Super easy to book service. Prompt communication and quick availability. Was recommended by a local construction project manager and I was impressed by the online sample reports, but that pales in comparison to what you get in real life. Kyle was amazingly thorough and through his verbal report out it was clear he was knowledgeable in all areas. He explained why things are categorized as urgent safety issues, and really made me feel comfortable and confident to move forward. I would hands down recommend him to anyone. From a value perspective it's hard for me to say since he is the first home inspector I have ever personally hired, but I paid less than I was told to expect! All in all, 10/10. read more

experienced, respectful, polite, thorough, reasonably priced and responsive - the experience with Steadfast Home Inspection was great

My request was for a home inspection, as I will be selling my home soon. My first surprise when Jessica showed up, was that the inspector was a woman, which is unusual in my experience. My second surprise was to see how well equipped she was for inspecting every single detail of the inspection job! Her attention to detail was extraordinary, and she was skillful and well trained in the work required. There was no time lost, as she moved throughout the house, inside and out, shifting from one type of inspection to another without hesitation. The work itself took a surprisingly long period of time, but the price was as quoted, so i definitely got my money's worth. Besides all that, Jessica was happy, upbeat, gladly answered my questions, and patiently explained any details whenever i wanted to know more about the process. it is very uncommon in recent years to find someone in any kind of business service that is efficient, skillful, and so easy to interact with as Jessica! I would rate her service higher than 5 stars if I could! read more

Kyle was knowledgeable, insightful, and professional. He provided a timely report and took the time to follow up with us on any concerns we had. We would happily use him again, and we will recommend him to all of our house buying friends! The report itself is overwhelming as first time home-buyers, but Kyle walked us through every item and made us feel so much more secure in our purchase. read more

Kyle did an awesome job inspecting a mobile home my daughter was interested in buying.

Throughout the home buying process I have seen dozens of inspections and the work by Jessica is SO FAR ahead of the others. The reports are easy to read, VERY thorough and impressively documented.

It's rare to have expectations exceeded by an order of magnitude, but that's what we experienced with Steadfast. Their attention to detail was amazing, nothing was overlooked. The final inspection report was comprehensive, detailed, yet easy to understand. The report format allows the reader to easily navigate room-by-room information. The summary section literally provides a punch list for all identified repairs. As homebuyers, this establishes a baseline of confidence in our purchase. It also provides a tool to manage any repair costs. Steadfast Home Inspection can be simply defined: True experienced professionals. David & Shelley Baker read more

Could not be more delighted with the service we got from Kyle, and we've worked with a number of home inspectors over the years. He was an exceptionally reliable and clear communicator before our appointment, but it was when he got on site that he really shone. He was amazingly methodical - inch by inch, fixture by fixture, he took photos and notes on everything. He crawled into the eaves and opened every cabinet door. No stone left unturned. His notes and final report reflected this attention to detail. On top of that, his verbal summary of some complex issues was very easy to understand, balanced and fair. Notably, the seller's agent was there, and thought the same. Thanks, Kyle! read more

Steadfast Home Inspection gave us real peace of mind for the recent purchase of our new home. The house we made an offer on was large and complex with, for example, a mjlti-zone heating system. Kyle presented us with a detailed and accurate assessment of the home's condition in a well organized report highlighted with many photographs. This information gave us both negotiating leverage with the seller and the confidence to move forward with the home purchase. Now I know why Kyle has been our real estate agent's "go to guy" for home inspections for many years. read more

Kyle is one of the good guys. He was quick to respond to my initial questions, flexible on scheduling, on time for our meeting and conducted a very thorough inspection.

His follow-up written report was provided in a timely manner and was equally thorough showing great attention to detail. Overall, an excellent value and we are very happy we chose Steadfast to perform our home inspection. read more

Kyle & Adam from Steadfast were awesome! Adam helped with scheduling the home inspection on short notice and also responded over the weekend with the agreement & instructions for Monday AM inspection. Kyle performed the inspection. He was thorough and gave us a video summary of the report (we were Facetiming in from San Jose). I just read the 44 page report and downloaded the near 1GB worth of pics. I have previously read inspection reports for a couple of homes and this was as meticulous as it gets. I especially loved the simple "acceptable", "defective", "upgrade" like remarks with Kyle's commentary on why. I was able to power through the ones not marked acceptable rapidly - and create a prioritized list of about 5 items I will be working on as soon as we move in. We are totally new to the Santa Barbara area, and running into vendors like Steadfast etc has given us a pretty good feeling about what it will be make SB our second home! read more

Kyle was able to set up an inspection just the afternoon prior to him coming over.

Kyle was exceptional. Fast (report emailed to us on the same day!), professional, and honest. He takes time after the inspection to walk the owners through the major findings. We agreed with everything he told us and this helped us to get our house on the market in great shape! His report is well organized, color coded, and easy to understand. Hands down, Kyle is the go-to guy for home inspection. Finally, he was great at scheduling and did not mind last-minute changes to the schedule...was able to accommodate our needs and reschedule our appointment(also was great with our loud dogs:) read more

Kyle is awesome!!! He was very detail oriented and found issues that I would have missed. He was so patient and kind with me, explaining everything as I am a new home owner. We had weird circumstances with my builder and he worked with me. He didn't complain about it or leave. He followed up immediately with a thick report of home details. He checked things that even the builder didn't check on my walk through. I am so happy that I hired him as it was not recommended for new construction. He's worth every penny!!! Thank you Kyle! I'll call you the next time I buy! read more

We had a great experience with Steadfast Home Inspection. Kyle, the owner, was quick to respond and easy to schedule. His report was thorough and the photographs helped us truly understand the home that my wife and I were buying. It was great to have photos of the spaces I may not otherwise see (far corners of the attic, chimney, etc). The most valuable part was the chance for me to meet him there at the end of the inspection to get a quick rundown of what he found (the good things and the bad). I would definitely use him again and highly recommend his company. read more

Kyle inspected the entire house and provided me a comprehensive feedback form marginal and critical defectives with their photos.

The inspection was prompt and thorough. Kyle also took many photos which turned out to be very helpful. Thank you!
