NIGHTMARE FOR THE SELLER ! PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR POSSIBLE HOME BUYING INSPECTION.
Description of Work: Be ware of this company, I am the seller and my buyer hired Texas Pride Home Inspectio n to come out and inspect our home for a possible sale. I want to warn everyone that they are absolutely horrible. The inspector who came out to our home left our home in a mess. First of all the inspector that came out tried to enter the Attic in the garage and broke the entire ladder. Obviously he was rather a large guy and this is very bad business on their part. 2nd the cabinets that he opened though out the home were left open. He left debris from his feet through out the home. He also left windows open, when he tried to check the windows. The 1/2 bath window is a taller size window, and therefore it had a blind that he let go to the top and we had to get a tall ladder to bring it down. My husband also stated that he used the wrong shoes to get up on the roof as well. 3rd- I have a bar refrigerator in the kitchen that he made himself at home with. We were very disappointed with the way this so called professional conducted this inspection. This entire inspection experience for the seller was horrible. WARNING PLEASE IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A HOME DO NOT HIRE TEXAS PRIDE HOME INSPECTION. YOU WILL BE SORRY !! MOVE ON TO ANOTHER COMPANY.

Response from Texas Pride Home Inspections
I am sorry about your ladder. At 195 lbs, I do not consider myself "a rather large guy." I did note that the ladder was in poor condition and could pose a danger before entering the attic, but I felt completing the attic inspection was important to my client. I would normally put my extendable ladder up next to the house ladder and use the safe route, but I was unable to do so in this case as there were some items of storage in the vicinity that were immovable. To complete the attic inspection, I had no choice but to use the provided house ladder that is made for this purpose. I climbed the ladder successfully and entered the attic. After completing the attic inspection, when coming back down, the third rung from the bottom separated from the ladder and I fell through to the ground. I did cut myself on the nails that were put into the side of the ladder to hold the third rung in place. Since these ladders do not use nails in their construction to secure the rungs, I can only guess that it had been broken previously and repaired improperly rather than replaced. When I left the property, the only damage to the ladder was the third rung that had not even snapped, but had come off on one side and was hanging. This hardly could be described as "broke the entire ladder." At the time, I even felt that despite the fall, I was glad I found this dangerous situation so the homeowner could fix it and not fall when he was getting his belongings out of the attic before moving. Before leaving the property, I called the listing agent and reported the problem with the ladder because if we do not leave the property as we found it, we always inform the seller's agent. This brings me to your other allegations. Our inspection process includes opening all blinds and unlocking all windows when arriving, and as we clear every room in the house we close and lock all the windows and close the blinds unless we note that a blind is left up for a plant or another reason, and we make every attempt to return it to that position. We also close all cabinet after checking the plumbing. When we leave the property, we always make a final pass to ensure the property is locked and that we did not leave any tools behind, so the likelihood of us leaving a cabinet open is extremely slim. Concerning the debris in your home, we do not wear our shoes in the homes, but leave them at the exterior doors except in special circumstances such as flip homes with dirty or dangerous walking surfaces. Your home did not fall into that category. We find that not only does it keep any debris out of the house, but we can inspect by feeling the floor with our feet while we walk around the house. It is amazing what you can feel under carpeting with socked feet. We do not partake of the items in our client's refrigerators, and in fact we do not even open them. In the state of Texas, the refrigerator along with the washer and dryer are not considered part of the basic inspection and are not included unless specifically requested by the buyer. Neither you nor your husband were present, so I am curious how he knew what shoes we wore when we walked the roof. Please let him know we use Cougar Paws. They are the shoe of choice for roofers and they are designed for walking on different roofing surfaces. We use them mainly because they are the safest shoe to use when on a roof. Since we believe that the roof inspection is of utmost importance to our clients, we pride ourselves on making sure we get on the roof if at all possible (safe to the inspector and not damaging to the roof). I am sorry you felt the "inspection experience for the seller was horrible," but I inspect to ensure the buyer is aware of any issue in the house so they can make informed decisions moving ahead. I live by the core values of honesty and integrity that were instilled in me during my Naval career. I was not surprised by your review since you said on the phone that you were going to slam me on Angie's List. That you did, but based on the fact that you waited almost a month after the inspection to contact me about any complaint and because you said on the phone "[Member Information Removed] to kill a sale", I must surmise that the sale of your home did not go as planned, and in your upset state you decided to lash out at me. I do wish you luck with your home sale, and if instead of attacking me, you put your energy into fixing some of the deficiencies I noted, you may have a better experience on the next contract.

We were thrilled with the quality of service provided by Texas Pride Home Inspections. Thomas responded to our message via Angie's List immediately, even though it was after hours. Him and his son Christopher conducted a very thorough inspection together. They explained everything covered in the report, and welcomed any questions that we had. I definitely recommend Texas Pride Home Inspections, and would absolutely hire them again.

Tom and Chris from Texas Pride Home Inspection did a fantastic job. Pre-inspection communication was excellent and they arrived right on scheduled time. During the inspection, they discovered a small gas leak and took care of it and they alerted the owner right away. They were very thorough and explained everything to me in layman's terms. They discovered potential dangers, as well as, pointed out the good aspects of the home. They inspected for four hours; which was great as property was less than 2000 square feet. Their cost is set and very fair. I received the written report on the same day as the inspection. I would highly recommend Texas Pride Home Inspections and will surely use them again if/when I purchase my next property.

Thomas and Christopher had already completed the roof inspection by the agreed upon arrival time at the property (8am). They were both very professional and informative throughout the entire process, allowing us to frequently ask questions and engage throughout the inspection. Any time that they saw something of moderate concern they would make sure to call us over and educate us thoroughly on their opinions of the property. My wife and I are first time home buyers, and they were very patient in their explanations. They were at the property for approx. 4.5 hours for a 2200 sqft home. Their report was 35 pages in total, fully detailed with many pictures and paragraph length explanations where needed. I was very happy with the amount of work that they did for the price that they charged. Very satisfied customer and would use them again.

We apologize if there was anything about the inspection that you felt was less than "Grade A". We strive on every inspection to provide the best service possible. Unfortunately, there is no comment in your review to indicate what you felt was less than perfect, and although you indicated the price was not good, you did not provide the price paid. In an effort to find out what we may have done, we tried to research your inspection; however, we have no record of an inspection conducted at the address above or for the name listed in the review. If you could provide the name or address on the inspection agreement we signed at the time of inspection, we could better respond to your concerns. Thank you and we apologize for any issues you may have felt were sub-standard.

A pleasant father son duo who performed a property inspection on my new home. They were punctual, personable and experienced in the home inspection arena. They took time and explained every procedure conducted during the inspection. The report compiled by Texas Pride Home Inspectors were written professionally & included photos. Definitely would refer them to potential new customers.

When I arrived at the house Tom was already there. They did an extremly thorough inspection of the house finding the smallest of cracks in the ceiling joints and nail pops. This was the first house me and my wife were attempting to buy so we were both nervous of how the inspection would go. I stayed around for the entire inspection and Tom explain everything he found and what he was looking for. He answered all my questions and gave me tips on general home maintance. It was a big relief to have an inspector be so knowledgable and thorough. They really helped put my mind at ease. I thought it would be atleast a day or two before we got the full report but I recieved it later that day. I can't say thanks enough for all the help.

The inspectors arrived on time and actually completed all three inspections earlier than planned. Inspection was very detailed both inside and out. They noticed exposed nails on roof down to hairline cracks in stucco. They gave us all we needed for a confident purchase.

Our inspectors arrived right on time, and took their time fully inspecting he house. They went through the home with a fine tooth comb! They went above and beyond our expectations. We had expected some damage, but the builder had made it seem minimal, at best. We had not planned to get an additional inspection on the home, but I cannot express how happy I am that we did. This company brought out two inspectors and were incredibly thorough. There was no rush, they skipped nothing. The inspection report was filled with photos, and they marked the home with blue painters tape in all the areas needing to be addressed cosmetically. They found things that others had missed, and most importantly, saved us THOUSANDS of dollars down the road by finding building flaws that had gone otherwise undetected. Their customer service is above and beyond. We are a military family and live 1700 miles from our new home. They were so accommodating with the online paperwork and over the phone payment. Being able to put our trust in someone, being so far from our investment, has been paramount. I can say that I trust them, and I would recommend them highly.
Description of Work: After a major hail storm, we contacted them to inspect the damage to our new construction home before going to close. They gave us a very competitive rate, and at the recommendation of our realtor we used their services. We couldn't be more pleased with them.

Mr. Thomas Todd far exceeded expectations. He was referred to me and I am glad he was. Top notch all around. He is professional, yet personable. Very meticulous, which is what you want in a home inspection. I have hired him twice. The first house I had an offer on he did an inspection and found EVERYTHING that needed repairs. Needless to say, I opted out of that contract due to the cost of the repairs the home needed. I hired him for the second home I put an offer on and now I will be closing on this house next week. I have since handed out 3 of his business cards. When my co-workers over heard me talking about the time and effort he put in towards performing his inspections they demanded i give them his contact info. I can not say enough about this individual and his craft. I can only hope he will be available the next time I'm in the market for another house. Thank you again Mr. Todd.

My fiance and I flip houses and Tom has inspected two houses for us so far and he has done an outstanding job. We would now not think of hiring anyone else. He is incredibly detailed and thorough and really spends the time to not only check every little detail but also make sure that you understand how to correct any issues he finds. I highly recommend Texas Pride Home inspections.

I met them at the home after they had completed the inspection. Not only did I receive a verbal report of what the concerns were, but a full walk through with them pointing out what the concerns were and why. I did not feel rushed as we went through each item. They answered all of my questions and explained everything to where I could fully understand. I was given a CD with all pictures taken and then I was emailed a fully detailed report with the pictures pertaining to the area of concern. I feel certain if the sale goes through on the house I will have no surprises based on this home inspection. Knowing the owner of this company is a veteran gave me further confidence the job performed surpassed expectation.

Tom spend 7 hrs at the house and issued a 25 page report the following day. My realtor said he hadn't seen anything as professional and as comprehensive in over a decade. Tom pointed out every little detail of what was wrong and what was good at the house. With all of the competition out there why would you want to pay $400 dollars for a ten page report from a guy who only spent 2 -3 hrs at the house you were looking to buy.
