He did a thorough job and found a few items to address which we certainly will do before our house is listed. Mike is super clean, always wearing shoe coverings when in the house. He had a keep eye for the quality that went into our essentially rebuilding a home built in 1900 while trying to keep consistent with the vintage home. Great Value for Money. He went up and above on the service requested. We LOVED working with Mike. While being professional, he also had a great sense of humor and is extremely personable! 10 out of 10!! Thank you, Mike!

The owner and inspector utterly failed our home inspection. He issued his 64 page report, citing…read more"no signs of leaks or water intrusion" over 14 times. We bought our home and within two months had to replace the roof. The cost: $132,000. Other costly errors were: not citing all windows were single panes, all toilets were not water conserving- even the second sink in the kitchen leaked terribly and smelled of sewage when turned on. How could an "certified roof expert " miss these important conditions? Mike Hasty is a very bad home inspector.

Ron is truly the best inspector in the business. He is incredibly thorough, extremely…read moreknowledgeable, and takes his time to make sure nothing is overlooked. When you're buying a home, a detailed inspection is something you should never rush and I appreciate how Ron always goes above and beyond to make sure we fully understand what we're walking into. This is our second time using him, and once again he delivered exceptional service. We trust him completely. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Ron, for helping us with another home inspection. You really are the best!

I hired Ron to do an inspection as I was selling my parents' house and was not completely familiar…read morewith the current condition. I like to use local, small businesses whenever possible, and his reviews were excellent. My mistake was not noticing how old they were. He advised it would take 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete. He was there 5 hours when my realtor had to ask him to leave for the open house that was being held that day. He came back afterward to finish the roof inspection. He failed to complete an inspection for the kitchen due to "time constraints". However, he had time to note that there was a pet door that was a "safety" concern. He also stated that some items were issues that he was clearly wrong about ("minimal" strapping on a water heater that had 2 straps from a newly purchased kit and a third steel strap, replacement windows that he stated were the "builder type from the original construction"). While I appreciate thoroughness, spending time nitpicking every minor detail in a 61 year old house but not completing the full inspection I paid for is not acceptable. He did not get my name right on the report, even though I wrote it for him on the contract I signed. He did not provide the hard copy report that was promised, nor did he email it to me - I had to get it from my realtor. I'm giving him a 3 for thoroughness. If you have unlimited time to wait for this guy to complete the inspection, go for it. He may have been a great inspector in his prime, but personally I think he needs to hang it up and retire already.

THE BEST HOME INSPECTOR WE HAVE EVER HAD AND THE BEST COMPANY WE HAVE EVER USED! We are currently…read morelooking for a house - this will be our 4th, and hopefully our last, home. Consequently, this is our 4th home inspection. Every other inspector has been... let's say, inept. More like they didn't know their a** from their elbow! They have all missed HUGE problems that we were then forced to deal with on our own once we purchased the house. Pest infestations, water leaks, useless rusted out appliances and so much more. Dayne Haigh was our inspector - he was prompt and professional and he found EVERYTHING! Not only did he find every problem (in the areas he was supposed to inspect - we did have separate inspectors for the roof and the plumbing etc.), but the report was unbelievably thorough! Everything was so well organized and explained, and all of the problems he mentioned were backed up by pictures. Even more shocking was the mold report that we received from them. This was a separate report, but I cannot tell you how thankful we are that we chose to include this add on! The MoldSPORE count was off the charts high, contained various types of mold spores and let us know that there was likely mold THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE! All of our inspectors were excellent, but our home inspector from HomeMaster was by far the best. Because of his reports we pulled out of escrow just in time. When you looked at the house, you would never have anticipated all of those hidden disasters just waiting to bankrupt us! We will never use anyone but HomeMaster for our future inspections. The amount of money they saved us was astronomical, and well worth the price of the report - which, by the way, we received very quickly! Thank you HomeMaster, from the bottom of our hearts and our wallets.

Since, the quality of the house was impeccable. Aaron Tibbs found every little item to pick on. From a loose wire left in the attic (not connected to anything) to seismic gas valve that's installed and working perfectly. Making SAFETY and SEVERE suggestions on more items than necessary. Items that that were working that scared the buyer into thinking the house had major electrical issues. A roof that had absolutely no leaks through the worst storms in the last 10 years was labeled as major water stain leaks found. Again suggesting the roof needed replacement. We had gone through the roof and the attic making sure there were no issues. The roof was old but absolutely no leaks! Inspectors job is to suggest items that can cause a fire, damage, water intrusion etc... But to point out nonsense and suggestions that scare and spook agents and buyers is going over and beyond. Don't ever use this company! We've been doing real estate since 2003, this was the absolutely the Worts inspection we have ever had.
