I am Happy to say that I can highly recommend Michael Potts to Inspect your prospective home. We found a condo that my wife and I wanted to buy. We called Michael and he was able to schedule an inspection for the condo that we wanted buy and sign sales contract as a buyer. Michael and his son Mario showed up to do the inspection, for what ever reason three agents were there telling me that he inspected the same condo several months earlier and I was wasting my money. They were rude to Michael saying that they fixed the items he found last time. As it turns out they lost a buyer because of the issues that Michael had found. Micheal explained that he worked for the buyer and to please let him do his job. I told him we still wanted him to inspect and to verify what we were being told. Micheal was able to pull the last inspection to verify that the items that failed the previous inspection. He reassured me that he and Mario would reinspect everything and let me know where each item stood. Mario went into every craw space, cabinet and closet to ensure I would have no issues. Thankfully, in walking around the house with Michael, he was able to educate me on the issues he found and verify the new items had been fixed. He checked the new AC, appliances and the electrical to ensure that they were installed correctly. From Michaels advice I was able to sit down with the homeowner, we were able to get them to correct the items Micheal had found saving us money before we signed a contract. I'm so glad I was able to have Michael and Mario from Affordable Inspections help me make a smarter decision and save us some money! read more

Eric came out to the condo on 1/29/36. He never followed up with a written estimate of the job. Left me hanging!!

Very friendly and was detailed in our inspection. Great value and a great job done. Made sure to check everything and gave detailed explanations of all issues and even the good things. read more

Best home inspection that I ever chosen, They are very professional, friendly, and excellent service. Highly recommend if you need a Awesome team to inspect your house!!! read more

Straight shooter. Knows his stuff inside and out. Took time to explain many things in detail to the point that I almost feel like he trained me to do the inspection myself. Unfiltered and straight to the point. Contact if you want a person who keeps it real or take a chance contacting someone else who sugar coats things... read more

Thorough work. Hard to communicate when requesting clarification on items in report.

Michael and Mario with Affordable Inspections did a fantastic job doing my four point and wind mitigation inspection. I needed it done quickly and they were available within just a couple of days. Michael even answered my late evening call to schedule the appointment. They both were very thorough with the inspection and very knowledgeable about what they do. They communicated very clearly through the whole process. I received my report very quickly my as well, very impressed!! I highly recommend Affordable Inspections, they are Amazing!!!! read more

We were very pleased with affordable Inspections. We were out of state buyers purchasing a home in Florida. We wanted an honest assessment of the property. We knew immediately that we would get that from Mike. Mike was very thorough in his inspection of the property. He identified problems with the property that we were able to have addressed before closing - savings us money! He provided a complete report. He was very responsive to our calls and text and took his time explaining information to us. Mike makes it clear he is working for the buyer to give you the information needed to make a decision. It was refreshing for us to have a straight and honest person to inspect our new home. I highly recommend Affordable Inspections. You will get a great inspection for an affordable cost. read more

Yes! I can recommend this home inspector highly. After my scheduled home inspector ended up in the hospital, Michael managed to work me in to his schedule for an inspection of a house on which I had a sales contract as a buyer. The house had some problems that I recognized, having owned houses in the past. However, what I didn't realize was how many issues the home had, some of which would cost me a lot of money! Thankfully, in walking around the house with Michael, he was able to educate me on the issues. After talking with the homeowner, I decided to cancel the offer to purchase. "Buyer Beware" is the approach to take when considering the purchase of a new home. I'm so glad I was able to have Affordable Inspections help me with the decision. read more

When I meet the inspector, he's professional, afterwards he's a womanizer! Meeting for future use of his services will never happen again! I was supposed to receive his report in 48 hrs... never happen! I refused his foul play and he got very ugly and belligerent! Be aware ladies!!! In the future don't have s women call u big Daddy... it's demeaning read more

Spoke with Michael within 10mins of me reaching out to the company on Yelp! So responsive and super helpful! Even though they couldn't physically help us out with our garage door, he took over 15-20mins giving us solid referrals and walking us through the process of how the experts will handle our request! He mentioned anytime we needed help or advice to feel free to reach out! Not many people take time out of their day especially at 8pm on a Monday night to help out someone they don't know. We really appreciated it and definitely recommend anyone who needs assistance with their home repairs/remodel needs. read more

Michael is amazing! He's honest and super friendly. I felt like he was genuine in giving me an estimate and truly cared about making my experience easy and painless.

He put my fiancée and I at ease and I would definitely recommend him. Keep up the great work Mike. read more

Be Ware! Mike left after doing a home inspection - Owner came home 3 hours later to find the upstairs master bath tub & master bath 2 sinks with full force water on. Could have created a flooding disaster let alone all the lost & costly water. He didn't check his job. And never apologized or had the courtesy to respond once he was notified. Poor. read more

I highly recommend Mike and Affordable Inspections! Very thorough and professional. Mike took the time to personally take the time to explain and show me not only what needed immediate attention but also point any potential issues. It made a big difference, in my opinion, trusting a professional that is very knowledgeable of the local area and being well versed on the unique aspects of how that can affect your property. read more

Inspector Potts did an amazing and thorough job on our prospective home in Treasure Island, Florida. He's a class act and knows what he is talking about.

Once again these guys came to my rescue this morning. I'm still searching for a house to call mine, with many months and conversations into the hunt. At last moments notice Mike came through to inspect a house I thought had potential. If I could give him ten stars here I would for his attentive patience with me and his teams knowledge about properties. Their attention to detail is outstanding, no one else has broken down the truth about houses like they have for me. I have truly been given an education by them every time we speak about my purchase endeavors. read more

We hired Affordable Inspections to inspect our potential home purchase. Mr. Potts and his crew took their time going over every section of the home explaining as they went what they were looking for and what they were finding. He discussed with us things that were great and he discussed with us those things that could use some work and in the end provided us with a comprehensive inspection report for our files. In the end I felt as though this inspection completely went over the home and I felt confident in making the purchase. I also felt as though I knew where any of the minor problems were. I would definitely recommend affordable inspections. Your.palm harbor inspector read more

Mike Potts was amazing when it came to my inspection. As a first time buyer, or even not, he is so informative and helpful. I am a first time buyer and he wanted to make sure I understood everything and explained things so that I understand what is wrong and different things I can do to fix it. He made sure to show me so I could see what was an issue and what was in good condition. He even let me go on the roof to show me the shingles and stability of the roof. He was so thorough and didn't leave anything out! I would highly recommend mike and this company to anyone! read more

There are no words to describe how wonderful Mr. Potts is.

We didn't realize how many issues the property had until I got the inspection report. I became aware of some problems that I was not prepared for at this time. I would highly recommend this company. The entire process from start to finish was very great, and Inspector communicated well and showed up as promised. He did a thorough inspection and sent the report as well. The report has lots of detailed pictures. Lots of pages. The price is also affordable; its good value for your bucks. read more

There is no way to say enough great things about our experience with Michael! Some highlights: 1. He was very responsive. He got our inspection scheduled for the very next day, despite an upcoming vacation he had planned. He squeezed us into his schedule when he could've scheduled us out 2 weeks for his own convenience. 2. He was knowledgeable. He gave us so much information about what we were facing with our potential purchase. We felt like we knew exactly what we were getting into by the end of the inspection. 3. The inspection report itself was fantastic. Thorough, descriptive and easy to understand. 4. He was very honest which I appreciated. I'm a straight shooter and I'd rather be told the brutal truth than have anything sugar coated. Ain't nobody got time for that! 5. He went above and beyond. He did our inspection only 2 days before his own personal vacation. And while some people would've made us wait for the report until he got back, he understood time was of the essence. We had our report back the very next day. If you need a home inspection, this is your guy! We will definitely use him again in the future and we'd recommend him to anyone! read more

Excellent and immediate service. I mean, what business do you know, responds to your request for an inspection at 7:30 on a Sunday night!

Inspector Potts, Mike, offered a 4 point inspection at an unbeatable price. Very informative, took all the time needed, without rushing, very fast and professional answering calls and texts. He welcomed us to walk with him during the inspection while sharing results of his findings. Detailed info (important points highlighted) and pictures were emailed to us as part of the inspection report in less than 48 hours. We were in need of an asap inspection and he was also able to accommodate us the next day I called. He also gave us recommendations on professionals upon our request. Very helpful when you are new in town in need of reliable people. Thanks again.....well done, sir! read more

With time ticking down on my inspection period Mike stepped up and gave me an evening appointment. He did a detailed inspection and answered all my questions, and I asked lots of questions. He never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable about asking him anything during the process. I felt more confident in his opinion knowing he was also a licensed contractor in addition to being an inspector, this really helped when it came to all my inquiries. Thanks to his inspection I was able to get a new roof included in the deal and feel it was well worth the $ spent, would definitely use him again. read more

Mike of Affordable Inspections has inspected several homes for me in our journey to purchase a home that would not come with major problems. We could tell he is interested in inspecting homes based on his knowledge and focus while doing his inspections. We were provided with timely, detailed information about the houses that would have been major issues and costly issues to us in the long run, in which we never noticed. Affordable Inspections is your best choice for your next house inspection if you want honesty, professionalism and excellent service. read more

I'm currently in the process of buying a house and called Mike to do our inspection! He was very friendly, and walked me through everything step by step. If I had any questions he made sure to answer them, and was open and honest with me the whole time! He even did our inspection on a Sunday! I appreciated everything he did from start to finish, and he still checks in to see how everything is going!! Thank you for everything Mike! read more

I had the worst, most bizarre experience with Mike that I've ever had. He showed up confrontational, angry, condescending and stayed that way for the entire inspection. At one point, he looked angry enough to hit me. The man clearly has anger issues. I went on their website to find a phone number to complain, but apparently he owns the company. Avoid Affordable Inspections at all costs. Nothing is worth being treated so angrily and strangely. read more

Just spoke to the most unprofessional and cocky person in business i have ever spoken to..cant believe he told me about being in business for 27 years with that attitude ..on to the next one................... read more

Affordable Inspections has completed the home inspections for the last 5 homes I have purchased. I have had experiences with other inspectors in the past, and with out a doubt I can say you will not find a more thorough, professional and detail oriented inspector. They do an amazing job and are truly affordable. Affordable Inspections will inspect every home prior to me purchasing it moving forward! read more

The inspection itself went fine but it was done on a Thursday afternoon and did not receive the actual report until Monday. Home inspections usually have a turnaround time around 24 hours. When I finally got a hold of them I was told they had a computer problem. If the customer is calling them non-stop to get the report and they have a "computer problem" shouldn't they have let us know anytime between Thursday and Monday that was the case. The only reason it became a problem was because that Monday was the last day of the inspection period and we would have lost our escrow deposit if we didn't make a decision on the house which we couldn't do because it wasn't sent. It was a bit on the unprofessional side in my opinion. I didn't give them 1 star because too many people on here just give 1 star and go on a rant. That's not what I'm trying to do because like I said the actual inspection itself was fine it was just getting the inspection report that was mishandled. read more
