I highly recommend Emerald Coast Inspection Services. I recently (8/2020) used Emerald Coast…read moreInspection Services for my pre-purchase home inspection. This was the most thorough home inspection I have read. Not only did it cover the traditional home inspection elements with written and photographic descriptions, but Mr. Sanderson details and photographs interior and exterior abnormalities that nearly rival a construction punch list! We paid the average rate for home inspections ($400-$500 for medium sized home) and he spent over 7 hours at the house. The home inspection report was submitted to me within 1 business day after completion of the inspection. His observations were succinct and he offered reasonable solutions without giving undue prejudice to areas of concern. I found that he was consistent throughout his report and neither embellished nor diminished findings which gave strength to the overall integrity of the inspection report. Since I live out of the area of the home, all communication with Emerald Coast Inspection Services was via electronic signatures, emails, telephone and through real estate agent. I would higher Emerald Coast Inspection Services again.

Titan conducted an inspection for the seller of the home I was interested in purchasing. Titan said…read morehome was in good shape, furnace was 0k and roof nearing end of life expectancy. Per report, roof was still OK, not needing new roof immediately. Titan never got onto roof, only used a drone. Thankfully, I got my own inspection with a different company before deciding to purchase home. My inspector, who did get on roof, discovered extensive damage to roof to include water leaking into attic in several places. This inspector noted that roof needs replacement immediately. This damage was never listed on Titan report. Also, furnace was not Ok. It had not been inspected for 2 years and needed to be replaced. In addition, Titan report never mentioned water under house and some repairs needed there. While Titan used pictures and report looked good, I would have bought a house that needed thousands of dollars in repairs had I relied on their report.

My experience with Allen Canzler and CheckPoint Home Inspections was difficult and unpleasant…read more While he promptly charged up front for the inspection and did show up on time for the inspection on a Friday, the inspection report that was promised within 24 hours was not delivered until the following Wednesday. Attempts to contact him for an update were not successful. He did not respond to calls, texts or email. When we did finally speak he was rude and verbally abusive. He did not want to answer questions and was not forthcoming about circumstances that delayed his ability to complete the inspection and provide photos. Allen was angry, rude and defensive when questioned about the status of the work and when a report would be issued. I was fortunate to work with a great real estate agent who was able to mediate and facilitate having Allen complete the inspection. The final report was adequate but not great. Based on this experience I caution someone in need of a home inspection to avoid this inspector.

Home inspections are so important and can be stressful for sure…read more We don't know what we don't know when buying a home, so having someone who can help point out any issues and concerns is crucial. Having someone who can do so with meticulous detail, while being able to explain the findings in an easy to understand way is a gift. Having that person also be able to add a good sense of humor to it all is a blessing and having them also be able to highlight what is wonderful is just the cherry on the cake. Allen is that person. Not only did he and his assistant do all the above but also went above and beyond before, during and after the inspection to make sure we were comfortable with the process and results and answer our many questions. A top notch home inspector. Thank you.

They did a decent job on the interior and exterior highlighting all the potential issues and issues but fell short on the inspection of the crawl space. The gentleman poked his head in and took a few photos and just said the access was to small but it appeared to be good in their. And the supports looked good. He wouldn't crawl in because the entrance was about 12inches and "the standard is 18"). On the exterior there are pretty decent cracks on majority of all the crawl space vents that surround the perimeter of the house. MY NUMBER 1 concern with the house were the cracks in the foundation and they couldn't crawl under.... When it comes to inspections of homes the inspector should be capable of crawling under no matter how bad it might be. I paid full price for what I feel was a 70pct job. Now that I'm getting quotes of up to 6k for someone to put in support beams and post because all of the support underneath is failed I feel that is unacceptable and should have been confirmed and made aware of at the time of my inspection. 2 people have crawled under there since with zero issues. Albeit the entrance is small but it opens up! The tenacity was good at first and I don't want this to be a bash fest! I hope for future inspections they take the time to evaluate the property in full and prevent situations like this.
