on linkhorn after hearing positive feedback from others who have used them for their home inspections. My inspector was Brent Odson and he did not disappoint. Brent arrived on time and walked me through every room of the house and exterior pointing out all concerns. He informed me of major and minor repairs necessary and let me know which were most urgent and necessary. He was professional, extremely thorough, and very informative. I used linkhorn for radon inspection as well and I'm sure glad did. Like most things, I feel you get what you pay for regarding a home inspection. I received my detailed home inspection report within 24 hours and was very pleased with the attention to detail. Having the peace of mind that I now know any potential issues with my home was well worth the price. I will be recommending linkhorn and Brent to anyone I know in the market for a home inspection! read more

We added a room to our existing home. Upon inspection by the county, we were told of several deficiencies. The contractors used did not do a very good job and tried to exploit more money than originally agreed upon. We terminated their help prior to the job being finished. Beware of unlicensed, scamming contractors! Lesson learned the hard way! The job needed to be finished properly. I wanted every nut, bolt, crook, and cranny checked and corrected. I also wanted real professional contractors to complete our addition. A friend of mine suggested the Linkhorn Home Inspectors to uncover everything wrong. The best advice for such a horrible situation. I called them on Monday evening, they showed up at 8:30 am the following day. By noon Linkhorn had not only inspected everything, but they had also supplied me with a letterhead list of our room addition's deficiencies and possibilities of professional contractors to call. I was so impressed with the Linkhorn Home Inspection service. Yes, I would highly recommend them for any type of home inspection. They are efficiently spot on! read more

I have owned three homes (one of which we built from scratch) so I know a fair bit about construction and I know if a home inspector knows what they are doing. I chose Linkhorn because they are a local business, not part of a chain. I was impressed by the work Linkhorn did for me. First of all, I was very pleased that the office was able to schedule a condo inspection for me at 8:30 on a Sunday (who works on Sunday?) since I was unable to take time off work. When I got there, Brent had already examined the exterior and was in the attic when I came in. He was very pleasant and professional throughout the experience and took extra time to talk to me about specific things having to do with condos (since I have never owned one before). The inspection report was completed and emailed to me that same afternoon. The fee I paid was very reasonable (actually I think I paid about that much for a home inspection done in 1997). I recommend this company if you need a home inspection done and done right. read more

I had a great experience with Linkhorn Inspection group Inspector Brent. This is my first home and I was so worried on what could be found for repair. He walked me through the house and showed me the areas I would need to address and that would be going on his report. He continued and encouraged me to take notes myself. I have learned a lot I am glad I chose Linkhorn. Most importantly, he patiently explained everything I had a question on (which was a lot as I am a detail oriented individual) and gave me sufficient detail to understand my options for repair/maintenance, etc. He turned the report around that same day within a few hours, complete with pictures and extensive detail on his findings. Brent was extremely professional and was available for follow-up concerns and questions. I now feel much more confident and comfortable moving forward with purchase and knowing what I will face with the new home. Thank You Brent, I am sure you are making a huge impact for Linkhorn Inspection group. read more

My inspector was Brent. Our inspection time was 1:30pm. I arrived at 1:20 and he was already there waiting for me, so he was prompt. He was very personable and easy to talk to and ask questions to. He answered my questions in terms I could understand, and he walked me through the whole inspection. Where he noted problems, he gave me suggestions for fixes and how serious an issue it was. About halfway through the inspection, his camera died, but he had a backup and was still able to take pictures for the report. He seemed to be well equipped, with tech to measure heat and cold output for the central air and A/C, and test voltage in the electric sockets. He assured me his report would be available within 24hrs and it was. I found the report to be very thorough and included everything I had asked about and some things I did not. The report gae suggestions for fixes as well as the severity of the problem. The pictures in the document pointed out the problem areas for easy viewing. read more

At the time that we were buying our house we had thought that Linkhorn did a great job. There were many concerns that they found that helped us make a decision. Now that we have been in the house for 4 months we are finding things that should have been caught easily by an inspector. Our deck was not built to code. Three contractors have told us the issues should have been caught by our inspectors as they were obvious ones. The most recent situation was our furnace. There were birds that had been living in the actual furnace and the HVAC technician said that it was obvious and it should have been noticed by an inspector. Until now there was no need to turn on the furnace through the summer but the inspection happened in April and should have been evident. We did contact Linkhorn regarding the concerns with the deck and we were basically brushed off. We paid more than we planned for the inspection thinking the company was more thorough than others. We were mistaken. read more

I would strongly recommend using linkshorn inspections, but especially Brent Odson. My fiancé and I are first time homebuyers and both pretty young, so we lack knowledge when it comes to home inspections. When I went into the inspection I knew almost nothing, but by the time I left I fell like I had a better overall understanding! Brent took the time to go over everything with my fiancé and I. He was patient and kind and never made me feel like I had a stupid question. He took his time looking throughout the house at every little detail he could find to ensure we knew all of the details. He is very thorough, detailed, and professional. I received my report back later that night and I couldn't be happier with the results. The amount of pictures and details will for sure help my fiancé and I when it comes to fixing up our house to be our forever home. We can't thank you or linkhorn inspections enough. We are so glad that our realtor recommended us to you. read more

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the ease of scheduling the appointment for the home inspection. We were able to pick the day and time of the inspection and had no issues prior, during or after. Chris was our inspector and he was very friendly and thorough. He answered any questions that we had and showed us things that were important to know when thinking about purchasing our home. The best part about Linkhorn Home Inspection though, is the time afterwards. We've had a few minor issues (owner-induced)... and we've been able to pick up the phone and call Chris right away with any questions. He has always answered the phone (or called back immediately after) and has been very helpful! -- I don't believe that is part of his job description, but I love (and appreciate) that continues to care about the homes that he has inspected and the families he has met along the way. I would strongly recommend Linkhorn Home Inspections to everyone! read more

Jim and Dave were exceptional! They conducted a thorough inspection, identifying potential electrical safety hazards that we swiftly addressed with a licensed electrician. As retired firefighters, their focus on our family's safety was unwavering, and they brought invaluable experience, training, and expertise to the process. We also opted for the sewer camera inspection, which uncovered a blockage caused by construction debris left from the seller's renovations. Catching this early saved us time, money, and the headache of dealing with an emergency plumber. Additionally, Rob, our HomeBinder Assistant, was included in the inspection cost. He thoroughly researched our new home, helped us plan the initiation of all utilities, and even saved us money along the way! The entire experience with Linkhorn was truly white-glove, and we couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend them for their professionalism and comprehensive service. read more

Extremely happy with the customer service, promptness and quality of the work done. Like others, I used Yelp to help me chose a company and was not disappointed at all. I have used Linkhorn for two home inspections and the level of detail and thoroughness truly saved us from potentially making a mistake and secured us on the second home. I can't thank Jim Hoyt enough for his expertise and openness to allow me to ask some questions and his time to talk thru some of the discoveries he was making while never once making me feel like I was bothering him. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Linkhorn home inspection and Jim. Schedules are tight when it comes to a home inspection and while I requested Jim for the second inspection, he worked me into his schedule in a very timely manner. It is really nice to be able to put your faith in a company and feel good about the quality of services you are receiving. read more

I recommend Linkhorn Inspections Group, LLC, and Shawn Conoway, 100%. Since the first phone call to the last email, Shawn did amazing job for our condo. My daughter and I were both present during inspection. Shawn explained everything in detail, took pictures and videos of all rooms, appliances, heating and cooling systems, everything inside and outside, making sure we had complete inspection of the condo we are looking to purchase. After the inspection Shawn answered all our questions. Even after I read the report, viewed all photos and videos, I emailed Shawn with more questions. He was very detailed and very informative about things I was asking. Other employees at Linkhorn were very nice , very polite on the phone and worked with us during a tight work schedule. Thank you, Linkhorn company, and Shawn, for excellent service. We really appreciated everything you did for us! Sincerely, Ingrid and Kimberly M. read more
