InspectEx allowed for easy online scheduling. Dave arrived on time and did a very thorough job, taking time to review all of their findings with me upon completion. As a special touch they provided a very helpful book about caring for your new home that I wish I would have had years ago!
Very friendly, professional, and I would highly recommend using InspectEx.

Dave and Lisa are friendly and easy to work with. This was my first experience buying a house, and they were happy to have us follow them around and ask tons of little questions. They found many of the things we had seen when we viewed the house originally, plus several big things we had not realized. Dave recommended a level 2 chimney inspection, since he did not have the specialized equipment to check the chimney but could tell they weren't in the best of shape. We are very grateful for this, as the chimney inspection found over $10,000 worth of repairs needed to make the fireplaces functional and up to code. While we won't be buying the house we had Inspectex look over, we will absolutely turn to them for the next attempt!

It was very easy to schedule the inspection; just gave Dave a call and got a slot for two days later. One thing that I appreciated was that he has his prices listed on his website, so I knew what to expect, cost-wise, ahead of time. He and Lisa arrived on time for the inspection. They spent 2-3 hours evaluating the house. They were very receptive to questions and informative with their answers. I received a summary report within a reasonable timeframe and the full report two weeks later. There were no surprises in them, as Dave and Lisa verbally went over the larger issues at the time of the inspection. They were professional and responsive; I'd recommend their services.

Dave and Lisa arrived right on time. They took a moment to introduce themselves and fully explain the entire process before they began their inspection of the property. This is my first house and they both invited me to walk along with them during the inspection to ask questions. They even took the time to give me pointers on what to look out for or keep an eye on as a first-time home-owner. I was very impressed with their professionalism. When Dave was inspecting the furnace, he called me over and showed me how to change the air filter and then showed me what to look for as my water heater aged. They were very thorough and informative.
They had comprised a summary of their inspection by that evening and made sure to let me know that they were available anytime if I had questions about anything regarding the home even if it was not about the inspection. They were kind and I will use them again if I ever have need of their services.

It went fabulously! Dave and Lisa were absolutely wonderful. They arrived on time (a little early, even); and took just over three hours to complete the inspection. They were professional and courteous; patient with my husband and I (we had a lot of questions!); and great at explaining things to us in terms we could understand. They were very thorough, even though we had only purchased a basic inspection. The report they provided after the inspection was complete was easy to understand and wonderfully put-together. The house we bought is pretty old--there were quite a few things "found" during the process, but Dave and Lisa helped us understand which things were normal with an older house, so did not need much attention--and which things were major concerns that needed repair right away. I would say the services they had provided were worth every penny--and then some. FYI--they're also very, very budget-friendly in terms of pricing in comparison to other home inspection providers. All around--a fantastic find!

It went well. They were flexible with the appointment and arrived on time. They provided a lot of helpful information as I didn't know what to expect. They were very thorough and we haven't had any issues.

Inspectex arrived on time and performed all their duties in about 4 hours. They were very thorough and provided us with major issues during the inspection, a detailed list of major items in an email a couple of days later and a formal written report a few weeks after that.

We had a very good experience with Dave and his assistant. They both were very informative, and offered good advice for making necessary improvements for safety sake. They were efficient and didn't waste time, or skim over any details.

Dave explained in detail the home inspection and what was included. He is knowledgable and provided a complete price quote for three inspections that I was requesting. He was prompt and found a structural problem with the condo. I was able to renegotiate the purchase contract. Written inspection reports and radon testing were delivered promptly.

Dave was there and getting started before we even arrived. Dave was very pleasant in introducing himself to us and explaining what he had done so far. He began with the exterior of the home while we toured again what we hoped will be our new home. When he was finished, he took us around outside to point out and explain the items he found and general maintenance items that we needed to monitior. Then we went inside the home where he inspected the main floor and basement. Again, we caually walked around while he conducted a detailed inspection. At the end, he took us through the entire house and described any of the issues he found as well as some of the nice features in the home. In all, he was there about 4 hours. He was so friendly to deal with and answered all of our questions. Within a few days of the inspection, we had a detailed report that priorities the various items he found which I find very useful. I would highly recommend Dave and InspecteX to any in need of a home inspection.

He arrived promptly and spent about 4.5 hours in our home. He performed a detailed inspection and provided us with answers to the questions that we had. He did advise us that we might need a specialist in one area of our home and did not give us definite answers on anything that he was not an expert in. Most of the issues with the home we were already aware of but Dave did answer our questions and mapped out some areas for improvement that we can work on when the weather gets a little nicer. I would feel confident recommending his services to anyone that I know. I also believe the price was fair considering our home is very large with around 2,500 square feet finished as well as a large basement that is unfinished and this included the radon test. When he was finished he emailed the report to us within a couple days and then he mailed us a copy of the radon report as well as some information on maintenance times for certain things in our home. Overall we are very satisfied with the service we received.

My husband and I are first-time buyers, so we weren't sure what to expect from a home inspection. We also had lots of questions about the property! I took the afternoon off work to be there for the whole inspection. Dave and Lisa arrived on time. They were professional, knowledgeable, and patient. They thoroughly inspected the house and the garage, and the whole inspection lasted three and a half hours. At the end, they walked through the house with us and gave us the opportunity to ask more questions. That very evening Dave sent a summary report, complete with photos and clear descriptions, which was color-coded so that we could see how to prioritize repairs. He sent the radon report and full home report a couple days later even though our inspection period included the holidays. We only have positive comments about our experience, and we're grateful not only for a trustworthy home report but also for Dave's ability to explain things clearly and patiently.

The man was prompt, spent lots of time and was apparently thorough. Identified a very expensive mold issue in the attic that we were happy to have the sellers remediate. We were very happy at the time. Now a year has gone by. Last month I spent 8500 dollars to replace the 22 year old roof that was in such good shape that it had "another 5 years in it." This month I get to spend 5500 on a new furnace as the old one had holes in the heat exchanger that could have lead to the explosion of my house and the death of myself, and more upsetting, my wife and three small children. According to my new best friend the furnace guy, there is absolutely no way an inspection should have missed the issue. What we really wanted from our inspection was to know that we weren't going to have to have to buy a new roof and a new furnace 14 months after we moved in. We are disappointed. Relieved that the whole house blowing up and tragic loss of life was avoided. Still a little bitter about the roof and furnace.
Response from Inspectex Home Inspection Service
"Hello Member. I am sorry to read about the issues with your home. As far as my inspection of the home, I reviewed the inspection report submitted to you and the notes made to you. First of all, regarding the roof. At the time of the inspection I estimated the age of the roof to you. I also stated that the age was just that, an estimate, and that you needed to consult with the seller as to the exact age of the roof, which would have let you know if there were any other defects with the roof that I could not physically see. I evaluated the roof and its components to the best of my ability. Also, my evaluation of the roof was limited to the areas that I could safely access. The second story roof was not safely accessible and I visually inspected it. This was mentioned in the report. In regards to the furnace, my report stated that the furnace and A/C units were 22 years old at the time of the inspection. At the time of the inspection, the carbon monoxide test that I performed over the heat exchanger showed no signs of CO leaks. In performance of my CO test, I test over the heat exchangers before the blower fan engages, to get the CO reading before the blower fan starts and blows air over them, which then prevents a good reading. I stated in my report that the furnace is functional, but beyond the typical life expectancy of a furnace which is between 15 to 20 years. I also stated that because of its age it should be evaluated annually, which you did and I am sorry to hear that issues were found with it. However, if the heat exchanger developed holes in it after my inspection, how was I to know this during the inspection when I could not readily inspect the entire heat exchanger assembly installed inside the furnace. Member, I am sorry that you incurred expenses on the home after the inspection. But a home inspection is a snapshot of the home at the time of the inspection. I did not elude or lead you to believe that we guaranteed the components of the home that were inspected to last for any specific time frame. I never do this with any of my clients, and I do not believe anyone can. Other than the issue with the mold, that you had remediated, when we left the home after the inspection, the components inspected were functional and not defective. I am glad to hear that all is going well with you and your family, and I wish you the best in the future. Thank you."

Our inspector beat us to the house and was already setting up prior to our arrival (we were 5 minutes early). He explained to us everything that he was going to do and offered to let us follow him around or go about our own business. If he had anything he wanted to point out, he showed us and explained how the problem could be remedied. Any concerns that we had he immediately inspected and let us know whether he believed they were an issue or not. Overall experience was great.

David was extremely thorough spending a full two hours going over every detail (for a condo inspection it is interior only). His report was timely and well organized. I would highly recommend him to everyone needing this service.

Dave was very responsive and professional right from the start. He was able to answer our initial questions over the phone and able to schedule our home inspection in a timely fashion. His prices are reasonable. Dave gave the home a very thorough inspection that we felt confident in. His report was detailed. His follow up was great. We would absolutely recommend him to others for their home inspection needs!
