Talon Home Inspections

Founded 2014 • With Angi since January 2015

Talon Home Inspections will thoroughly inspect any residential dwelling and provide a complete and comprehensive report of all the major systems and components in your home within 24 hours of any inspection. Our reports are clear, concise, informative, and specific to every house we inspect. They contain photos, drawings and video to make it easier to understand and identify problems and deficiencies within the home and recommendations to prevent future problems. This is especially helpful in areas that are not readily visible like crawlspaces and attics. We are a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB), American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), and Kentucky Real Estate Inspectors Association (KREIA). Check out our Media section on Angie's List for a copy of a sample inspection report and agreement.

The home inspection went well. I was very pleased with the thoroughness of the inspection. Mr. Barone, took the time to go over everything he found that needed attention, in detail. He also gave suggestions of how to correct my issues. I would definitely use Talon Home Inspections again and would recommend Talon to anyone needing a home inspection.

As a first time home buyer, I wanted to make sure that every step was covered in a way that I could understand the process and the impact of the inspection results. I was so relieved at having chosen Talon because they checked every box. Patient, professional, thorough, friendly, etc. He was able to explain everything in a way that saved me from buying a house that was not right for my family. I can't recommend them enough!

Mr. Barone was very responsive to my email request and all questions. I would greatly recommend him for a home inspection. The final report was very detailed, contained pictures and I was able to create work lists for contractors. A+ work and reporting.

Absolutely the finest, most complete home inspection I have ever received. Talon Home Inspections is simply the best. I have purchased several homes and never had an inspection so complete. This was a large, 5 bedroom house built in 1830 with several outbuildings that were inspected as well. The inspector took all this into consideration and clearly identified age-related issues within the report. I can't say enough about this company. I highly recommend them without reservation.

Flawless. Carlo is the man. Called me back within 24 hrs to schedule the inspection an was able to do it within several days. Sent me the details to review of services that would be performed, etc...a couple days beforehand. Called to insure all was well the day before work was to be done. Took 3 hours to complete inspection. Over the course of the 4th hour, he reviewed with me, my wife and my realtor issues that he found. He started off by stating there was nothing major which was a big relief. Then he went THOROUGHLY through the other things he has found. When he does the inspection it is all uploaded to a report that you can access in case anything is missed (down to lose outlets!) Payment was requested at end of services. We received a homeowner maintenance guide and a nifty worksheet that allos the buyer to negotiate repairs/compensation for issues found. The following day I left a message with Carlo to discuss further one of the issues he noted and he called me back (after hours!) to discuss. Couldn't be more pleased with his service. 110 percent A+!

I have had Carlo at Talon inspect 2 homes for me this past year. His professionalism, attention to detail, quality and care are unparalleled. I will not use or recommend another home inspection service in the greater Lexington area while Carlo is in the business. It has been refreshing to say the least to have a business that truly cares about the customer and understands that his input will guide you through the biggest financial investment most of us will make in our lives! Honest, thorough caring and responsive are the hallmark of Talon Home Inspections. There is no alternative in his service area! Thank you Carlo!

It went great, this is my 3rd time buying a house and I have never experience the great service that Talon Home Inspection provided. I love the walk through outside and inside of the house of the concerns he found that may need to be look at or addressed. I received the report the same day, the report is online and very detailed. It show's you picture of issue and another picture/diagram of what it should be. My favorite thing about the report is that I can create a repair list that gets emailed to my realtor which she can forward to the seller of what repairs I would like to see happen. Carlo the inspector is a great guy, communicates well and does great work. I will definitely use him again when buying a house.

The inspection went off without a hitch. Carlo was professional and beyond informative, I honestly couldn't recommend him more. After his inspection we did a walkthrough of the home and he spent an hour or so going through his findings with me, and later that evening I got the full inspection report - complete with pictures and expanded explanations and examples.

Carlo did an amazing job! He was very through with his inspection and pointed out even the smallest details so that we knew exactly what type of condition the home was in and what to expect going forward. Being a first time homebuyer, I feel much more confident going forward with my purchase after having Carlo inspect our new house. I highly recommended him to anyone looking to get a home inspection.

Talon Home Inspections provided both my home inspection and Radon Test. The inspection and Radon test went very well. Carlo was punctual and professional. He provided a very detailed report that was beyond what I expected. He also provided a home owner book that had a section to track improvements/repairs which was an unexpected bonus. The sellers had a couple of breakers turned off when he was there for the inspection so he was unable to test the stove and if the hot water heater was working, but he agreed if the sellers turned back on the breakers to check those things when he came back to pick up the Radon test equipment, we were able to get them to turn the breakers on and Carlo did test the stove and water heater when he went back. He also encouraged me to reach back out if I have any further questions. I would definitely use Talon Home Inspections again.

The inspection went very well. Carlo did a great job. The amount of detail in the report was beyond my expectations. Home inspections use an HTML report format that allows for photos and videos of the inspection along with recommendations. They also offer a home owner inspection book that allows for keeping tracking of any improvement or repairs done in the future and has tons of tips and recommendations.

Carlo from Talon home inspections completed our inspection. He was very knowledgeable, detail oriented and thorough. He took as much time as necessary and spent time completing a walk through with us to explain his findings. I would highly recommend Carlo for anyone making a home purchase. His pricing is not the least expensive but his work is worth every penny. I am not leaving pricing information because pricing is determined by the size of the home. If you need a quote he will be more than happy to give you one.

Carlo was extremely through in his inspection and found a number items that needed repaired even though it was a new constructed home. He is very attentive to the clients needs and special requests. I was very comfortable after the inspection. I brought each item to the attention of the builder for correction, so his work was very worthwhile. We will use no other inspector in the future as I believe I found the best in Talon Inspections.
