DO NOT RECOMMEND. 0 STARS. I regret paying for Chris'…read moreinspection (if you can even call it that), as all it has resulted in is thousands of dollars out-of-pocket and the home warranty company to deny my claims. VERY frustrated with the "service" I received. I was too trusting going into buying my first home and relying on the home inspection report and the inspector to be thorough. He only "visually inspects the operation" (per his contract) and does not actually test the components to make sure they are functioning properly. I relied on his report and then after moving in found out 5 electrical panel breakers were bad and 1 wire had incorrect sizing. He stated on his report they were "no visual issues" and "correct wire size per breaker" - both which were false!! (See photo) This cost me $2,811 in repairs. The second issue I had was with the HVAC not reaching temperature. He told me it was operating as expected and a couple of degrees off was not a big deal and I didn't need to worry about it. I TRUSTED him (big mistake!!) and now I am paying the price (~$16,000) to replace it, as it is indeed a BIG deal to have an HVAC unit that is half the size it should be. Before getting the repairs done, I reached out to him and he told me if there were any issues to "give him a chance to correct it before someone else makes repairs". So I reached out to him about the HVAC gas leak before I had any repairs done and then he responded saying he noted it didn't make temperature and he suggested having service done, but he would not help me try to correct the issue like he previously stated.

Very disappointed with the customer service I received. CKA Home Inspections completed an…read moreinspection and didn't notify us until hours after the inspection was complete that they would be unable to complete the roof inspection. We had to scramble after business hours to get a roofing inspector out the next morning so we could have all inspection reports before the end of our option period. It caused us a lot of stress and frustration. I reached out to CKA Home Inspections after the fact and they just stopped replying to my emails. Very unprofessional. If they had communicated before the inspection or even once they got to the property that they were unable to inspect the roof, then we would have had more time to get someone out to inspect the roof. TERRIBLE SERVICE! Very disappointed especially with their lack of accountability and ghosting us after the fact.

Let me start off by saying that I'm a first time home owner so going through this process is…read morecompletely out of my element but this is by far the best decision that I could've made to go with this company for a second inspection ... Since I'm a single mother and a business owner I am very big on timing and staying on schedule. My inspector showed up on time ready to work. After only 20 minutes of inspecting my home he instructed me that I would need to get my AC service ASAP! So he actually called an AC person for me so I can move forward or find something that I could do in the meantime till I was able to get someone out to fix the AC . His expertise advise couldn't have been more accurate because not even 48hr later my main AC drain line clogged which caused my main drain line to clog which also caused the water to make the ceiling in my daughters bathroom to collapse.. * * If I would've never gotten this inspection I would've not known where to start when my ceiling collapse or who to call ... This inspection saved me so much money , time , and heart ach because I knew what was the cause of the issue. * * I purchased my home just shy of 2 years ago pre-Covid and the first inspector I went with was a well-known company and they did NOT do nearly as much as Straight 4ward Inspections at a fraction of the price. Not only was my inspection very thorough, accurate and left me feeling more knowledgeable, it also gave me Peace about what exactly going on in my home and reasons to my whys.My inspection was also done in a timely manner and very reasonably priced. I actually received more than what I paid for. I'm so grateful I found this company and have recommend them to all my love ones , Thank you for your service (Pictures below are my daughter bathroom after ceiling collapse )

I have gone through the…read morehome buying experience once before and my previous inspector is not even in the same league as Don. He took showed up early and was very courteous and open to our concerns on the house. He took home inspections to a whole new level. He explained the process before beginning and he encouraged us to follow him and ask any questions we had. He explained issues in detail and if they were just cosmetic or problematic. He even showed us where gas and water cutoff valves were and how to tell it there was a water leak in the house. He informed us of improvements that could be made and what improvements would not be cost-effective. He came highly recommended from my realtor and I can see why. Not to mention he is a military veteran.

His initial assessment was there are a few minor issues, but they can be addressed by a handyman. Once we moved in, we noticed much more than what a handyman would be able to repair. We brought up our concerns and he was immediately denying any accountability as things can change in a matter of a few months. What did we have wrong upon purchase? One water heater started to leak and then the next one stopped working. Both had to be replaced ($4,500). HVAC unit 1 stopped working in July and then the next HVAC unit stopped a month later ($15,200). 7 gas leaks were found inside & outside our home ($4,275). Our Sub-Zero had a freon leak and our Miele appliances stopped working (multiple visits to address by specialist techs $2,400). We had foundation issues which we started to noticed within 2 months of living there as doors that previous didn't close could close and doors that did close were no longer able to close. That was due to a rotted cast iron sewer line (total cost to date is $63,000). And nearly everything has been replaced on our pool in regards to equipment except the filter (pool heater, pool pump, pool sweep, and electrical). He is professional at the time, but this was extremely infuriating when you purchase a home and then have all these unexpected expenses because of a poor inspector.

She probably has some kind of deal worked out with him to give her kick-backs or something... This guy did a terrible job on our inspection. I was planning to be there through the whole process, but unfortunately got called to an important meeting at work so I had to leave halfway through. He did not inspect the appliances at all but signed off that everything "appeared to be in order". When we moved into the house less than 2 weeks later the fridge/freezer was covering everything in ice and "snow", and one of the AC units did not work at all! We had to spend several hundred dollars in repairs to our house right away because this guy did not do a thorough job on the inspection.

None of this was brought to my attention despite me being at the house during my inspection. Very early on in the inspection process I was subtly encouraged to go wait in my car as I was apparently asking too many questions. As a new home buyer I thought it necessary to see as much of the house as possible so I was aware of any and all deficiencies- I also just wanted to learn a thing or two. Overall very unhappy with the inspection as things were not caught that should have been and I'm paying for it now.
