I was extremely impressed with Scott Home Inspection. Dave was very thorough in doing the survey results walk through, explaining every detail and appliance we went over. From the first phone call to set up the appointment until receiving our results, everything was seamless, everyone was extremely pleasant to work with and I will definitely be recommending Scott Home Inspection to others and will certainly use again down the road. read more

The inspectors were very professional, very COVID conscious, and very thorough. They explained in detail to me personally their findings, and followed up with a very easy to read and understand on line report. Highly recommend. read more

Dave was our inspector and he was very thorough and took time to explain everything to us. We got a detailed report the same evening. Would definitely recommend. read more

Scheduling and online report were great. However, we were less than satisfied with our inspector (Joe). We have had far more detailed inspections from other companies in the past. There were items in the report that didn't even match the property; for example, comments about city water connection when the home was on well water. The report noted that he couldn't find the water shut off, and it was even captured in a picture! The in-person review was cursory and no specific materials or notes were shared with us at that time. Several details re: safety features were also missed and not included in the report. read more

Their website is fantastic. Being able to book online, select services, choose your inspector and have a quote instantly is great. They reached out shortly after by phone to go over everything and explain some stuff. Then they will handle everything from there. Dave was thorough and helped explain some things to us being first time homebuyers. He didn't mind talking at all and made everything very easy. read more

Excellent and informative. User friendly site and professional and pleasant experts perform the work. Performed both rental and new home inspections for me this month, and I'm 100% satisfied. read more

Our inspector was Joe Ophoff, and he was quite thorough. Joe likely spent about 2 hours going through a prefabricated list of home items with what Scott Home Inspection provides their inspectors with. Joe then spent another half an hour explaining to us what the report would likely highlight and we could best work through it. We've owned 4 homes in our lives, this being the fifth, and three of the previous homes had inspections and none were anywhere close to as thorough as Joe's. If anyone is looking for a recommendation for a home inspector, then we would recommend Joe Ophoff, hands down. We give Joe 5 stars. As for our 4-star review, we do so as we only give Scott Home Inspection 3 stars. The reason for this is that from the day we made the appointment we were pestered to "pay the bill" before the work was even complete. We were sent both emails and received phone calls asking for us to pay well in advance. Perhaps we're old school, but this is not professional. You pay when the work is complete, not before. A deposit is one thing, payment in full is another. Lastly, the cost for a basic 3 hour inspection was $480, and that is a bit much. Did Joe receive any fair portion of that $160 an hour? We think not. Scott Home Inspection has too much overhead and too much profit going to the top. Pay your inspectors more and charge a little less and you'll find that sweet spot that brings you even more business. Nevertheless, thank you to Scott Home Inspection for providing a great inspector in Joe Ophoff. read more

Scott Home was recommended by my realtor, and I'm glad. We were super impressed by our inspector, Dave Spielman. This is the 6th home we have bought, and Dave was very thorough and knowledgeable, and explained everything to us. He was patient with our many questions. The report is a very nice format also and very thorough.Their customer service team has also been very responsive. read more

Prompt and thorough! When buying a house it is important to know what you are getting into. Scott's thorough inspection and comprehensive report allowed me to make informed decisions on repairs and purchase negotiations. Thank you!! read more

We have made an offer for house in Boulder coming from NJ. Our relator recommended Scott Home Inspection. The inspector arrived on time and spent over two hours going over the entire house. Note and photographed every issue and also helped us understand many of the features that were new to us. Many of the issues were known to the seller owners and were already planning to work. One small bit was that an outside outlet was not working and the inspector noted it, the owner pointed out that there was a small switch inside the house had to be turned on. Overall we received an excellent report. read more

Great company - used them for 3 home inspection in the past year (bought three properties in Boulder County). Friendly, responsive staff, knowledgeable inspector, good price, thorough and detailed report. They also were great about responding to my questions after the home inspection. Highly recommend. read more

If you are buying a house use this service. My husband and I have purchased 6 houses in our real estates careers and were absolutely impressed with Mr. Scott's services. He discusses the report with you, adds color pictures to his report, and even has the report available via Internet for a period of time. He mailed us a copy of the thorough report and made some recommendations to us as the buyer. Very helpful and highly recommended. read more

As a Realtor in Boulder, I have worked with many home inspectors over the years. George is by far the most thorough, professional inspector that I have ever worked with. My clients are always delighted with his knowledge and attention to detail, and he really takes the time to walk through the property and answer questions and offer suggestions. His reports are always extremely detailed and informative. When I work with George, I can rest assured knowing my clients are in wonderful hands. read more

My agent recommended Scott Home Inspection and I am very pleased that she did. Adam was not only prompt, but was extremely thorough and took the time to answer any concerns/questions I had. He allowed me to follow him so that I was able to learn so much more about the house than I would from just reading the report. I would highly recommend Scott Home Inspection! read more

Scott Home Inspection inspected the house we are buying in Longmont, CO. The inspectors that came (separate inspectors for the house and sewer / radon testing) were professional and knowledgeable. The final report was comprehensive and easy to access online, with summary as well as detailed information available. I saw the inspection report the seller got from a competitor company in Longmont, and the inspection done by Scott Home Inspection was more comprehensive and helpful. read more

Would not recommend. Many visible items were not picked up on during this pre-purchase inspection. Examples included leaking faucets, recent water damage to ceiling, bird's nest in fireplace flue, water remaining in dishwasher after run, etc. My concerns were quickly dismissed by their customer service. read more

The did an adequate job on our house. They were on time and the report was well written and easy to understand. It was a complicated house with 2 furnace units, 3 AC units, and many other non-standard items (sump, radon mitigation system, air filtration, whole house humidifier, steam oven). It's a pretty general home inspection, they go over the basics, and look out for any red flag items. But there are a lot of items that are outside the scope of a general inspection - electric blinds, home automation systems (locks, security, lighting, sound), sprinkler systems, etc... But, I guess that's a lot to cover in just 3 hours. Rarely do you get to go over a house with the seller, so these inspections are useful in that you can learn about where things are at in your house. The sewer scope was helpful since the house was built in 1900 - they identified a couple of potential problems that we were able to get fixed. read more

I have purchased 4 homes in the last 20 years in the Loveland area. Scott Home Inspection (Joe) provided an incredibly detailed and thorough inspection on our latest home including a detailed written report, photos and recommendations. Very professional and yet personable and friendly. A+ read more

Scott Home Inspection was fantastic. They managed to squeeze us in quickly during the very busy Holiday season. We were extremely happy with the inspection we received from Scott. The inspection was thorough and informative. I would recommend Scott to anyone! read more

The inspector from Scott Home was professional and thorough in the inspection of our new home. We were able to set up the inspection on short notice, which was helpful for our quick closing. He explained everything mechanical & structural in a palatable way and helped us to understand what needed further attention. We called in a structural engineer, per the inspector's recommendation, and were reassured that the foundation was sound. There were two more cracks in the ceiling that were not found by the inspector. Otherwise, I would have given five stars. read more

My family purchased a home that Scott Home Inspection did the home inspection for and we have had about $50k worth of damage as a result of them not noticing the issue. As a result, we purchased a home with two broken sump pumps, five windows that arent secured to the wall and have about a 1/4 inch gap between the window and the wall, a deck that was installed incorrectly, rotted and mildewy walls, a leaky foundation, numerous plumbing issues, a furnance that is plumed for a 1500 sq foot house and we have a 4000 sq foot house, and many more. Buying the house of your dreams at top dollar and then spending an additional $50k on top of that is unacceptable. I would not recommend this inspection company read more

Best inspector I've worked with yet. Brett was thorough and professional on our new construction inspection which found a handful of small items, and the report was clear and factual to make addressing them with our builder very easy. We scheduled at the last minute and they were able to fit us in the next day, and they have a nice modern system with all the notes and pictures taken on his phone, discussed before he leaves, credit card payment, and delivered only a few hours later. I've seen reports end up filled with rambling about every single thing the inspector noticed without organizing and weighting them in a way that is particularly helpful, which at best is a mess and at worst can cause lots of panic and confusion between buyers and sellers. They thankfully avoid this with a clear, fair and actionable format. I also appreciate everything I learned about the house chatting and asking questions along the way. I would definitely use them again as a buyer and feel comfortable having them accurately assess my house as seller. read more

From the initial call to set up inspection to the inspection summary. Super friendly and honest interactions. Would recommend Scott Home Inspection to my mom...so you know this outfit is top notch in my book. read more

My husband and I are new the area, and we have been looking to buy a house. There are so many rules to just go with it. OMG.. The key is a really good Realtor ( Honest, friendly and straight to the point) As we have been going through and going down the line. Our Realtor emailed us about " Scott Home Inspection" OMG. I can't say enough GREAT things. I read the reviews and I decided to give this place a try. I called customer service spoke with a gal named: Katie ( Wonderful person) Such great customer service, she was very helpful, she asked a bunch of questions, I asked a bunch and we were going back and forth. They let you know what is happening BEFORE they charge you. They have bundles that help you save some money. They are pricey but I wouldn't have it any other way. We go Todd and he was just a wonderful person. He took pictures and come back with a extensive report that explained EVERYTHING. What needs to be replaced, where to get it, how much it may cost you etc. Our appointment was at 9am. By 2pm we had and emailed FULL REPORT with Pictures, and areas of what needs to done, with arrows mind you, if you totally forgot what they were talking about at 9am. It's all there for you. Over all it was a wonderful experience. Thank you Katie and Todd, and Thank you everyone else who has helped my Husband and I. read more

Great experience with Scott Home Inspection. They were responsive from start to end, calling me to ensure they could make the inspection work within my tight deadlines and moving the radon test earlier to accommodate. The inspector was great as well - very communicative and thorough. I highly recommend them! read more

I had my home inspection done yesterday by Todd, he was awesome. Quick and efficient, after the inspection he explained everything well and was pleased to have my business. Excellent customer service, showed up slightly early, which I thought was great, very nice guy. read more

I would rate a 0 if that were an option, but it's not. I would NOT recommend Scott Home Inspections to anyone. Their inspector missed a bowed and cracked foundation wall in the inspection of the house we were buying in Estes Park. These issues were visible at the time of inspection but he failed to note them. Shortly after the purchase we discovered the problem because a painter saw it. I called the company and they sent their inspector back out to document the issue. Repairs were very expensive, 5 figures! Of course we had to sign a waiver of any liability before the inspection was done, and now the company has refused to accept any responsibility. The only response we have received from the company is in the form of letters from their attorney, denying any responsibility and telling us that we are "barking up the wrong tree." Through the attorney they have offered to refund our fee, but nothing more. It's very frustrating that a company will sell services knowing that customers will rely on their service in making a major purchase, but take no responsibility for providing a service of minimum competence. read more

We had our home inspected by Scott (Tod, I believe) and unfortunately there were some pretty significant things that were missed. Most notably, the entire crown on our chinmey needs to be replaced. The pictures in the report clearly showed this, and when I got on the roof just a few months after purchasing the home, I could obviously see the concrete was cracked and brick showing through. He didn't even make mention of this in the report. Additionally, he told us our "fireplace" flue needed a cap, however the flue he was referring to was clearly for our furnace. We also had some issues with our wood burning fireplace insert, and while I realize an expert in chimney services is the best way to go, I think there were some obvious issues he missed (I mean, if I can do a simple google search and learn about "slammers", then professional inspectors should at least have the knowlege to look at it and let you know to get a professional chimney inspector in to evaluate). I was happy with our inspection at first, but after a year of living in the home and discovering things I think he should have addressed, I'm sad to have to give a poor review. I'd be warry if you are referred to this company by your realtor - we didn't do our proper research as first time buyers, but we know now! read more
