Ellen and Ron were great to work with. We had a house built out of state and Ron gave us peace of mind by proving a thorough inspection with an easy to understand and comprehensive report of his findings. Your money will be well spent by utilizing A-1 Home Inspections. read more

Couldn't be any happier with A-1 Home Inspections. My realtor sent me several referrals, but I wanted to do my research and pick my own inspector. I saw the great reviews on Yelp and his availability and pricing was in line with my schedule and budget. Ron and his wife, Ellen, are the greatest team. Ellen was responsive and super helpful with all my questions, concerns, looking up permits, scheduling ~ you name it. Ron was equally amazing. He walked through all the items on my 4pt with me and even gave me tips in maintaining some of my items like my Air Condenser. I even asked him for advice and opinions about items that were not part of the 4pt and he was super helpful and more than willing to give me his thoughts. With the inspection report and 4pt report itself Ron was very meticulous with things he found and as a buyer I very much appreciated it! I was able to get my seller to reduce the price of the home to accommodate the cost for some of the items that came up on the inspection report. Thank you Ron and Ellen!! Highly recommend!! read more

Being I'm in California I needed a professional to be my eyes for my house purchase in Florida. I found Ron & Ellen here on Yelp, contacted their office and first spoke to Ellen for over an hour, she explained some tips on hurricanes and home building differences than Ca. I scheduled my inspection and Ron met up with the seller and gave me a full detailed inspection, with a full report with pic's and also followed up with a call on any questions that I may have. Being the roof life in Florida is 15 years Ellen gave me a referral to Top Cat Roofing who also went above and beyond to explain roof replacement. If you are looking for a owner operator you can trust hire out A-1 Home Inspections you will not be disappointed. read more

I recently hired A-1 to complete a home inspection for an upcoming home purchase. I was not able to attend the inspection in person so finding a reputable organization was really important to me. After Ron had completed his inspection, I received the finalized report (96 pages) 24 hours later with photographic evidence (both optical and thermo for installation) of all items of note that was mentioned in the report. Ron created a summary of all the items that needed my attention and then went into detail on every item. I then received a call from both Ron and Ellen to ensure I received the report and to answer any questions I had on the findings. They took their time with all of my questions and even provided some great "next-steps" suggestions that were extremely helpful. I am much more confident in the purchase of my new home now that I have a firm understanding of the maintenance awaiting me. I would recommend their service for anyone needing a home inspection. They really are looking out for your best interest. read more

Best home inspection ever! We had 5-hour inspections and the inspector / owner, Ron provided thorough explanations. He is very detail oriented and we found numerous things that need to be repaired or replaced. A-1 Home Inspection is Excellent and highly recommended!! We could give 10+ Stars!! read more

Best inspection ever. Ron and Ellen were very professional, and inspection was worth every penny. Realtors might not be thrilled because he will find and disclose all problems, but that's what you hire an inspector for. Ron is very knowledgeable and will definitely have your back. He provided a detailed report with all findings, and was even able to assist me with certain problem areas cost estimates. read more

Ron was very professional and knowledgeable and extremely thorough. He spent 6 hours inspecting our potential purchase and provided a detailed report with lots of pictures along with explanations about how each area either met or did not meet current construction codes. If not for Ron we may have made a very expensive mistake purchasing a home that needed extensive repairs. read more

Ellen and Ron were extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable and I am very happy I went with them to inspect my home. Ellen made it very easy to setup an appointment and Ron was at my house early and ready to go. Ron is clearly very knowledgeable as he has been doing this for decades and was able to find a few things that I would have never even thought to look at myself. Additionally, Ron took the time to teach me a few things about the air conditioning system and the water system that I was not aware of with my new home. He also gave some recommendations on how to improve my home. I wasn't expecting any of this helpful information, but am very happy to have received it. After we were all done he told me he would have the report in 3 days. Instead, the report was delivered the NEXT MORNING. I read through it and it was very thorough and documented any and all issues with the house. I will definitely be referring back to this document for years to come to remember all the good tips Ron gave me. Money well spent. read more

Great job on our home inspection. We really appreciate it. Very professional and extremely thorough!! Helped us discover many issues that would have cost thousands had we purchased! This led to finding a better house and we know everything that will need to be done....Thanks again! read more

Highly recommend A-1 Home Inspections. I had Ron come out twice while I was hunting for a house and both times I was not disappointed. He was very professional and very thorough. Money well spent! read more

I would recommend this company to any one who needs an inspection!! Ron was amazing! He literally explained everything to myself and fiancé. We learned so much! If it wasn't for him we would have been screwed out of a lot of money and a bad house if we went to the listing agents "recommended home Inspectors". NEVER go through a listing agents home inspector... The are partnered together so if the inspection goes well, the listing agent sells the house , and then the inspection company gets a cut on the side! Ron was so thorough and he explained everything as we walked the house with him! Any questions we had, he was happy to answer. The house we had inspected looked beautiful from first look but it was far from that! Bad plumbing, leaks, roof, electrical. Not good at all. Needless to say we're about to have another inspection done with Ron. This time I was able to look at things upon viewing the house that I would have otherwise not noticed... So hopefully we made the right choice this time! read more

I was very pleased with the service I received from A-1 home inspections. Ron was very thorough from start to finisn.

Very professional and very knowledgeable, I 100% recommend A-1 to anyone that is In need of a home inspection! read more

As first time Florida home buyers there were many things that we didn't know about that were not relevant to our previous homes(Upstate New York). First off, the initial contact Ellen is courteous and professional. She acquired the history of the home , explained the process that they would go through and explained some of the key things they would be looking for during the inspection based on that history. Secondly, the inspector Ron, arrived on home introduced himself to us and the current homeowners and agent, again in a professional manner. The inspection was thorough, and Ron explained not only what he was looking for, but why, and how it would impact us as new owners. Using A-1 Home Inspections, we found the right home for us, one that wasn't going to put us in trouble with repairs. read more
