We were very impressed with the home inspection that Kevin performed for us. He was extremely…read moredetailed and professional, noting recommendations and items for follow-up by our builder that we had missed during our punch list walk-through. Kevin inspected each nook and cranny of the home, including roof, attic, and electrical. He took photos of each area that were included in the report delivered the same evening as he did the inspection. Very prompt and very thorough report, including a 2-page summary for our builder to take as additional punch list items. Being new to the area, he addressed questions we had about construction in a different part of the country and took the time to explain things that were both necessary and unnecessary. Since Kevin is a civil engineer, we felt very comfortable discussing technical aspects of our new home. Kevin was terrific and we highly recommend his services. The value we received from his inspection outweighs an insurance policy and we will hire him again for our one-year walk-through as well as five or ten years down the road to give another independent, unbiased, neutral opinion on home items needing remediation, repair, or touch-up.

The inspector was thorough, professional, and delivered his report promptly. He assessed everything including the solar system, batteries, water heater, furnace, electrical, and overall structure. His findings were honest and detailed -- exactly what you need when making a significant purchase. The travel fee to reach our remote property was very reasonable and absolutely worth it. We came away with a clear understanding of the property's condition and confidence in our purchase decision. If you need an inspection in the Yavapai County area -- Silver Hammer is the real deal. Highly recommend!

Steve found 40 separate items that needed attention, four of which were in violation of city code. Steve's phone conversation right after the inspection was comprehensive and clearly communicated.

We are again looking for another property to purchase and will ask for Steve to do our inspection once again.

I can not recommend this company. They missed so many issues with a house we bought last year. I…read moreunderstand they can't see or test everything, but what they missed was completely visible. One major issue is that our hot water heater was installed completely wrong, leading to what will be thousands in repairs/replacement. This would have been very easy for them to see. We paid them nearly $1k expecting they would find issues like this that were easy to spot since it's on the exterior of our home. They also failed to find that our laundry room has no hot water. I'm very disappointed that we spent all that money thinking we had an experienced inspector who would find all such problems, only to discover we will spend thousands correcting it when it could have been the seller's responsibility.

The service is impeccable and Steve's attention to detail saved me money as he found things that maybe another less experienced inspector might skip over.

I reached out to several home inspection companies for quotes, and Desert State Home Inspections…read moreimmediately stood out from the rest. From the moment I sent a text message, Leigh responded right away--professional, clear, and incredibly efficient. She had me scheduled for an inspection within minutes. We never even spoke over the phone, yet her communication and customer service were top-notch. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the appointment the day before. A full refund was processed immediately--no questions asked. Leigh was so understanding and accommodating of our situation, which left a lasting impression. Fortunately the following week, I was able to reschedule and once again, Leigh made it happen seamlessly. Our assigned inspector Marc Freislinger came out on a Sunday, arriving early and already working when we got there. He was friendly, thorough, and easy to talk to. During the review, he walked us through everything clearly and even offered valuable advice on what to ask the builder regarding repairs. That same evening, he sent a detailed inspection report--complete with clear photos and notes--just as promised. I can't recommend Desert State Home Inspections highly enough. Their professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart. Their pricing is very fair compared to other companies, and they even offer a $100 discount if you use them again before your one-year builder walk through. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and customer-focused inspection company, Desert State Home Inspections absolutely deserves your business. They certainly have mine for years to come. Thanks again Leigh & Marc!

He gave us a very good price that included sewer scope.

We will be calling him again for follow up before our warranty ends. Thank you.

But the thing that I really appreciated was that after the inspection, they've already been paid, and I'm hiring people to do the repairs. I texted the inspector several times for follow up details and help weeding out the bs of some of the tradespeople trying to sell me stuff. He was responsive and helpful, even though he didn't need to be. Turnaround time was also good. I hired them and they were out for the inspection within a couple of days. The report came same day. I'd recommend Patterson for your home inspection.

Here's our experience: 1.He convinced us, as the buyers, to…read morepay for his sewer inspection, but we later discovered that the property has a septic system and that the seller was legally responsible for having it inspected and certified, not the buyer. 2. After we had already agreed on the inspection fee, he requested additional payment, claiming that inspecting the crawlspace took longer than expected. 3. He then wanted to charge extra to inspect the hot tub, even though he had previously agreed to include it in the inspection price. As a result, we ended up paying more than $1,000 for the inspection. 4. The inspection report reflected a lack of expertise, with many items simply recommending "further investigation" rather than providing meaningful findings. 5. The fireplace produced very little flame during the inspection; however, he concluded that there was no issue based solely on the seller's agent's statement that it was functioning properly. When I questioned why the fireplace produced so little flame if there was nothing wrong with it, he stated that he did not have expertise in evaluating that issue. 6. He also had a very unprofessional attitude throughout the process. 7. Later, we hired another inspector for a different house and were provided with an inspection report that had been prepared by him for the seller. Our inspector identified two code violations that were not documented in his report. Lesson learned: Don't automatically use the inspector recommended by your real estate agent. Consider researching and selecting an independent inspector so you can make your own decision.

I appealed to Daylan to work with me on his poor home inspection and at least offer me a "50 percent $300 refund" on my $600 inspection.
