Josh Keyser, my home inspector arrived promptly, in fact he was already inspecting the exterior when I arrived. He answered all my questions and provided a detailed breakdown of all repairs necessary, including pictures and which repairs were most necessary. He was friendly, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with during the inspection, he promptly emailed me a full report that same day, and afterwards I've been able to call him to answer any follow up questions about my home. I'd definitely use Apex again and I'd be very happy to have Josh act as my inspector the next time!

We were fortunate to have Chris Nelson from Apex to do our home inspection. He was very knowledgeable and thorough, and prepared a comprehensive report. He also spent time to educate us on preventative maintenance and some history behind the construction methods and materials used in our house.
Highly recommend.

We had hired apex this last summer for house hunting. When the big rains came, we had some water come into the crawlspace of our new home. I trusted our previous inspector (Don from apex) so I called apex and they sent him out the next day. He spotted the leakage during his exam. Because of the long hot summer we had and then some torrential rain, the problem had become apparent. We really appreciated the speed of their service. Thanks apex and Don. Good job!

We have a rental house that we get inspected every 2 to 3 years, just to be able to stay ahead of any possible issues.  We've used Apex for years and are always extremely pleased with their work.  They're knowledge, professional, and full of great tips on how to keep the house well maintained.  I'd highly recommend them!

Chris from Apex was very thorough and patient with us as we asked him a million questions. We followed him around for most of the inspection and he kept us informed on what exactly he was looking for, and gave a lot of helpful advice on what issues were pressing and what things were important but could wait to be attended to. He emailed us a great thorough report just a few hours after the inspection was completed. We were very happy with their services!

Great! Bobbie caught major and minor repairs needed to the home, as well as offering suggestions as to what we should prioritize/what we could do ourselves/where a professional should step in. She explained photos and what she noticed thoroughly, as well as talked in a way I could understand. She was great on the reinspection as well. I consulted her on a few things after she made the inspection and feel so much better moving into my new home with the needed repairs complete by the seller! I'd highly recommend Apex!

We are buying a home directly from our friends, and hired Apex to come out and inspect the home. I met Chris from Apex at our friends' house before our scheduled time - great punctuality! We are first-time buyers, and he did a great job of explaining to me all of what he was inspecting and what he could and could not do. He went a bit over the stated time, but he was very thorough and produced a very nice report. Apex also included a Pest and Dry Rot Inspection report at no additional cost, which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great home inspector.

I need a new roof within 6 months of moving in.  They missed a ginormous hole in the basement and I had huge amounts of basement flooding on the day I moved in.  Seal plate the home sits on is tipping outwards significantly.  These things should have been evaluated in the inspection and I wouldn't have purchased the home.  I would caution everyone against using this company.

The man who came was punctual and very courteous. There were multiple places on the inspection that stated he was unable to inspect the area, so he couldn't provide us with a report about that area. After purchasing the house multiple things came up that I felt should have been noted in a through inspection. These things were not noted until several months after purchasing the house, thankfully nothing that would have been a deal breaker. It was my first home inspection, so maybe the things I felt he should have noted, weren't things he would usually check.  I did appreciate all the photos they included in the report they emailed to me!

Apex had inspected the home when we originally bought it.  After having it rented out, before we moved in we wanted to make sure everything was still in working order.  We were able to request that a modified inspection be done.  The inspector was on time, very pleasant and helpful.  She pointed out potential problems, and made suggestions as to what we might do to alleviate them.

A pre-purchase home inspection was done on a older home with issues. Fortunately the issues were found during the inspection. I would never buy a new or used home without a home inspection.

We had a home inspection for our first home as part of the buying process.  The home inspector was punctual, friendly, explained what she was looking for as she inspected and pointed things out right away.  She also sent us a detailed report with pictures pointing out the specific areas that needed repair, maintenance or monitoring.  It was overall a great experience!

Dale was prompt, extremely thorough, a pleasure to interact with and highly professional (so much so that we thought he was the business owner).  The seller couldn't believe how thorough Dale was and stated he wanted him to use his services in the purchase of his future home.
The report was clear, concise and thorough; providing photos as well as corresponding descriptions of the items in question.

Steve from Apex was recommended to me by my realtor, Marty Weil, and  came to perform a home inspection on a home I was trying to purchase. Josh from Apex also came, to perform a sewer scope. Both arrived early and were very kind and personable. We had an unusual situation with the homeowners trying to refuse the home inspection and they were patient through the whole process. Steve waited an hour to start the home inspection and once he did he was very thorough and informative. He madesure to explain everything he was doing and what he was seeing, including giving us tips and information like the location of important
shut-off valves and switches. Josh had to leave for another job while wewere waiting to see if the homeowner would let us do the inspection (which was agreed upon in our sales contract), but he came back to do the scope and was quick and helpful - he even gave me a CD with the video of the scope on it for my records. The listing agent was present at the inspection and he even commented on Steve's performance, stating that he was even more thorough than the inspectors he usually recommends! Even though the homeowners were  very difficult, and downright rude, Steve and Josh were kind and professional the whole time. I ended up backing out of the house, but I will definitely hire Steve and Josh from Apex again when the next one comes along! Worth every penny! I even tried to tip Steve for his troubles, and he politely refused! Classy guys.

Both guys were very knowledgeable, professional and punctual.  But the inspection report had too "not able to get a clear view so not able to inspect" and many such disclaimers which made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
But for that pretty good experience.

Scott was already at the house when I arrived just prior to the appointment time and was set up to start work. He explained the process to me, spoke with my Realtor and my contractor, answered my questions, listened to my concerns, and went to work. The full inspection took just under three hours, and he spent 1/2 hour with me after he was done, explaining his findings and pointing out where within the house each issue is.
I can't say enough good things about Scott - his friendliness, his professionalism, his thoroughness, and his patience. I would definitely hire Apex again and have no hesitation about recommending them to friends and family.

So far I think they have done a good job.  They didn't find anything and nothing has appeared to be a problem.  The guy I worked with I found to be pretty personable.  I don't remember any problems, so therefore it was good.

They missed a lot of things in the inspection. I think that I caught more things than the guy did. I caught mold and dry rott that he missed completly. We have been in the home for seven months and we have had issues since then. We started out having an issue every single week for the first three months and then an issue every three weeks since we moved in. Our chandelier fell out of our ceiling as well as another light fixture. A recessed light completed coroded and would burn out bulbs within minutes of installing. We have also had a lot of pest control issues with ants and sprider. There have been water issues as well. The yard was constantly flooded and there was no drainage in the yard. We had to have a french drain installed in the back yard. Our hot water tank went out twice and the control panel had to be replaced. The bathtub went out and two of the toilets would constantly run.
Response from APEX HOME INSPECTIONS, INC.
"The comments above are not true. The true facts: 1. The inspection fee was not $850. It was $360. 2. Just about every problem or issue that they stated was clearly documented by our inspector in the inspection report (which they received a copy of.) This includes mold issues, dry rot issues, electrical issues, pest issues and water drainage issues. 3. In regards to the the other issues (water heater, bathtub and toilets), at the time of the inspection eight months ago they were all fully functional. This is documented in the report, as well."
