This review is long overdue -- Paul Grew from Good Guys Home Inspection inspected my home back in…read morelate February 2025, and I'm still incredibly grateful for the service he provided. First, major kudos to Good Guys for their fair pricing. In a market where some inspectors charge $500 or more, their rates were refreshingly reasonable without sacrificing quality. This was my second home-buying experience, and I can confidently say my inspector from 2017 doesn't even come close to how awesome Paul was. The difference in quality, communication, and professionalism was night and day. Paul truly set a new standard for what a home inspection should be. As an active duty military member buying a new build remotely, I needed someone reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative -- and Paul checked every box. He's also prior military, and it shows. His professionalism, precision, and clear communication reflected the kind of discipline and care that comes from that background. From the start, Paul was personable and responsive. I actually called around during the Christmas holiday week, and he was one of the few who picked up the phone. He patiently answered all my questions, giving me genuine peace of mind without any salesy pressure or false promises. The home ended up needing three re-inspections before closing, and Paul never once rushed the process. He worked hand-in-hand with my realtor to make sure the builder addressed every single issue -- we were able to firmly delay closing until everything was properly resolved. His attention to detail was phenomenal. Though the report had a number of findings, the ones that stood out to me were nails protruding from the roof, gaps in the flooring, and a major gap in the roof fascia that would've easily let critters into the attic. I never would've caught those things on my own. If you're in the military or just want an honest, thorough inspector who truly advocates for you, I can't recommend Paul Grew enough. Even months later, I'm still thankful for how smooth and supported he made this process feel.

Adams Home Inspection helped me out in a big way! I needed a timely inspection that others…read moredeclined. Adam was also booked for some time forward. Adam took the time to explain the inspection process to me and discribed in detail the other services they offer. Adam later spoke to Seth who was kind enough to squeze me in on his day off and called me back with the good news. Seth conducted my inspection and explained his findings minutes after the inspection and sent a professional detailed 89 page report later that evening that included a great deal of pictures and even included drone shots. I was very impressed with the thoroughness and detail of the report with such a quick turn around. I really appreciate the accommodation and pro work I recieved from Adam and Seth. I feel like I got a good deal and might be using them again soon for their other services offered. I would confidently recomend them to anyone in need of home inspection work.

I learned about Adams Home Inspection from a list Texas Association of Real Estate Inspector's…read more(TAREI) and San Antonio Texas Association of Real Estate Inspector's (SATAREI) certified. She marked the top 3 inspectors she had worked with previously. In addition, she provided a list of questions we should use to interview multiple inspectors before selecting one. I called Jeff because he was #1 on her list. After spending 20 minutes discussing home inspections and items to looking for with homes builders here in San Antonio, I had answers to all the questions I was supposed to ask plus more. Jeff shows a dedication to the customer and to the field of providing quality homes the homebuyers of San Antonio. I hired him immediately. I was in the process of building a new home with a local homebuilder and he has a process to inspect the home at 5 points during the build process to ensure everything from the foundation, walls, and roof, plus everything else is to code and safe. I joined him at every inspection and he always beat me there and provided dedicated walk-through's of the inspection and written reports within a day. His reports and advice assisted us in having the builder make many corrections to provide a better quality finished home. We ended up not buying that house, partially due to the inspection reports but mostly because it wasn't the right now for us. Fast forward two months and we put in an offer on another home. I called Jeff immediately and asked for him to inspect the new property. He shifted around his schedule to accommodate getting the inspection done during the option period. He identified some structural items and other items that needed to be fixed. He recommended I have a structural engineer review the items and provide a second opinion. He was able to refer me to a structural engineer and he has been amazing. I was nervous about proceeding to close with the items he found but based upon Jeff's advice and the structural engineer we closed on the house and hired the engineer to make the recommended changes. Jeff cares about his clients and he went above and beyond by following up with the structural engineer and going to house to discuss the inspection items and needed repairs. I cannot recommend Jeff Adams and Adams Home inspection enough. He continually went above and beyond to ensure we had the best and most complete information we needed to make informed decisions through the process. He is responsive to calls and text messages, is very personable, and his rates are reasonable.

I was initially satisfied with the open wall inspection on a new home build. Later, I found that…read morethere were a few areas that left me dissatisfied. 1. After the initial inspection, a City of San Marcos inspector inspected the home and found that there was a problem with the trusses. A structural engineer had to inspect afterwards to certify that the repairs were corrected. This was not discovered during the Lange open wall inspection. 2. I felt that the support upright, which appeared to be a load bearing post, was inadequate on one corner of the home. It was simply some 2x4's. This was at the time brought to the attention of the inspector, who related there didn't seem to be any concern. I had no other like-models being built to compare the upright posts to. When I later found the same model in the framing stage, I noted that the post that seemed inadequate in my build, was substantially beefed up in this new build. I contacted Lange and asked them to advise me where I could go to get an opinion. A repair at that stage would have been easy to have corrected. Instead of advising me of the simple question that I asked, I just got the simple CYA response: - My eye didn't pick that up that day (bowing boards) - Whether that is proper load bearing, we don't have the papers and I'm not an engineer I just go by what is seen on the day of installation We didn't email the inspection company in order to complain about the inspection, we emailed and directly asked: "where you would you go to get this question resolved quickly? If this were your home, what would you do?" I was hoping to get a structural engineer referral. Time was of the essence and I didn't appreciate the inspector trying to cover himself, rather than giving my husband the answer he sought. To our surprise, the builder agreed with us and corrected the apparent defect. When we told the inspector the builder agreed with us, he corrected his report. At first, he wouldn't. We are getting a different inspection company for the next phase inspection.

Come on guys, next time you are learning how to inspect, don't take my new ac unit apart. The AC repair gent was wondering why you opened the AC in the first place.

I highly recommend Woodenthumb for anyone who needs a home inspector! My wife and I had been…read morelooking at mid century modern homes and Michael Morrisette of Woodenthumb looked at two properties for us. We rejected the first home in a large part due to the inspection report which listed in great detail all of the deficiencies and problems with the house. He looked at the roof and went down below the house which was a pier and beam structure. My wife and I were amazed because looking at the inside and outside of the house we didn't notice anything. With our second home with a lot less problems, Woddenthumb gave us a detailed inspection report with lots of photos which we used to address issues with the seller to fix including our house not having a chimney cover. I now have a reference with details like the year and make of our A/C unit.

Mike Morissette of WoodenThumb is outstanding and we would definitely recommend to anyone needing…read moreany type of inspection or home-related consultation. He's very thorough, detail-oriented and knowledgeable. We've used him three times: for the initial home inspection, for a follow-up inspection on a newly installed roof and for a home maintenance consultation. During the pre-purchase home inspection, he walked the roof and found that approximately half of the shingles had not been fully glued down during the original installation in 2016. We worked with our realtor to negotiate a new roof install as a part of the purchase. If Mike had not walked the entire roof during the inspection, the problem would not have been found. He also re-inspected the new roof after installation and identified a couple of minor issues that we then had fixed before closing. We asked Mike to come back a month later to walk us through the key maintenance items for our home. He took us through each area, explaining step-by-step how and when to perform the needed maintenance. We've been homeowners for over 25 years and got new and useful tips and info to keep our home healthy and well-maintained.

My dishwasher wasn't cleaning my dishes so I started my own inspection. I discovered that the dishwasher was connected to the cold water line under kitchen sink. I called the home warranty people that the seller purchased when I bought the house and told them what was going on. I explained in detail everything and had to pay the $85 service call up front. They sent out a appliance repair person and he found what I already knew was wrong. The home warranty company is a real joke I've had them come out 5 times at the tune of $690. I didn't want to deal with the home warranty people do I called my own plumbing company. He reversed the valves and that was another $350. Hey big 24 or should I say little 24 whats going on I think you need to get rid of some of your inspectors or send them back to school. As I've said in all my reviews don't hire a inspector that's buddies with your realtor.

Outstanding Home Inspection - Highly Recommend!…read more This is my second time working with Ryan, Superior Inspector, and once again, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail, professionalism, and care that Ryan brings to his work. He performed my first inspection, where he uncovered some critical defects that might have otherwise been missed. Most recently, I hired him again for my 2-year builder warranty inspection -- and he delivered another top-tier experience. Ryan conducted an incredibly thorough inspection, complete with a detailed, easy-to-understand report that included clear photographs and videos of every issue he found. Thanks to his meticulous report, I was able to submit everything to my builder, and they immediately scheduled repairs for every item listed. It's rare to find someone this knowledgeable, reliable, and committed to doing the job right and the cost was great as well. I truly appreciate the outstanding work and peace of mind that Ryan has provided me. Highly recommend Ryan, Superior Inspector, to anyone needing a home inspection -- you will not be disappointed!
