Had a fantastic experience with Applebach home inspections! They were so thorough and I felt comforted knowing I could trust their work. Truly amazed by their operations read more

Josh was thorough, knowledgeable, and informative. I would absolutely use him again for our home inspection!

My agent chose Scott as our home inspector, and he was awesome! Not only did Scott shed light on issues/potential issues, he also suggested ways on how to address. Scott was very knowledgable in every aspect he covered. Along with outstanding customer service, the faulty of the report Scott generated is very user friendly and makes it easy to break the report into sections. I found this to be very helpful. As for price, the value is fair. Scott was at my future home for almost four hours, three of which he spent listening to my questions and helping me deeply understand his explanations. Overall, I highly recommend Applebach Home Inspections for home inspections. Thank you! read more

Scott hands down is the best home inspector we've ever had the pleasure to work with. He is reliable, accurate, honest, detailed, and prompt. We have worked with a handful of other companies and Scott at Applebach blows his competition out of the water. Thank you Scott for a very detailed, fair, and reasonably priced inspection of our home. We'll be customers as long as you're in the business! read more

Learned a lot about my new house. Appreciate the help on ensuring my house is in tip top shape

Great service, great company, great communication. Honest inspections, clear guidance and education. Amazing experience. I've worked with dozens of inspections being in real estate myself & the Applebach team is phenomenal! read more

Scott was wonderful. We needed to let the builder know of all the issues that needed attention before the warranty was up. He went through the house top to bottom. He was able to put together a complete report with pictures that we could send to the builder. He showed us things I would have missed if we tried to do it on our own. I highly recommend Scott. read more

Scott was fantastic. Showed up on time, and did a very thorough job. Very detailed in his pictures and notes. Also did a great job explaining why he made the notes that he did. He was able to produce a nearly 40 page report with detailed notes and pictures the same day. Would definitely recommend for a new home warranty inspection. read more

Thank you to Scott for performing a thorough inspection for our 1yr new home warranty. Without his attention to detail, we would have never known about things the builder missed. His inspection has saved us financially. He was professional and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend him in the future. Thank you Scott!!' read more

Scott and his team are incredible. We were really happy with the thoroughness and detail of his inspection. His PDF final report included hundreds of images and embedded videos. We also received aerial drone images of our roof! Overall the report was easy to understand and very detailed. He found things that we wouldn't have even considered like our insulation depth which ended up saving us hundreds on our heating and cooling costs. When he arrived he was professional, friendly, and courteous, and our family was impressed with how he took the time to personally walk through each item and even gave us insight and advice on how to remedy issues. We have since used this company for multiple inspections and wouldn't trust anyone else as we have always received excellent service, prompt appointments, and same day reports. Scott is the best in the business! read more

Scott is knowledgeable and thorough and explains things so clearly. I've used him several times and am always pleased with the results. 10/10 recommend! read more

I can't recommend Scott and the Applebach team enough. He was incredibly thorough for our 10-month new home build inspection and reviewed every inch of our house to ensure everything was noted in his report. He took his time to document all of his findings and is very knowledgeable about the homes in the East Valley area. Scheduling was a breeze, his pricing was very reasonable, and he had the report to us the same day. read more

Scott has done all 3 inspections for our new home build. He is always professional, helpful, and very detail oriented. We hired Scott to do our framing inspection, final build inspection, and our one year warranty inspection. All were performed timely, and included a comprehensive report with pictures, and highlights of the finest detail. The industry knows Scott and his excellent work. Highly recommend Applebach Home Inspections! read more

Scott was such a gift during our home buying process. To start, he was so nice and down to earth. He demonstrated his expertise, but also used layman's terms to help us understand certain things. He was thorough and gave recommendations for which repairs were needed immediately, and which ones could be delayed. Having a historic home, we needed someone who had lots of experience and knowledge to tackle the unique challenges that come with older homes. I am so thankful we hired Scott and would recommend him to everyone! read more

Scott inspected our new home in November giving it very minimal concerns. Even went as far as saying it was "pristine" on several occasions. While he pointed out several trivial items, he missed some huge items. If Scott has identified any of these items we would have made a different decision. Right after we moved in the heat and AC didn't work in part of the home, the roof started leaking, and my kids fell very ill. Their doctor did bloodwork and identified heightened mold. After I came home from the doctor I found the problem areas pretty easily within minutes in both their bedrooms behind the dry wall that was buckling from the raised planters. When a remediation company came we found black mold was infested in both their bedrooms and in another room we use as an office. We had to completely gut the office, spent thousands upon thousands to seal the problem areas and rip out the dry walls in the kids rooms. He mentioned the planters were not code in his report but neglected to complete the job, but gave the inside walls a passed inspection review. After spending thousands on the remediation not to mention our whole family falling ill from this, we reached out for remediation efforts. Instead of sympathy, compassion, or a desire to help solve and understand he pointed a lot of fingers. Apparently when trying to solve the serious health issue with our family and remediation significant damage our top priority should have been informing him within 3 days of any concerns. After the first unpleasant experience trying to remediate with Scott, we had 3 separate bathroom plumbing incidents (also lead to subsequent mold). I informed him within 3 days to make sure we complied with the unreasonable timelines he proceeded to contact every contractor involved (without us being on the call) to try to find a way to weasel his way out of any responsibility. They all let us know exactly how the conversation went and stressed this was pre-existing. However Scott decided to declare the case was closed with no further action. For such a significant purchase with your family well being on the line I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Awful awful service and even less professional accountability. We have filed claims with all appropriate agencies to try to make sure this won't happen to another family. read more

We were recommended Scott to inspect our brand new build by other home owners in our new neighborhood. We were very impressed with Scott's professionalism and attention to detail. His website was extremely easy to use for scheduling appointments too. He was on time and his inspection surpassed what we expected. He meticulously walked each room, checked every little nook and cranny, and found several issues we would have missed due to lack of knowledge. I also liked that Scott used a drone to photograph our roof which allowed him to really "see" what was going on instead of a ladder perspective. Scotts personality also lends to what a great business man he is. He is calm and patient and didn't rush me when I had questions. And lastly, Scott's inspection report was top notch. Details were highlighted with photos to show what he found which made it was lengthy and concise. If you need a building inspector this is your man. Thank you Scott we really appreciate your expertise and we will be moving into our new home with reassurance it has been inspected correctly. read more

Such a great experience using Scott Applebach's Home Inspection services! My husband and I are purchasing our first home and know very little about the home buying and inspection process - let alone about a house and it's construction and Scott was able to offer guidance in so many useful ways! Not only did he offer a comprehensive walk though explination (that even we could understand) but also valuable real estate advice in the home buying process. Thanks again Scott for your help today and we recommend his services for any home inspection needs! read more

I am very green when it comes to buying a house. Scott made the inspection process very easy to understand. He took the time to show photos and gave great advice on how to fix a couple things. Very fast on response times. Thank you for all your help and I will recommend to all my friends and family! Great service 10/10!! read more

Scott inspected our new build home and was very thorough in his findings. Even after we did a nearly 4 hour walk with the builder he was able to find many additional items that needed repairs prior to our closing. Scott has a FLIR camera and located about 5 areas in the walls/ceilings that were not properly insulated....very important in AZ. We also liked that he found some issues with the A/C cooling in our zones which we are able to make sure the seller fixes before we move in. Thank you Scott for your work. read more

Scott did our 1 year new home warranty inspection. He was incredibly thorough, kind, and professional. He found flaws in our home we have never noticed. The money paid Scott has already paid for itself by notifying us of two of the items the builder needs to repair. We found Scott through our neighbor who had just as wonderful of an experience as we did. If I ever needed something like this again I will most definitely use Scott. His explanation and follow-up were top notch. I love receiving the PDF of everything he reviewed with us. read more

Please think twice before using this company. Aside from his lack of knowledge in many areas of his business Scott is completely unprofessional. He littered his business cards all over my home. Instead of just taking pictures of the areas he noted on his report and leaving my home as he entered it he jammed his business card all over my attic and roof. When I asked him clean the mess he created and retrieve his cards he refused. I had a licensed roofer, who has been in the business for 40 years, look at the roof and his assessment and he was blown away by his lack of knowledge and couldn't believe he littered his business cards everywhere. There are tons of great home inspectors in the valley...I would suggest using anyone other than Applebach read more

Scott has done many inspection for myself and for clients of mine. He is very knowledgeable, communicates very well and provides very clear descriptions of issues that may be present. I highly recommend his services! read more

Upon advice from my friend/realtor, I used Scott (and Chase) for two new build inspections, pre-drywall and final before purchase. They do great work, are very detailed and thorough, and explain everything/answer questions. They even took the time to answer questions days after the fact regarding the builder's fix of an issue that didn't look quite right to me. I would recommend. read more

Scott is so thorough in his inspections. He truly goes above and beyond. We were grateful for the accurate report and the time he took to explain his findings. He was timely, professional and very knowledgable. read more

It's our first home purchase and we were nervous, but the inspection was an amazing experience he was a great easy Going guy and was very Thorough and didn't miss anything he explained with pictures and explained in detail to where we truly understand, do yourself a favor and definitely don't look any where else. Trust him with my home purchase! read more

My parents are in the process of purchasing a house. Our agent recommended Applebach Home Inspection. When we arrived at our scheduled time, the inspection was complete. We were walked through the entire interior and exterior of the home and each item that was noted on the report was discussed. It was comprehensive and thorough. When the inspection was complete, the entire report was emailed to us. We were given many payment options, such as Venmo, Square Cash, and credit card for payment. I would readily recommend this home inspection company to anyone looking to purchase a home that wants the piece of mind that comes along with having a qualified professional inspection. Five stars!!! read more

Pre-closing inspection. Another buyer in our neighborhood recommended using Applebach Home Inspectors. Extremely glad we called them. Scott was extremely professional and thorough. Upon completion of the inspection, Scott showed me, and explained each item he was going to list in his report to ensure I knew why he was listing it. His written report was in my email later that day. Scott did a great job and I would highly recommend his services to any interested party. read more

Was hired by the buyers to inspect my home. Knocked a bunch of dust and insulation out of the attic and just left it or tracked it around the rest of the house. Left lights on in the house when they left. Kicked over the dog food dish and didn't bother cleaning any of it up at all. Changed the pool pump from running the schedule to not come on at all. I can't speak to their inspection abilities, but they seem to give no respect to the homeowners of houses they inspect. read more

Scott is amazing! We purchased a home in the North Valley last year, and Scott did an amazing job making sure we caught any defects and issues before closing. He caught a bunch of items we weren't even paying attention to, and we've had new builds before. I was very pleased with Scott's professionalism, and he was extremely helpful and courteous. Thanks a ton Scott! This was a big investment for us, and you insured we got the max value out of our new build! read more
