We were extremely pleased with Monsivais Inspections. David is very professional and we appreciated his attention to detail. We were only going to be in town for a short time and he responded quickly and was able to get our inspection done promptly so that we did not have to make an additional trip. He patiently explained the results of his inspection and answered all of our questions. If you are in need of a home inspection, I would highly recommend Monsivais Inspections. read more

The house inspector was referred to me by another Veteran. From the first call to him until he left the house after the inspection, he was very friendly, he took time out of the inspection when he found something wrong to explain the issue. He stayed after the inspection to answer all of our questions. I am so glad a friend referred him to me and I will refer him to any one that needs a house inspected. read more

Covid precautions taken very seriously. David has inspected multiple properties for me and I will continue to hire him as he is consistently efficient, insightful, knowledgeable, and he embodies integrity. I've been very pleased with all three inspections he has done for me. This last inspection he was an integral part of when I had a re-inspect in which the seller's fix it guy faked a electrician's license number. It was David's feedback that led me to go look up the license which I learned was fraudulent. This experience has brought out the best in this company. He is exactly why you hire inspectors. It saves you from making a large purchase in which people say are repaired but we're not. He protects you from fraudulent claims and from bad repair jobs as well. He is thorough and because of that quality, we have caught instances where plumbing was left unconnected and running water was seen under the home (not all inspectors would have caught this). Further, he hires out the termite portion of the inspection and even that guy is incredible! The reports are fantastically detailed so the professional can go in and fix what needs to be fixed. They're also written in a clear and concise manner so the average person can understand where there may be deficiencies. Good luck and thank you, David! read more

Mr. Monsivais could not be better. He's friendly, professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. We had an accepted offer in on a house, and were certain it was the right place for us. However, Mr. Monsivais found several issues that required our attention: improperly installed roof, an HVAC system that was not fully functional AND improperly installed to the point that gas would leak when the valve was engaged, water leaks from the improperly installed roof, and many other problems. Additionally, the house had extremely significant termite damage through about 1/4 of the property, which we learned from EPest, a company that David partners with. Ultimately, we decided to rescind our offer on the house because Mr. Monsivais was honest & straight-forward. What a RELIEF to have not wasted a significant amount of money in purchasing a money pit. We would have been upside-down in the house before we ever got in it, and David kept us from making a horrible mistake. Mr. Monsivais ensured two things from us: 1) We will not hire another home inspector unless he's not available in our option period. 2) We will recommend him above all others to our friends. Thank you, David. You have helped our family make a great decision during one of the most important periods in our lives. We'll be hiring Mr. Monsivais again - hopefully, he'll have better news for us the second time around! We'll update this review with the outcome of the next inspection. read more

Recommend: Never. Price: 9/10 Short: unprofessional. Seemed like it was an inconvenience for him to come out and inspect my home. Save your money. Rude comments. Quick and not thorough. He doesn't care. No customer service skills. Sloppy. Experience: Sad to say it but I was expecting a lot more from him after reading everyone's reviews. I have a new home that was built from the ground up by a builder. As soon as he gets off his car he shakes his head and makes a rude comment that I even called him out on to make sure I heard him correctly. As a customer from a builder standpoint, you have no control of who will be at the house and what will be working or available at the time you schedule the inspection, which I don't think he understood. There was about 4 cleaners and 2 subcontractors working at the house along with the A/C company installing our ac. He complained for a while pointing out how many people were in the house and how we weren't ready for him, I simply asked if he's able to work around them, and if this was a big deal. He said no and he can work around them. I paid for a full inspection which included A/C, at the time of arrive the ac was not connected yet but still got charged the full amount and was offered to come back at a rate of $120 ish or more. I was shocked he didn't understand the circumstances and waited for him to offer to come back another time to check the A/C since I paid for a full inspection, but you get no customer service skills because he works for himself and not a company. His team and himself went through my home in about 10-15 minutes which was kind of fast and made me think if he actually checked everything. I do not recommend his services. read more

David helped us with an inspection on our investment property. He was incredibly detail oriented and went over the inspection report with us over the phone after giving us a chance to review it. Process and procedures were all very seamless. Would definitely recommend him to someone buying a home in the area. read more

David is a true professional. He knows how to explain issues on a house and does a very thorough job. My wife, Vicki, and I are both Realtors and highly recommend him. read more

Awesome - detailed - great work. Inspectors really took their time throughout our home to check everything. They got on our high pitched roof to check all shingles. Came back with our inspection report that same day and everything was perfectly described & photographed. My husband & I were both very happy to of hired Monsivais Inspections. HIGHLY Recommended! read more

Very rude and unprofessional. Made rude comments,had a bad attitude and left all the blinds up in my home I had to go back and ask then to put everything back how it was before they began their inspection.. tested my fire alarms without watching me first and scared my toddler and newborn.. broke my window sill piece and didn't even tell me or tet to fix it. They were a mess and all over the place... never would reccomend them to anyone. if I could give zero stars I would. read more

Very informative and includes a detailed home inspection with explanations and photos.

David is a perspective home buyers best friend. A true professional and master of his craft. He was incredibly detailed and made sure that I understood all of the issues during the inspection, large and small. The inspection was incredibly detailed and when we were finished he sat down and made sure to go through all of his notes and answered any questions I had and even some I didn't know that I had! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. Thank you David for being so helpful and accommodating, you made this part of the home buying process very easy! Will absolutely recommend to others. read more

David was incredibly helpful. He advised me to search for someone who was not just certified but also licensed and knowledgeable. I chose him because he is all of these things. Although I was not present at the inspection due to purchasing the house from out of state, David made things easy. Keeping me updated and in the loop. Even working with me when the property mangers were late for the inspection. He also gave me advice when I asked although it wasn't required. I received a detailed report with many pictures of things I missed when I first saw the property. I highly recommend him as an inspector. read more

What service was rendered by Monsivais Inspections? A: home inspection on a newly constructed house Why Monsivais Inspections? I wasn't able to walk through the house with David. Despite of me not being there, David was able to conduct a thorough inspection and provide me with an amazing inspection report. This honesty and integrity that were displayed through his actions is all I need to say about David's business. Nobody ever does business like David. He's always available (weekdays and weekends) and will make sure that you as a customer is always informed and be involved in the process. Quality of work? Phenomenal. Reports will be able to walk you through what things are wrong with the house and will give you talking points to go over with your builder. What about the quote? Pricing is very reasonable. Quote is not much off the actual price at the end of the inspection. David will go above and beyond for you. Would you recommend to your family and friends? YES! Thanks David for making this inspection a painless process. read more

Monsivias was great..he is for the BUYER!! Not the seller or realtor. I am a new go home buyer and doing it all by myself..so there is a lot of learning and processing...He was genuine and HONEST...thank you so much for all your help...I end up not moving forward which was the greatest decision I have made, I will definitely ask again to do my next home inspection....see you soon ANOTHER FIVE STARS.. Would give more if allowed to. David is amazing...the second house which was a new built David inspected needed a lot of work...David inspected 3 separate times and I would not have closed without his green light. My seller and builder was not to find of David's detail work at all. But after the green light from David, my seller informed me David did such a great job he wants to hire him to do his home when he downsizes. I would recommend David to everyone, I already did to a co-worker. Thank you so much David, you are excellent and genuine for all buyers. Will use again for my before year warranty is up. read more

Great experience with Dave the owner. He responded very quickly to texts. I also found out that he has a degree in construction science, as well as holding the highest professional certification, making him extremely qualified as an inspector. Looking forward to working with him again soon. read more

My experience with Monsivais inspection was one of the best experiences of an overall stressful home buying experience. David was the ultimate professional who took his time and completed a thorough completely dependable inspection. I feel confident in my home knowing he supported the quality of construction. He is easy to reach by phone and, if anything, I feel undercharges for the quality of work he performs. His report was lengthy but concise, and received very expediently. I have already shared his phone number with multiple friends and strangers. I highly recommend!! read more

What an amazing experience! Communication was immediate, even after hours. Called to ask prices. David taught me so much in our initial contact, I knew he was our guy! Was on time, personable and oh so patient with a cranky homeowner AND all our various questions. I can't believe how totally thorough he was. Turned out our 'perfect well maintained dreamhome ' had some serious issues we never would have known about! Our final report was over 30 pages complete with pictures. Get an inspection and have David do the inspecting! read more

David has inspected 7 homes for us in the past 2 years. His quality service can't be beat. We have seen the work of other inspectors and he is by far the best. He takes the inspection to a whole new level, climbing on the steepest roofs and checking areas others miss or do not include. When we sold one of our homes, we compared our buyers report from David's the new buyer's report from another inspector. It was great seeing two reports on the same house. It validated what we already knew; David by far provides a more in-depth inspection and quality report. We'll be using him again next week and forever afterwards. read more

David did a great job with my inspection. It was very through and the inspection report was provided to me the same day. Overall I was happy with the details reported in the inspection. Only four stars because it was not disclosed until AFTER the inspection that David does not inspect 220 volt.outlets. "Complete inspection including electrical" was promised. Not complete - excluding 220 volt. read more

We first met David when he came to the home we were selling and did an inspection representing the buyers. The home is fairly new and very well built, but he still found issues after a very thorough inspection. Based on that experience, we knew we needed to hire David when we purchased our new property. David did a thorough inspection of our property currently under contract and found issues that I believe others would have missed. He is knowledgeable, honest, and very professional. Thanks to his expertise, the owner of the property is doing important repairs before closing that would have cost us a lot of money! read more

First time needing a home inspector, expecting st least a fair work. David exceeded those expectations. He not only was a real professional, but extremely insightful and meticulous with his work. You can tell he's been doing this for many years. I was not expecting a such extensive, detailed report. If it wasn't for that report, I couldn't of negotiated a better deal on the home I'm purchasing. Highly recommend his services next time you're in need of a home inspection in San Antonio with decent prices too. read more

David is incredible. We are first time home buyers and wanted to be present for the inspection to get an idea of where things are located/ what to expect in the future. He was patient, explained everything as we went along, and gave us opportunities to ask questions. He is genuine and thorough. He certainly makes you feel valued as a customer, and puts your mind at ease, knowing you have an inspector who goes above and beyond. It's a large purchase and it shouldn't be taken lightly, you should invest your money in the best inspector out there, and David is it. read more

So grateful to have had David do the inspection on our house, he was so thorough he took his time looking at every single part of the house. He was so professional throughout the whole process I've never had a better inspector and have already recommended him to everyone in my neighborhood read more

After contacting several top inspectors in the area, David came to be on the very top of my list. Just as he promised in our conversations prior to the inspection, David has done a phenomenal job. He went above and beyond to make sure that we are well informed of the condition of the house we are purchasing. He has a rich background in construction which gives him advantages in eyeballing any defects, poor workmanship and more when it comes to home inspection. Not only is he a true professional, David is also reliable, truthful, genuine, and personal. Working with him is such a joy! I'm so grateful that I found David as my inspector, and I will definitely come back to him with my next purchase(s). Highly recommend him for all my friends and the realtors I know. read more

Highly recommend... great communication and advice for seller look out what wrong with the house. Always answer phone when I called. He work hard for his money. He took his time to inspection, not like took an hour and half in 3200 square feet as my last inspection. His report is easy to read with all photo... very happy with his service read more
