I had to reschedule due to my lender delay in approval -- rescheduled without issue. I was really impressed with the man who inspected - Darryl. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything he inspected and took pics of everything. Very thorough and opened every window, every faucet etc etc. a solid inspection. My only concern - I wanted someone to walk the roofline to ensure no soft spots as home built in 2004 with new roof in 2020. However with the angle etc it was more feasible/safer to use a drone. Pics from drone were good. No complaints at all - would definitely hire them again! Price was compatible with others in the area. read more

They did an outstanding job. Very through. Use of drone to check roof. Keep inspector safe. Found things I missed. Highly recommend. Priced was well worth it. read more

My relator attended the inspection as we live out of town. The inspection was on a new build and Ellis caught 80% of things we never would have noticed in a final walk through. My daughter had used Ellis for her home inspection and intensely encouraged me to get a home inspection even though it is a brand new home. Boy was she right. Ellis caught things with plugs not working amongst issues with brand new appliances. My advice if you are buying a home: contact Ellis. The few dinners you skip to pay for the inspection will save you lots of dollars and headaches after you move into your new home. read more

Phil was prompt, thorough, & efficient. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great turnaround time on the report.

Ellis Inspection Services was recommended by a friend. The service scheduler was pleasant and attentive to our request. An appointment was quickly arranged. Phil Long performed the home inspection and was all around excellent. He actively listened to the information we had to share. Phil informed us of what he would be doing, and how long to expect the service to take. His inspection was thorough and he provided the report on the same day. He was both personable and professional. He reviewed the details of the inspection and what he found. Additionally he answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend Ellis Inspection Services and in particular Phil Long. read more

Too many things were missed. Some were of substantial importance and expense. When we complained about some of them, they did not accept responsibility. This occurred very soon after we took ownership. Then more defects appeared shortly after that. We did not even bother to complain again. read more

I purchased a condo, closed on 4-1-23, that was inspected by Richard at this company. Since owning my new property, ive had to replace almost all of my major appliances with the exception of the range. I have had my AC go out twice and the warranty company is refusing to replace it. I have owned this property only 6 mos and have included pictures of the condensing unit. Not sure how this "expert" felt that the coils were of cooling capacity. Very dissatisfied with the ineptness of his findings in his report. Buyer beware. read more

Buying a home for primary residence and needing a thorough home inspection sooner not later. Ellis Inspection Service had two inspectors at the house the same week I called. The inspectors were courteous and asked about my concerns on the property before diving into the task. As we watched them proceed often tagging along I grew more and more confident that issues needing repair would be uncovered. The results were well documented and somehow the 75 pages of reports was provided late that same day including specialty reports for 4 -Point inspection and Wind Mitigation. I recommend this crew and will call them first my next purchase. read more
