We were recommended to Todd via our realtor and are so happy that we did. We have bought 4 different homes in the area over the years and Todd has been the most professional, prompt and easy to deal with Home Inspector to date. We were in a rush situation to meet a deadline, due to my own forgetfulness, and Todd was very quick to help and able to fit us in the same week, in this case with a one day turn around. Todd was professional and very detailed and took time to answer questions and give insight regarding repairs that needed to be made on this home. We will definately be recommending Todd to our Family and Friends. And BTW, I am an experience manager for a family owned direct to consumer pet company with over 2000 customer interactions per day min. so when I say good, professional service all the way around, I don't say that about too many! Thanks Again Todd

I have used Frontline Property Inspections, LLC twice in the last 5 years. Todd Johnson performs a thorough inspection, skilled and focused. I found Todd to be totally professional, while being quite congenial. During the inspection if there are questionable components in/on the property Todd explains the importance of the deficiency and what would be necessary to bring the component up to acceptable standards. He is punctual, thoroughly skilled, and reasonable priced. I found Todd to be a person of high integrity and possessing a broad skill set relative to Property Inspections. Todd submits a formal Property Inspection Report at the conclusion of the engagement. I would highly recommend Frontline Property Inspections, LLC to all, including Family and Friends. It is a quality Service. ? ? ?

Checks included all major appliances, a/c unit. plumbing, electrical, windows and doors walls, ceiling, floors and the grounds. Everything was photo documented.
He went over his findings and pointed out some things that needed attention. I also received a complete written report with photos, issues and suggestions.

Responded to e-mail request for appointment within 24 hours by e-mail. Appointment booked at his earliest available slot. I declined the upsell on the termite inspection as the home is on a scheduled service. Todd showed up 15 minutes early. Inpection lasted about an hour and a half. Provided a detailed report by e-mail late that same evening which included photos of all areas of concern. Having been through this process multiple times previuosly, I knew about what to expect him to look at. He exceeded my expectations in most areas, fell short in one: I knew the dryer vent in the wall was completely jammed up which is a potential fire hazard. There was no mention of that in his report.
Fortunately there wasn't much to find which is what I was hoping. Prior to the inspection Todd pulled county records to verify permits pulled for roof and AC and work was performed by a qualified contractor. That impressed me. Spent considerable time around the outside of the property checking roof vents, structural integrity of gutters, pointed out potential tree root issue, even located a disconnected downspout quite well burried in the shrubs. I heard him in the attic in multiple areas of the home. He didn't just stick his head up there and tell me I had an attic... pointed out specific areas with minor insulation issues.
Interior inspection was thorough. He cycled all appliances and lights. Checked for leaks/ceiling staining even in closets. Checked for soft spots in the drywall on tile in the tub/shower (i.e. the grout integrity).
Report showed differences between today's (2014) construction standards, and those in place in 1986 when the home was built. Home to code when built and gave specific areas to watch and maybe bring up to today's drainage standards to avoid longer term issues. Specifically flat spots in stucco exposed to rain with inadequate drainage.
Overall I found him trustworthy and would use his services again. The last thing you want to do is put a house on the market and have the prospective buyer find issues you were unaware of.....

We found Todd through our realtor. He was prompt and very thorough with his inspection. Come to find out the cute little bungalow just off of Bayshore Blvd that looked like all it needed was a fresh coat of paint, as well as a kitchen and bathroom facelift, was unfortunately a NO GO. Todd walked us through all of the issues he found with the house, explaining every detail (with plenty of pictures I might add). The house was literally falling apart - no thanks to the termites that whittled the structural beams down to toothpicks.
Once we had a moment to digest the information, Todd took the time to give us some pointers on spotting potential problems with future prospects. He spent a good 20-30 minutes going through a list of easy to spot "red flags."
That night he sent us an email with all the pictures he had taken and a report on the inspection.
We will definitely use Todd for future inspections and recommend him to anyone needing an affordable, but thorough home inspector. Thank you Todd!

Our initial contact with Mr. Johnson was very pleasant. He was very professional, asked specific questions to gain an understanding of what we needed and was very accommodating to our timeline.
Mr. Johnson contacted us when he was on his way to the appointment and during the appointment made sure that he explained what was being done and why he was doing it. Mr. Johnson completed the inspection, explained his findings and provided an estimate as to when the report would be completed; exceeded that expectation. The next day I had a detailed report including images of all the items that needed to be fixed and the stability of the home. Not only did he send the report ahead of the expected date but he also followed up to ensure that I received the report and extended his assistance if we had any questions. I would highly recommend Frontline Inspections.

I recommend Frontline Property Inspections for a home inspection. The owner / inspector, Mr. Todd Johnson, was accommodating and professional. The price I listed included the $85.00 termite inspection and was discounted the $20.00 I saved with a coupon from Angie's List. The Inspection report was easy to understand and comprehensive. At my request Mr. Johnson recommended an electrician and a general contractor. I am happy with the service and I recommend Frontline Property Inspections.r

The sellers of a home we put an offer on accepted with contingency that we could get a home & termite inspection done within a week. I came to Angie's list & contacted three highly rated inspectors via messaging to see if this would be possible. Fortunately, Todd at Frontline had a cancellation on the upcoming Thursday morning & could take the job. He pointed me to his website which was very informative. On the morning of the inspection, Todd was there before our 8:30 am appointment. The owner was working from her home office so he started his inspection there so she would be undisturbed for client calls as he did his inspection. The inspection took a few hours and it was very thorough. He had another gentleman come out to do the termite inspection portion of the job. Todd told my husband & I the areas of greatest concern and assured us that on the whole, the house was well maintained and as long as we kept it maintained we should be in good shape. He gave us advice on frequency of painting, how to ensure that stucco is appropriately patched and of the age and expected life of the appliances that would come with the house. He sent us a detailed report later that same night with detail on each section of the house, a summary of issues that need addressed and photos that corresponded to each area of concern.
We were very pleased by the professionalism and thoroughness of Todd's work. Hopefully we don't have any surprises once we move in, but we feel confident that we know the issues and have asked the seller to do appropriate repairs prior to closing.

Todd did an excellent job performing our home inspection. I arrived towards the end of the inspection and he provided walk through of some key area he wanted to point out and answered any questions I had. That evening I received a very detailed inspection report detailing everything he found during the day and pictures. I would defiantly use his services again.

Todd was already on the roof when I pulled up at our 9 AM appointment. I had previously looked at this home and he pointed out things that I had overlooked. He was thorough throughout, spent additional time talking to me about recommendations for fixing most problems. A professional 23 page report followed the same night, included pictures to point out defiencies. I highly recommend Todd and his service.

Tod was able to respond on very short notice (next day) and was very thorough. His 15 page report with several pages of photos arrived via email the next morning. He went the extra mile in dealing with a difficult situation which required him to return on a subsequent day to access a portion of the property which could not be seen during the originally scheduled inspection time.

Todd performed a detailed home inspection for me. He really enjoys inspecting homes and you can see it in his work. The report was very organized and easy to understand. He provides pictures in the report and gives you a detailed walk through on his findings while at the home. After the inspection, he will assist you with any follow up questions you may have. I highly recommend him.

We thought Todd had done a good job at the time and was very professional, and still think what he did was acceptable, but since moving into the home we have had several plumbing and pool issues. In retrospect, I should have probably hired an electrician/HVAC person, plumber, and pool inspector. It was not that Todd did a bad job, in fact I was quite pleased with the report he submitted to us; but he did not have the background for completing the inspection for several items that we've had issues with since moving into our home. In particular, the pool was not working properly, which we did not find out until we closed on the home. However, Todd did tell us that he was unable to do a complete inspection as he was unfamiliar with the Salt System - we blame the home owners, since they should have disclosed that the pool was not working properly. Unfortunately, we are still having plumbing issues...again, not Todd's fault, as even I could tell there were issues before we closed, but we've had a plumber and handyman both come to the house and still have not resolved these issues. If I could have afforded both Todd and a specialist in each of the specific areas listed above I would have done so...and will probably hire area specialists with my next home that I purchase. Again, I think Todd did fine with his background for a general home inspection, unfortunately, by not finding out some of the items described above, it has cost us several thousand dollars to fix these items after the fact. The only reason I would not use him again would be because I would hire more service specific individuals to inspect my home (i.e., electrician, plumber).

O We hired Todd to do a home inspection on a foreclosed home we were attempting to purchase. Todd was wonderful and very honest with us. He saved us from buying a house that we would have later regretted. He did avery thorough inspection and walked us through different areas of the house that showed concern. He arrived earlier than expected and finished the job quickly. We even had the report e-mailed to us by that evening. My husband and I highly recommend Frontline Inspections and will be using them again in the near future.

I found Frontline Property Inspections here on Angie's list and felt confident that I would get a quality inspector. I was amazed at just how far they exceeded my expectations. Todd was incredible, knowledgable, thorough and extremely detailed with his report and explanations.
We were looking to purchase a home built in 1926 so we knew we would have some items to repair. However Todd was able to locate issues and problems that we never would have seen prior to closing. He identified electrical & Plumbing issues that saved us thousands of dollars prior to close on the property. We needed to receive the inspection report on the same day as the inspection and knowing this Todd went the extra mile and produced the report that same day. This was an extensive inspection and due to the age of the home it was quite large but he came through with flying colors. We received the report and were able to present this to the seller and negotiate a better price on the home and have the repairs included.
This was an amazing experience and I am 100% satisfied with the professionalism, punctuality and detailed reports that were provided in such a short period of time.
Thank you, Frontline Property Inspections!
I will defiantly use you again in the future.

We hired Frontline to do an inspection on a home we are purchasing. Todd was able to visit the property with just a couple day's notice.
He spent time explaining the home's qualities and problems and answered our questions clearly and in a way we understood. His detailed report arrived in my inbox the same day. My realtor (who recommended a different inspection service) was impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the report, and my super picky grandfather (quite knowledgeable about home maintenance) praised the report highly as well. Frontline definately met and even exceeded our expectations and we would recommend Todd's services to anyone in need of a home inspection.

Before I even contracted with Todd he was responsive and patient with my many questions. I was impressed with his responsiveness and knew he was the guy I wanted to conduct my home inspection. I had seen other positive comments about him as well. Todd confirmed our appointment, showed up on time, was neatly dressed and thorough in his inspection. He took the time to answer my questions and physically review the most important aspects of the inspection.
As promised, he sent me the full report that evening complete with pictures of areas of concern and a complete checklist with condition status on all mechanical and structural issues. I thought his report was thorough and provided an excellent guide for me as to what projects I will want to tackle in the future and what needed to be attended to right away. This is the fourth home I've purchased and have always hired someone to do an inspection. Todd's was the best I've seen thus far. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I contacted Todd Johnson to inspect a house that I am in the process of buying in Florida. I live in North Carolina, so the entire transaction was conducted via telephone and email. He was very helpful and contacted my realtor to set up a time for the inspection. He also arranged for someone else to perform a wood destroying organism (WDO) inspection and included the cost of this inspection in his bill and forwarded the report to me. Todd emailed me the inspection report, which was very thorough and detailed, and explained each of his findings. He found one major problem, which is being taken care of by the sellers. I was very pleased with my experience with Todd and would not hesitate to use him again or to recommend him to someone else.

Todd arrived on time, and was extremely thorough. I walked around the house prior to him arriving making notes of things I wanted to ask him and in his review he covered all the areas I had questions on before I could ask him. His knowledge of the industry is exceptional. The house was built in 1996 and there was a plumbing system in the house we'd never seen before. He took the time to explain it to us and even called 2 local sources for more information to insure we had the best information to make a decision. I felt confident that his inspection was accurate and complete.

We found our dream house on the water had had it inspected by Frontline Property Inspections, LLC. Todd Johnson (owner of the company) performed our inspection and enlightened us on some critical points. It turned out that the concrete foundation had major settlement cracks in it and was allowing water to soak up into the walls of the home. These cracks could not be seen as there was a beautiful new laminate floor installed over top. Not sure how he did it, but Todd found moisture in the walls of the home as well as some large electrical concerns. We decided not to purchase this home because of the potentially large cost of repairs. Since then, we found another home that we fell in love with. Todd inspected this home for us also and pointed out several things that we needed to do in terms of maintenance which will save us money in the future. Frontline Property Inspections is a great company. We have bought and sold several propertied in the Tampa Bay Area and have paid dearly by choosing inspection companies who did not find problems that they should have found. This is a critical point of home buying that could make or break your final purchase decision I recommend that you choose this company because they are extremely detailed, timely, professional and their reports are very no-nonsense and easy to read.
