I hired 1st choice for a home inspection in the Knoxville area as a home buyer. Thomas Crews was my inspector. My experience was fantastic! The most important thing is that the inspection was excellent and thorough. I had several things I wanted the inspector to look for. After his inspection, Thomas called me for around 15 minutes on the phone to go over the things I asked about and to tell me a bit more. When I saw the inspection report, I was amazed at how much he was able to inspect and document during his time slot. Importantly, it was very well written up and explained. I am not a first time home buyer, so I have seen two previous inspection reports. This report was worth much more. I hired 1st choice based on seeing that they had almost entirely positive reviews everywhere. For a company of this size, avoiding negative reviews is extremely difficult. I found that they were professional in conduct and responsiveness. The pricing was fair -- $395 for inspection and $150 for a 2 day Radon test. The Radon cost is a bit higher than other companies, but is a better test because it is 2 days of continuous monitoring with professional grade equipment and the inspector has to go back to get the equipment. In summary, I think is very likely the best inspection company in Knoxville. Comparable price with superior, professional, and knowledgable service.

They did a great job! I got my inspection report with pictures the same day. I was able to call and talk with David and get some additional information on an item I wasn’t quite sure about and he explained in detail. I would definitely use them again on any project requiring their services!

It went great, Richard was very thorough and explained everything he found. I feel like it was a good investment to have him inspect a home I thought was almost perfect. His pictures and report was extremely helpful, allowing me to work with the builder to get issues fixed.

Perfect. We have moved many times and have never found a thorough and accurate Inspector, until now. Richard took his time. He answered all of my questions and made recommendations for the future care of our home. The experience couldn't have been better.

Excellent service, excellent work. I would've given a better rating except I hired him to do an emergency inspection and due to time constraints needed the report a couple days earlier than normal--paid extra for this. Long story short, he says he sent the report but I didn't get it in time. I called, he sent it again, it still didn't come. He got a friend to send it and it came (2 days late). He said he'd refund the extra I paid but he never did.

Thank you for the review. This is Tommy Kirby the owner of First Choice Home Inspections. I can't find any record of us having performing an inspection at this address. And we never charge extra for a quick turnaround. Could you call me on my cell phone? 865. 696. 882307/07/2017

Nathan Ivy was my inspector from the Knoxville branch. He was very friendly, and extremely thorough with his inspection. My report was ready the next day (minus the radon test which takes over 48 hours due to the nature of the testing) which was a lot earlier than I had expected. He and Tommy Kirby, the owner, kept me in the loop with emails and they even informed me when they were driving the mold samples to the lab for testing. They found mold which needed to be re mediated before the house could be safely lived in, and some structural things with the foundation which probably caused the mold. I paid $965 and it was worth every penny because if we had completed the home purchase without an inspection, we would have been stuck with thousands of dollars of repairs and probably been ill from the mold as well, I would totally recommend 1st Choice Home Inspectors to anyone in Nashville, or Knoxville, and the surrounding areas.
