Last year we got hit by a hail storm. My insurance did send an adjuster to assess the damage. The report stated normal wear and tear and no need for replacement. I believed them. 12 month later I had water dripping from my ceiling after a heavy rainstorm. A friend in the neighborhood gave me a number from the inspection company he used and highly recommended. I contacted A-Tex Home Inspection to assess the damage. Gunar the inspector checked first my attic before he went on to the roof. He explained in detail to me where the water was coming in and asked if I was aware that the roof is severely damaged by hail. What an eye opener, so much for trusting my insurance. The final report Gunar prepared was highly professional, complete with digital photos and detailed areas of the damage. The inspector helped me to deal with the insurance and game me tips on what to watch out for when dealing with a roofer. The whole process was so easy that in just 3 weeks I had a check of $11,000 IN MY HAND. I was so impressed by A-Tex Home Inspection and had them re-inspect the roof after the replacement. Sure enough several sections were not sealed properly and my furnace's vent pipe was disconnected in the attic. I contacted the roofer and the inspector explained to them the necessary repairs needed. My advise: don't trust your insurance company or the roofer. Thank you Gunar! It was nice to work with an honest and true professional. read more

My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a new home in Leander. We received a recommendation for A-Tex from our realtor. His rates were a bit lower than some of the inspectors we found on our own, and he came highly recommend and had great reviews, so we decided to give him a shot. We could not be happier with the results. We scheduled online and received a very prompt reply from Gunar Lanzsch requesting a re-schedule, which we happily accommodated. He arrived promptly on the day of the inspection and proceeded to go over the property with a fine tooth comb. No stone was left unturned. He provided a *very* detailed report the next morning. The thoroughness and amount of detail may be perceived as "nitpicky" to some, but we loved it. Now, we know exactly what needs to be fixed immediately, and we have a list of minor cosmetic issues that we can address after move-in. We were also impressed that Gunar included foundation laser-leveling and temperature readings for the HVAC, services that some inspectors charge extra for. We also liked that he accepted online payments via PayPal. Overall, we were thrilled with the service and would recommend A-Tex and Gunar to anyone looking for a home inspection in the Austin area. read more

I had Gunar complete an inspection on a home that I'm purchasing. Overall, I would readily recommend him and will use him again. Pros 1) Very thorough and detail-oriented - To me, this is the most important quality of inspector 2) Excellent walk through after inspection - I could have just attended this and got all the details 3) Comprehensive report with issues categorized by priorities 4) Showed up on-time 5) Competitively priced Cons 1) Works best by himself - Since it was my first inspection I tagged along for all 3 hours. But Gunar prefers to work by himself so he can concentrate. Not a big deal once I saw how detailed he was at his work. 2) Recommend using layman's terms during walk-through - Many of the industry terms used during the in-person walk-through was over my head, like GFCI outlets. Recommend using layman description like the outlets with the test/reset buttons. This isn't a problem in the reports; with google it is easy to find the terms. read more

Gunar at A-Tex Home Inspection made getting my inspection on my first home a breeze! Not only was it easy to make an appointment, but unlike other inspectors I spoke to, he was happy to answer all of my questions and really helped calm my nerves about this overwhelmingly intimidating step in the home buying process. The day of the inspection, he showed up on time and spent about 3 hours poring over every single inch of the property. Afterward, he spent more than an hour walking me around and explaining all of his findings! Again, he was very patient in answering all of my questions and gave me tons of advice. His report, which I received the next morning, was very thorough and easy to understand. The best part is that he did it all for a great rate -- quite a bit less than several other quotes I received! Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend his service! read more

Gunar is an amazing and very well priced inspector. We are first time home buyers, with a bad Realtor, and mortgage broker, who have not explained anything to us. He was very kind and took the time to explain everything that was wrong with the house and tips on how we could fix it ourselves was very professional went over every inch of the house with us. It took about an hour and a half. We really appreciated his report as it was color coded, their were pictures, and explanations of what was wrong, so we could easily remember everything he told us. I know we definitely appreciated the respect we received from Gunar, as we are a lesbian couple. He was very professional and treated as regular people, buying a house. I would definitely recommend Gunar to everyone!! read more

Gunar inspected two houses for me in Austin. The first one was seemingly ideal but he found a major water leak that had never been detected by the sellers and many other problems, some minor, some major. I walked away from that contract and bid on another house two weeks later and, of course, wanted Gunar to be my inspector again. He is meticulous, professional, and no detail is too small to escape his notice. I will be moving into my new house later this month and I give A-Tex Home Inspection my highest recommendation! read more

I wish I had used A-Tex home inspection on my previous home. Gunar returned my inquiry immediately and was easy to work with.

His explanations were clear, concise, and helpful. His written report was easy to read and helped when arranging repairs. Can't find a single thing to complain about. First class inspection service at a reasonable cost. read more
