After our second home inspection job in the Coachella Valley by Tim Hemm, I sent Tim the following Text (with minor edits and additions): "1) Awesome (typical) Rancho Mirage home-property purchase offer inspection! 2) It will be back on the market soon (unless you want it & a major Gen Contractor job!) (This seemingly perfect $700,000 home had over 80 Tim Hemm found major issues that I from experience estimate would cost about $200,000 to correct.) 3) Stay tuned for next...our third attempt to find a non-nightmare quality home. 4) Kudos again, Tim, you are the absolute best home inspector that I have ever worked with in many home purchases in ten states!" 5) We will absolutely want you to inspect our next accepted home-offer. 6) Highest of recommendation to others." Enough said, again. read more

0 Stars: April 2021 CBM Enterprises LLC representative Timothy Hemm preformed an inspectionon our property in Joshua Tree California. We have bought and sold houses for decades and never have we experienced a more unprofessional or inexperience inspection and service provided by Mr. Hemm. He does not know his business, does not know how to inspect a property, and literally did not know what he was talking bout in many instances during the inspection. Listing multiple issues that both real estate agents were shocked and dumbfounded with. Either Mr. Hemm is working for the buyer as a kick back or he is terribly unqualified to be inspecting properties. This man should not be in the inspection business. By the way the property that he inspected has 2 previously inspections to compare his report to within the last 6 months. (The property fell out of escrow). read more

Tim was a referral from another inspector in the Palm Springs area and man, He is awesome! Very thorough inspection and well worth the money which he actually charges a very great price. Need a home inspection? This is your guy! read more

Tim was very thorough in our commercial inspection. He was quick to give us a quote and schedule the inspection. Would recommend to anyone looking in the Palm Springs/ Cathedral City area. read more

I'm very thankful I used Tim. He inspected two Yucaipa houses for us. He spent a significant amount of time looking at things that never would have occured to me. In both cases his reports contained more than enough information to make us feel aware of the true condition of the properties, and was very helpful for us in deciding if they were worth the price. Expect him to be very thorough, and take as much time as necessary to do an excellent job. Expect him to be unbiased and neutral. I'm confident that he favored neither the buyer (me), the seller, or the agents. His only interest was to provide as complete a home inspection as possible. He was a pleasure to work with. He was on time. He had a calm and professional yet friendly demeanor, and his formal report was quickly available. He welcomed me to tag along during the inspection, and able to answer many questions and remain focused throughout the inspections. This guy know his stuff. In both cases it was a great investment. read more

I have used Tim twice now and he is fantastic. He is truly an expert in his field and his rate is also very competitive. He charged $125 less than previous inspectors my family has used and his report was just as detailed and thorough. He also had it ready the same day which was nice that my husband and I got to attend the inspection in the morning and read the findings later that evening. He was very polite in answering all our questions. He has a lot of experience in all aspects and he even discovered termites in one spot that the termite inspector missed! He said they don't always check there - wow, thank you, Tim!!! read more

Do not hire anyone else! I actually have quite a bit of experience working on homes, but hired someone anyway since it is my first home purchase. I am so glad that I chose to work with Tim. I cannot begin to describe how professional of a job he did. The report that he makes for you really makes you feel cared for as a prospective homeowner. Do not waste your time with others, especially the big companies. 10/10 in my opinion and would recommend to anyone in need of a home inspection in the area! read more

Tim is quite thorough, professional and patiently answers any questions. In the pressurized situation of a real estate transaction he lets you know he is there solely working for his customer's best interest. read more

Tim was extremely thorough and took the time to explain details to us as first time home buyers. So thankful to have had Tim inspect our home! read more

I have rental property in Yucaipa Tim did a move out inspection for my rental property he photographed and gave me an extensive report as to the condition of the exterior and interior of the property I am involved in a eviction of my tenant and need documentation and a third party to verify the condition of the property. Tim did an excellent job I highly recommend him for rental disputes read more

Tim Hemm Inspections has been a go to guy for about 5 years. I can't even think of how many home inspections he's done for my clients. Really value his opinion and he never seems to miss an issue in the home or commercial building that he's inspecting. He's extremely diligent. Not all inspectors understand their duties as Tim does. Not all inspectors have the certifications that Tim does. Not all inspectors have the knowledge and ethics that Tim does. Story for you to firm up by beliefs in him......I had a client who was purchasing a historic home. (translation "old") Beautiful architecture, about 4000 square feet. Lot's of things to worry about. The client......an attorney! I wanted to make sure that the client vetted her own inspector so that she was very satisfied and didn't ever feel pushed to use someone. I didn't even provide her my normal list of inspectors to choose from. Client chose someone and gave me the date and time of the inspection. I hoped and prayed that it would be a good inspector, but I really wasn't expecting great. The next day I received a text from Tim Hemm saying that he would see me shortly for the our scheduled inspection........I said not Tim, I didn't set an appointment with you. He said I know.....your client did! My client did her investigations on several inspectors and came up with him on her own. She too was extremely happy with his diligence. He called out everything that was an issue and took the time to explain it throughly......just as he always does. read more

Tim inspected the house I want to buy on 8/10/2013, was very pleasant, thorough, knowledgeable, and I had no issues. I received his report the next day. It was detailed, thorough, and complete with images. When I asked, he offered advice on topics outside the scope of the job. Again, he seems to know his stuff. Things of this nature are subject to change, e.g., I won't know what Tim might have missed until I move it and stay a while. But, unless I revise this review in the next few months, I highly recommend Tim Hemm. read more

This is our first time purchasing a home. I called Tim to complete our home inspection. He was very detailed and spent quite some time at the unit. He give detailed answers and addressed any concerns we had. He made us feel like we knew what to expect and have no surprises. I would recommend this inspector to anyone looking for an inspector. read more

Tim was very thorough on the inspection! My Realtor recommended someone else, but he was charging $100 more than what Tim charged. I received a very detailed report with all the (many) issues for the house we are buying and it gave us great insight into what we were getting into. read more

Outstanding! I could not believe how professional and thorough Tim was when he inspected a home for me. He spent well over four hours walking the property inside and out. He turned an amazing report the following day. If you need a solid inspection, you will not be disappointed with Tim Hemm. read more

Mr. Hemm does take his time and is thorough, but I do fault his conclusions on an inspection of my home. I'd like to point out that during his inspection, I was available to answer any questions he may have had, but he simply couldn't be bothered to ask anything of me. As far as being detailed, providing irrelevant information to buyers isn't helpful and in fact, is misleading to the unsophisticated. Example, the "roof leak" in one of the bedrooms. Apparently Mr. Hemm hasn't heard of tannin stains and how they can leak through paint. On the west wing of the home, we used shellac to block, but the east wing had so few stains we chose not to use (painters don't appreciate shellac for the nasty smell). He also pointed out to the clients that the roof was a two ply - again, think he doesn't understand roofs - a single layer of shingles is a one ply roof whether there is a sheet of tar paper under it or not. Counting it as a two ply is false. "Spongy" because he wasn't aware of a air circulation layer and 2 1/2" insulation? Next time - ASK! read more
