Description of Work: So far, I've had Brad Leland perform the first two phase inspections for my new construction home. I'll definitely have him do the final inspection as well. He and his wife are friendly, helpful, flexible, and really care about their customers. It's hard to believe the rates are so reasonable given the level of service you receive! I'd suggest him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Description of Work: Brad inspected our new build home. He was very thorough and discovered several issues which we would have missed had we not used his services despite the fact that we watched the home being built from the ground up. One of the larger issues on his report was that the AC system was undersized for the house. When we took this up with the builder, we were provided the rationale for the size that had been provided and did independent research on the standards for sizing HVC systems. It is still not clear who was right--Brad or the builder-but the home has been comfortable and the new AC so far has performed well in the summer heat. We would, however, use him again. It is clear he is very experienced and knows his stuff. We were in a hurry to get the report so as not to delay a quick closing and he sent it later the same day the inspection was performed ensuring that the builder could correct the items he identified in a timely manner.

I called and emailed the top two rated home inspection companies on Angie's List on a Saturday morning. Neither of them contacted me, so I went to the 3rd rated company, Brad Leland Home Inspection Services. I could have gone with cheaper inspectors, but it definitely pays to spend a little more for someone who is thorough and very experienced, especially considering it's such a huge investment. Long story short, after three hours looking at the house, he took me outside and pushed on one of the side brick walls. It Moved! A LOT! I was in complete shock. My real estate agent was too. In 10 years, she had never heard of a home inspector going around pushing on exterior walls. That's how thorough he is. What made him great, in my opinion, is that he asked that I be there. He wanted me walking around the house with him so he could explain each issue. One example, he showed me the brick on the opposite exterior wall, and explained to me what to look for to see if it was cheaper Mexican brick, and how it slowly erodes away. I didn't end up purchasing that house, but I did use the lessons I learned from Brad to "pre-inspect" each house we looked at after that day. Thankfully we found a great house that Brad just completed an inspection on, and he was happy to tell me I did a much better job. I'd use him again in a heart beat, and will recommend him to all of my friends in the future.
Description of Work: He came out and did a three hour home inspection.

We called many other companies and ran into a huge disparity, both in price and quality of information. Some inspectors were downright unethical. Brad & Heidi were a refreshing change. Happy to be of assistance in learning the process, but refusing to engage in anything that would be a conflict of interest such as recommending companies to do the repairs. The report the gave us in a very timely manner, was thorough, professional and very well done.In follow up calls, Heidi continued to be helpful. She never failed to answer my questions quickly & thoroughly. Throughout the inspection, Brad was incredibly informative.
Description of Work: After interviewing 6 other companies at length, Brad & Heidi were the most informative, the most responsive, the most reasonable and the most ethical home inspectors we spoke with They came out very promptly, were extremely easy to work with, informed us and included us in everything they were doing, and followed up with consistency and helpfulness. They encouraged us to be present for the whole inspection. I highly recommend them.

We had Brad Leland do a 3-phase home inspection on our new Trendmaker home that we were building. The cost is split into three separate phases (pre-pour, pre-sheetrock, and final walk-through). The money spent is totally worth it. Brad found items missed by the builder and their inspectors at every stage that could have caused issues down the road. They are very professional, courteous, punctual, and VERY FAST in getting your reports to you. In most cases, if not all, we had the report that same evening. The reports are filled with color photos and very clear and detailed descriptions that are very easy for the average person to read and understand. We would definitely recommend them and would use them again ourselves.

Set up appt for afternoon so we could travel there to meet with Brad about 4PM after he'd done most of the inspection. He stayed longer than necessary to answer questions and provide recommedations. We are very pleased with his thoroughness. He offered to continue dialog if we needed to have anything clarifies after he'd gone for the day. We did call him several days later and he took time to clarify our questions.
Description of Work: Inspected new home we had built in great detail; provided formally prepaired report later that day.

We have an addition on our house built on stilts. The room is shifting and needs repair. We had 2 repair companies come out and both priced repair at twice the cost. With this drought going on, we got the feeling that they have more than enough work and can be particular about the job they take. They are both reputable companies, recommended. We had an estimate from another company. At this point, we felt that a home inspector would be able to show us the problems and if it could not pass a home inspections for selling purpose of the house, what we could do to fix the problem. Brad Leland and his wife were wonderful. They were able to go to the heart of the problems with the room and suggest recommendations. They looked over the worksheet/estimation provided by the third company and provided insight and explanations. I was very pleased and satisfied with the results. This is a hard working team, very honest, and I highly recommend them.

It was a very positivie experience.
Description of Work: Brad is a Texas certified home inspector. He was punctual for all the three meetings that I had with him. I had him inspec our foudation, frame and then the final house before we did our final walk. He has good attention to detail, and checked out everything. He also inspected the furnace and hot water in all taps. Final day he came with his wife, and they gave me a printed copy of all the reports as well as a CD with all the findings. Dealing with them was easy and hasslefree.

It went very well, we took his findings and were able to decide some very important things. We had a structural engineer look at the home, and negotiated our price a bit, based on what Brad found.
Description of Work: Brad and Heidi performed a home inspecton for us before we closed on our home in February. They were puctual and thorough. Heidi showed up with a laptop and printer and Brad went straight into looking at everything. He took pictures of everything. When he was finished he sat down with us and factually described what he saw. There were a few things that could be potential problems and advised us of things that were not to code. He went over all of the pictures and made us a folder with a preliminary report and disk of all 148 pictures he took. The full report was in my email the next morning - about 18 hours later. Excellent service and a true professional.

Brad and Heidi are wonderful! They are very professional, kind, thorough and efficient inspectors. We were first time home buyers, and they did a great job of showing us what they were talking about, teaching us, and generally making sure we were comfortable with the information they were giving us. They also have a good network of connections to get other things done (termite inspection for us) and were very good about that. Their prices are very reasonable, and they give you a printout right away of your inspection, and both the document and original digital pictures burned to a CD right then and there before you leave, so that you know exactly what everything is and where it is. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Inspected two homes in the south and southwest Houston area, both were about 2000 sq. feet, one was 50 years old, one story, large lot, the other was less than a year old, 2 stories, smaller lot in a newer development.
