Prompt arrival and very thorough inspection of the home, the out building, and the property. Professional and polite during the careful and detailed observations. He carried with him equipment for detailed factual findings that many of the other inspection businesses did not offer. His meticulous approach found multiple defects and issues that were of great importance to our health and welfare, and he gave helpful recommendations on how we might approach and remedy the problems. I highly recommend The HOME examiner INSPECTION SERVICES to anyone and everyone who is buying old or new. He has saved us from future problems and headaches down the road in both our health and the health of the structures and property. We genuinely believe he is one of the good guys out there and are very grateful for his quality approach and careful inspection of our home. read more

The Home Examiner - Home Inspectors Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

He was extremely thorough with his inspection, and impressed with his knowledge and demeanor. As a first time home buyer, he made me feel comfortable learning about the specific things I should be looking for in a home and my home in particular. He provided grounded advice and guidance for addressing issues he found and I trust his judgement with how concerned I needed to be about the various issues. Could not recommend more. read more

I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a home inspection. Oliver was very knowledgeable and thorough. We had purchased an older home and he was knowledgeable with the old building materials/techniques as well as the newer remodeled areas. His report was very thorough and detailed and gives us a very good understanding of the condition of the home and where to improve it. Oliver was also very professional and responsive and the cost for the service was very reasonable and fair. read more

Highly recommend this company. Inspection results were available the same day. The results included a detailed explanation of any issues with the home as well as photographs. The cost of this service was relatively modest and affordable. read more

Oliver has been amazing! He took the time to explain what was needed to be done after the inspection, and even helped provide information I needed to get Home Insurance. Weeks later, i emails him about contractors to fix the issues listed in the inspection, and he blew me away with the details and contacts that he provided. If I buy another property in the area, I would definitely ask him to do the inspection again. He just goes out of his way and has been so helpful! read more

Steve and Oliver were great to work with! They did home, radon, and termite inspections on a home I'm purchasing and we're phenomenal to work with! I was taken care of throughout the entire process as they both took time to talk me through each room and around the home as the inspection was taking place. Additionally, they spent some time addressing my concerns and digging in a little deeper to the findings after the inspections were completed. I received an easy to read report within the same day with a reminder to reach out if I had questions. I highly recommend The Home Examiner for your home inspection needs. read more

This team is thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, timely and my absolute number one choice. They have conducted two home inspections for us and I have felt ultra prepared and informed with the information provided.

I am so thankful for their expertise and wouldn't buy a West Michigan home without their inspection and approval prior! read more

This was my first experience with a home inspection and Oliver did a great job. They provided a very thorough and detailed report. Oliver explained things in a way I understood, which was important to me, having never bought or owned a home before. read more

Oliver did my inspection. He was timely, thorough, personable. I am a first-time homeowner so maybe more nervous than most but he put my mind at ease. He looked under the hood, as it were, and helped prioritize needed repairs in an older house in a way that was pointed but not overwhelming. I felt (and still feel) very fortunate to have worked with this company at this time. I will use this printed inspection as a to-do list probably for the rest of my life! Worth every penny. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent, thorough, punctual service. Oliver and his father helped us assess what needed to be repaired in the 140 year old house we were purchasing, and helped put our minds at ease with respect to it's safety for our toddler. I would definitely use them again for future inspections, and recommend them to anyone and everyone. read more

Steve and Oliver inspected our soon-to-be-home, and both of these guys are so knowledgeable. We learned so much from both of them and were amazed by how quickly they turned around a 27-page, detailed, physical report with annotated photos, including arial drone photography of the roof and chimney. We had it in our hands before we left the house! The Home Examiner are professionals. We couldn't be happier with their work and would definitely give them a call if we move again! read more

I would highly recommend The Home Examiner to anyone the Grand Rapids area. Steve and Oliver came out to inspect our new home and I was so impressed with their attention to detail, professionalism and thoroughness. Both Steve and Oliver took the time to educate my husband and I on how to care for the boiler, AC and went into detail explaining some of history of the home. Clearly, they have experience examining old homes and new, but because our home was an older home, we are grateful they inspected the house. They did their due diligence and understood what was unique about our older home. At the end of the inspection, they printed a copy of the report and went through everything with us onsite! I couldn't believe it. Plus, the ease of payment, with paying with a credit card after the inspection was great and Steve said he was available to us if we did have any further questions about the report. They're great! read more
