Great to do business with! Thorough and efficient for a fair price. Their report tools are great for understanding the report and generating detailed repair lists with photos. They were prompt and addressed all my concerns without fuss. All around I had a great experience. I would highly recommend Top Notch to anyone needing a home inspection. read more

We did not have a good experience with Top Notch. They did a home inspection prior to purchasing a condo in Hawaii. I paid extra to get the thermal imaging to detect any water damage. After my children had purchased the condo and moved in they found a leak behind the toilet with water damage and rot in the wood. I contacted the company expecting they would work to make this right. The inspection was over $600 and they offered to refund me $46. Now my children are left to pay for a bathroom renovation they were not planning on. I was very disappointment. This definitely should have been caught on a home inspection. read more

Great experience, Ben was amazing and very detailed. Thank you for a great inspection, you saved us money and time and overall a great experience! Can't recommend Top Notch enough! read more

Cannot possibly recommend them enough. Aaron Burns came out in 2022 to do an inspection on the house I would end up buying and was so thorough that I felt confident in the purchase. He was thoughtful and really took his time to answer my questions and help me understand the recommendations... low and behold, as if that wasn't enough, two years later I had a follow up questionnaire I needed filled out for home owners insurance and Karl Stump helped me answer questions I couldn't answer on my own in just 24 hours. Truly Top Notch Service. Wouldn't even consider using a different provider!! Thank you!! read more

Ben came out and inspected our condo in Waikoloa Village. He contacted me prior to the inspection and we discussed some of my concerns. I chose the additional option for thermal imaging and I'm happy I did so. On the day of the inspection Ben contacted me, explain to me what he had found, and made sure that I was satisfied with the scope of the inspection and asked if I had any other concerns or things I would like him to look at. Ben was quite thorough and I'm very pleased with the results. The report was thorough and concise, and I was able to access it online and print it the following day. (I should mention this whole time I was on the mainland) I highly recommend Top Notch! read more

As a real estate agent here in West Hawaii it is important that we use inspectors that we trust for both sides of the transaction. They need to be diligent enough to protect our buyers, but an inspection company that can explain needed repairs or deferred maintenance in way that makes sense to a buyer and not instill fear, but give them the facts to make an educated decision on their purchase. Top Notch does this. read more

I'm pleased with the service I received from Top Notch Home Inspections. Frankie Martin-Howe, the inspector assigned to my home for a pre-listing inspection, conducted a thorough inspection that included a report and a detailed video of her findings. Both were completed on the day of inspection! As I was out of the area on inspection day, I also appreciated that she proactively coordinated with my broker to ensure prompt and efficient service. Based on my positive experience with Frankie, I highly recommend Top Notch Home Inspections. read more

Review of Top Notch Inspections This company chose a perfect name for their business, Top Notch. They are one of only a few A-rated firms in the home inspection field. One of their highly experienced inspectors, Frankie, checked out a home we were interested in purchasing in Nanawale Estates. This area is part of lava zone 2, which is potentially subject to lava flows, like the one that occurred in 2018. It is a challenging area where the homes may not be fully permitted. That leads to difficulties in qualifying for HPIA fire insurance. Frankie found all the unpermitted changes in the home, and numerous defects in the property, such as leaky plumbing, past evidence of roof leaks, as well as appliances that were nearing the end of their lives. The real value that this inspection company provides is in their ability to deploy thermal imaging and sewer system cameras to scope out problems that could not be found with just visual checks. The EPA and state of Hawaill have mandated that homes on the big island and elsewhere transition from cesspools to septic tanks by 2050. This expense ranges from $15,000 to $50,000. No homeowner or buyer wants to learn that an existing cesspool is not healthy enough to last for another decade. Frankie located an inspection port in the sewer lines and performed a detailed check of the cesspool system using a snake camera. The results were astonishing (healthy system) and well worth the cost. In summary, we were super pleased by Frankie's inspection and the aloha that Top Notch shows to their customers. read more

Having recently gone through the process of buying a home, our agent referred us to Top Notch for our home inspection. Karl and his team were wonderful. Their customer service was above and beyond any home inspection team I've dealt with. They initially called to schedule the appointment and explain their process. They then followed up to confirm the appointment. We met them at the home and decided to stay for most of the inspection and they checked in with us frequently to verbally explain their findings. They stayed until well after dark to complete the inspection. The next day we received the full report that was meticulously detailed and had dozens of photos to support their findings. Karl also called me right after sending the report to let me know to look for it in my email and to make himself available for any questions we may have after reviewing it. We felt very comforted and put at ease that we knew exactly what we were getting into with purchasing our home. I highly recommend Top Notch to anyone needing a home inspection. Mahalo Karl and Top Notch team for helping us make an informed decision when buying our home! read more

Top Notch Inspections (Aaron) had great communications with us throughout and even though we couldn't be there in person, he called while still on the premises and discussed any and all issues he found. Really easy to talk with and was very detailed. The actual report was emailed later that day, with excellent information and pictures. I liked the online scheduling, picking my date/time. There's a reason they get such high Yelp rating. read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Top Notch Hawaii on several Home Inspections. Every time, whether it be with Karl, Aaron, or Ben, the professionalism and competency is fantastic. They do a thorough job, not overlooking any detail. I especially like 2 things they do consistently: 1) the reports have excellent photos with arrows that clearly identify the areas of concern. And 2) the walkthrough they do with the client identifies the primary things they have found, while not overly concerning a homeowner if the level of needed repair does not merit it. Thank you! read more

We are buying a condo in HI but live on the mainland. Beau from Top Notch did our home inspection. Paperwork was done via email but confirmed by phone.

I found top Notch Home Inspection to be very thorough and informative. I had a rather large and dilapidated building and need to know where the damage and replacement areas were and how bad. They combed the entire structure beam by beam, pipe by pipe and identified cracks and leak(s) with great attention to detail. I am confident I have a good road map for a list of repairs for my contractor(s). It's also helpful that that have a list of fully vetted contractors to recommend for just about every trade. Top Notch is a good one stop stop for your inspection and contractor needs. Very satisfied and would use them again. read more

We are very impressed with Top Notch, our inspector, Ryan, did a excellent, thorough job in inspecting what we do hope will be our new home. After Ryan completed his inspection, he walked us through and explained all of his findings; we had Ryan perform the thermal imaging which indeed is worth the dollars to have done. The report Ryan wrote up for us not only had the colored coded explanations of all the items, but pictures, lots of pictures, and was done in a very professional manner. We are so impressed with inspection Ryan performed and how fast Ryan was able to get his findings to us, that was amazing. We have bought several places over the years and this is the first time we have ever received such a thorough inspection. The company name 'Top Notch' is a perfect fit for this home inspection company. We most definitely recommend this company when buying or selling property or if you just need to have someone inspect your property for whatever reason. 'Mahalo' to Top Notch and most important 'Mahalo' to Ryan for doing excellent inspection. Our 'Shaka' to Top Notch and our 'Shaka' to you Ryan. read more
