Bill was referred to me by my real estate agent, who had had great experience using his services in the past. After I reached out to Bill, he responded very quickly and was able to schedule an inspection within the same week. Since I have a busy day job with an unpredictable schedule, I had to adjust the appointment time a couple times, but Bill was very patient and flexible throughout the process. It seemed that he had to shuffle his original schedule a little to make it work for me. On the day of inspection, Bill arrived at the property on time (before I did actually). He was very thorough and detail oriented throughout the inspection. He also took the time to explain what he saw to me and patiently answered all the questions I had. As the other reviewers said, Bill was very professional and knowledgeable. After the inspection, I received a very detailed inspection report with a very clear structure, detailed account of all issues found in the property (from minor ones to major ones) and easy-to-follow pictures and marks to support. I received the report in just two days. My great experience with Bill and 5 Star Inspection did not stop there. Bill continued to offer me one-off support well after the inspection. A couple weeks after inspection, he leveraged his own network to help me find a good foundation company. TWO MONTHS after the inspection, as I started remodeling my house, I reached out to Bill again with a question about my furnace (with very little hope that Bill might be able to help). Bill called me back in 5 minutes and spent quite some time with me over the phone to help me troubleshoot. To summarize, I had a great experience with 5 Star Inspection, and I highly recommend it to everyone who needs an home inspection.

Sometimes the news isn't great but hey better to know before the home purchase. Jon is patient and goes over his findings clearly and answers all my clients questions with intelligence and in spirit of helpfulness. The homeowner always receives a detailed report that methodically goes through the home and lists everything that he finds needs attention and then Jon explains why he flagged that item. I found his insight so useful and on more than one occasion he helped me learn how to best address a problem or fix a flaw. I highly recommend Jon and Hidden Valley Inspections he makes me look good and he does his job with integrity!

I connected with him through a referral from my real estate agent. He arrived early and was very thorough in going through this home. It brought great peace of mind knowing well-informed eyes were seeing and noting everything that I am not trained to see and know. His report came back quickly and is very well laid out and easy to read. he has provided a great road map of items for me to pay attention to and get repaired now or that are of potential concern and can be deferred. As I am from out of state and not knowing the local people and contractors I found Jon to be a wonderful contact in providing suggestions for multiple contractors to connect with. While he doesn't indorse one over another he provided a list of a few names of folks he has seen do good work in the past. This provided me a great deal of comfort as I embark on new and uncharted territories. Jon has been wonderful to work with and I HIGHLY recommend using him if you would like an honest, thorough, approachable, understanding and kind home inspector. He has far exceeded my expectations and has been present, available and supportive even after his initial job was completed and done. I had the very unfortunate event of having my main contractor die just as he was getting started on my project and Jon has checked in on me unprompted and offered additional connections to pursue. Having an insiders knowledge of the industry and reliable recommendations has be invaluable to me. He is highly professional and extremely trustworthy. If I could I would give him 10 stars!

Bobby was technical when we understood it and came down to our level for the things that we didn't understand as well.

He was willing to admit when something was out of his expertise and we might need another opinion and who to go to for that. Would 100% recommend his services.
