Emily inspected a condo for us and did a very thorough job. The inspection report had pictures and videos, and the inspection uncovered several issues that we are leveraging for this purchase. read more

We had an excellent experience with Final Analysis, from scheduling to receipt of our inspection. Their website makes it very clear what you are getting and what you are paying for, and includes add ons if needed for pools, detached buildings, fireplaces, etc. Very clear. They allow you to pick a time from a calendar, which was very convenient. Our inspector was on time, nice clean company truck, clean and easy to recognize uniform, and he did a very thorough job. Todd pointed things out to us while onsite, and documented everything with photos and videos. The online system also allows me to create a summary work order, by contractor type, with the comments and photos included. Will definitely use again! read more

Anthony at Final Analysis Property Inspections did a fantastic job. He was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain his findings and answer all of our questions. The report was detailed, easy to understand, and helped us make informed decisions during our home purchase. I highly recommend Final Analysis Property Inspections and would gladly use them again. read more

Super thorough and honest! So proud of the work that they did to help us avoid buying a lemon.

Easy and quick scheduling. Anthony was knowledgeable and friendly. Never thought I'd be one of these people but 'it was well worth it.'

I was buying my 5th home and this was my 5th home inspection. Emily was fantastic and thorough. She was great at explaining things and ensuring all my questions were answered. The reports were more technologically advanced than I had seen previously (includes videos) and I had just bought a home 3 years prior. This company/Emily will be my go-to in the future. Not to mention, so glad to have women represented in this field! read more

Emily was punctual, detail oriented and thorough. She found polybutylene piping owners were trying to hide. i have every confidence in their inspections and will use them again! read more

Quick response. Scheduled within that week. 3 techs came out and thoroughly inspected the commercial space. The report was delivered within hours of them letting me know they were done with the site. No hidden fees. Paid what I was quoted. Report was detailed and they went over it verbally with me. I'd use them again. read more

I hate that I need to update this review with anything less than 5 stars but unfortunately mistakes happen. While I still stand behind how thorough the inspection and report was that we recieved, unfortunately Final Analysis did fail to find a 3 inch sewage cleanout just inside our gate next to our house which resulted in them not being able to do the camera view of the main sewage line for our home. While I am sure for most this would not normally be issue, for us it was. Once my family moved into our home, about 3 weeks after closing, our entire sewage system ceased to work. The result was sewage backing into and overfilling the showers, sinks, and toilets on our first floor and a large sewage leak from the 3 inch clean out on the side of our home, covering our sidewalk and our yard. Upon removing the cleanout cap, even through the mess, a simple visual down the cleanout showed a large amount of tree roots that indicated the sewage main was compromised, no camera necessary. Even through all this, I truly was not worried. I had lucked out and found a reputable plumber in town who was thousands cheaper than the next (I found out after the fact) and was prepared to do the work quickly (came out the next day, Saturday, and said it would take 3 days to complete). I knew Dan and Final Analysis had a reputation to uphold and the reviews to back it up, not to mention their website guarenteeing their work. I understand mistakes happen, but when you choose a good company its the accountability after the fact that dinstinguishes them from the bad companies you didn't choose. I called Dan the day everything started happening and sent him pictures of the issues we found. He understood what was going on, the extent of the issue, and took ownership of the fact that the inspection missed the cleanout and how much trouble would have been avoided had it not been missed. He even told me that they would be there for us if we needed anything and if need be, financially. Over a few phone calls I expressed everything in this review to him as well as how the repairs would take 3 days to complete at a cost of $3000 once we recieved the estimate. I sent the estimate invoice as well as descriptions and photos of the work needing to be done and asked if he had any one he could recommend to get a quote from before starting the work. With no recommendations, we started the work with our plumber. After 4 days of having no useable plumbing in our home and only 1 day left until the plumbing was restored, I called Dan after sending an update of the work. We had to pay the plumber the next day and I asked him if Final Analysis would be able to help us with the bill, even mentioning that I didn't expect them to foot the entire bill, but surely something alogn the lines of half. He told me that it was a difficult situation, that Final Analysis was not technically liable because they never inspected the sewage line. He stated that even though they weren't obligated to, that he would be refunding our home inspection fee, approximately $500 and suggested I check if my home owners insurance would cover anything. (Unfortunately, they won't.) While I do appreciate Dan and the refund of our inspection (although yet to be recieved), we were left almost a week with no working plumbing in our home and a $3000 bill as a result of Final Analysis not finding the 3 inch cleanout next to our home. Not only was the cleanout on our sidewalk just inside our gate, but it was directly in the walkway in our backyard, not hidden or covered by any plants or trees, and it was also directly in line with the city cleanout on our driveway that was found on the day of the inspection. This was an unfortunate series of events and I hope it does not happen to anyone else. read more

See all

Like to give a huge shout out to Anthony Gilbar and Emilly Washington for such an amazing inspection and the written report to include detailed color photos and videos. The report was so detailed our contractor was able to also give us a detailed estimate for repairs. This team uncovered damages the home owner was trying to hide. They exposed the home owner and kept us from buying a money pit. Brings me back to the saying: You can put lip stick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Thank you again Final Analysis Property Inspections. read more

I used this company to conduct a home inspection when buying a duplex in Portsmouth. They did an excellent job! They were prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Because of the size and age of the home, they sent out 3 inspectors and were able to complete the job pretty quickly (within a couple of hours). They gave me a prelim oral report immediately after. I then received a more extensive report with pictures and videos later that day. Because of them, I felt more informed about the house and had a peace of mind about moving forward with buying the property. They even saved me some money on my home insurance. The property was listed as being built in 1811. They noticed that the materials were from the 1900s so the property could not be that old. As a result, my insurance company gave me a better deal. They did such a great job our real estate agent requested their business card. Cost was approximately $1000. read more

While in the process of buying my first home, I had the pleasure of having Emily Washington conduct the inspection of my prospective home. She was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. When it came time for her to go over her findings, her transparency and ability to explain things in layman's terms was greatly appreciated. I would recommend Emily and Final Analysis Home Inspections to anyone. read more

We absolutely loved the service! Emily was amazingly professional and thorough on her analysis on our house. Very very impressed with the entire process from beginning to the end. read more

When I called Final Analysis for a quote on my home inspection, the man who answered the phone (Who I assume was the owner) was polite and professional. He gave me a complete list of the services they provide. He said that he would assign the inspection to Anthony Gilbar, who he said was the best inspector that he has. The inspection was set for 9:00 AM but Anthony was at the house as early as 8:40 AM. He was polite and professional. He started by asking if there was anything about the house that we were particularly worried about so that he could look at it. We expressed some concerns, which were the first things he addressed when he gave us a verbal report after the inspection. The inspection took about 2 hours. It was a 3 bed 2 bath townhouse, there was no crawl space. The inspection cost $444. Anthony seemed to know what he was doing and was able to answer all my questions. He did not seem to mind me asking questions during the inspection either. Everyone I spoke to from the company was very personable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a home inspection in the area! read more

Very thorough and professional! We have used Final Analysis four times while purchasing a house. The first three times went very well. There were no surprises and the team was very transparent with everything the houses need. The one that stood out to me the most was the roof. They told us that the roof would need replacing as soon as possible. We did it and that was the end of that. When buying another rental, we went with another home inspection company at the recommendation of a coworker. The house was given a clean bill of health. Great! Except that nine months later, the tenant complained about a leak in the kitchen. I climbed the roof and was immediately alarmed by how soft the roof was. We called a roofer out there and he confirmed what we already knew. This particular patch of the roof was far too soft and needed replacing. Even more, he said that someone did a quick patch job in the last year and did it poorly. He asked if we had any idea. No. We didn't. So when we bought our current house, we were discussing which home inspection team to go with. It was simple. One could spot problems in a roof, the other could not. So we went with the one we should have stuck with in the first place: Final Analysis. And they did a great job. They were detailed and nothing came as a surprise. With a house, that's just the way I like it. read more

Emily at First Analysis was terrific. My home is fairly new and I've had it inspected 2 times prior to this by another inspector and Emily discovered major issues that the other inspector never found. She was prompt and went over every issue with me prior to her departure. The report was easy to follow with lots of pictures (much needed). I'd book them again in a heartbeat. read more

They were great. We highly recommend Jason. He did a super and thorough inspection. If you're looking for the best, and all the details, he's the man for the job! read more

Final Analysis came out with 3 guys and spent nearly 2 hours inspecting our new home. They were very thorough and double checked things that needed to be double checked. The inspection report was incredibly detailed. The inspectors were able to answer our very many 1st time home buyer questions and really knew their stuff. They also didn't make us feel silly for asking so many questions. Fantastic and well worth the money. read more

Today my new construction home was inspected by Zach. I am very pleased with the process and highly recommend this company. Zach was very professional, answered all of my questions and even took the time to explain how some things worked in the house. I received his very detailed inspection report within hours. I'm very thankful I found this company and I greatly appreciate their professionalism and excellent customer service. read more

Services provided on Sept 8: This is my second review using Final Analysis as they provided another home inspection and termite inspection for a different house that my wife and I wanted to purchase. The first inspection had helped us decide not to purchase that first house. Their team this time consisted of just Adam and Zach. Another great, detailed inspection and were there at their same professional punctuality, friendliness, and determination into finding any possible issue in every nook and cranny of the house. Since this was the second time using them, they waived the termite inspection cost. A great plus for my wife and I! After they completed the inspections, they again went over their very detailed findings and answered every question we had with such commitment. Final Analysis really does know their stuff! My wife and I had a conversation about this special company when we left. We had both agreed that when we do find our new "home", that we will still request their services every couple of years just to make sure everything is still intact. They will find and look for problems that may be invisible to the average "Joe". Just because a home inspection is a good idea before you purchase a house, doesn't really mean you shouldn't ever need one again for a good upkeep of your home. I can rant on and on about them in this second review of Final Analysis, but instead, here is a copy and paste from the first inspection dated 2 months ago. 1st review: Final Analysis came out with their team of Dan, Adam, and another gentleman (apologies that I forgot his name). Inspection was at 1pm and I arrived 15 minutes early to find out they were already there; very punctual of them. We introduced ourselves, went into the house, and they went straight to work. They had telescoping ladders, water temperature and flow gauges, thermal heat gauge (FLIR), moisture gauges... and probably even more that I didn't see them use. During the inspection, anything that my wife and I had questions about were answered right away. Not the 'let me look into that' type of answer from an unprofessional. After the inspection, they'd talk to us and would show us areas of concern. Not something that they needed to do, but that's something Final Analysis does as a professional courtesy. And of course, they would tell us the 'red flags' of the home. A quote from the owner, Dan, which left me in awe and in full piece of mind that I chose the right home inspector, "Just because the inspection is done doesn't mean you can't call us for any other questions." Two to 3 hours later, we received a full detailed inspection of the entire house including pictures of those red flag items I have mentioned earlier AND the areas of concern that would be needed for future maintenance. It also would show images of how things should look if the things found in the home weren't up to par. The following day, I did speak with Dan and we had a hefty conversation on the items of my personal concern. He even let me know how much effort and expense would be needed if I were to choose to do some of the tasks on my own. So to fast forward to the 3rd day, which is today, 7/8/2017, I had spoke to my agent from what I told him yesterday on what the seller should offer after seeing the detailed report. I was told that the seller's agent wouldn't oblige to some of the things i wanted changed because in her 30+ years of being an agent, she never saw such a detailed report and was actually repulsed by it. GO FIGURE! I think her 30 years of experience working with an inspector is because she used her own in-house referral to help with her sales. That's my true honest opinion. Oh, and she works with RE/MAX by the way. I ended up signing the release agreement to get out of the contract and that detailed report sure did help me with my decision. So would I recommend Final Analysis? Yes. Would I use them again? Indefinitely! read more

Excellent inspection by Chris. He was punctual, safe, and professional. Chris asked for specific areas of concerns which for us was the a/c. Chris was extremely thorough and took his time to explain our new home to me (which the builder should have done). He got the gas turned in to our fire place and showed me how to light it. Chris discovered that our home was missing dampers in the HVAC system. The builder had told us we had two separate zones but the HVAC guy had not installed dampers. With Chris' help I was able to hold the builder and his sub accountable and get this costly repair done. The HVAC guy admitted that he never installed it and blamed it on Covid. We learned that our a/c unit was too small for the size of our home. I'm so glad we hired this company and wished we had done it before closing. Lesson learned: don't skip the home inspection in new construction!!!! read more

Thank you thank you and thank you again. You found all the little issues and big ones that I would have never noticed. I am sure a different inspection guy would not have found any of the problems you pointed out today. Thank you again. read more

Dan and Adam were extremely thorough inspecting the home we hope to purchase. The HomeGauge program Final Analysis uses to record their findings is very easy to read and use. I would refer you to Nacian S. review as I agree with everything he said. They are a fantastic company to work with for a Home Inspection. read more

Anthony and Brit recently completed a home inspection on a potential new home for me and my wife Chaya. As a field service repair technician myself, I look for the same quality level of work that I provide to my customers. I was very impressed with how knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful and professional the Inspectors were. They found everything I found on my initial inspection, plus a great deal more that I had overlooked or simply would not have known to look for at all. Anthony was patient with my questions and explained his findings during the briefing in an articulate manner. The attention to detail and personal care given by theses Inspectors are second to none and should be the new industry standard. This is our second time using their services and we will continue to utilize this great resource in our future real estate endeavors. Thanks, from the Felician family, for a job well done. read more

My wife and I are from out of the area. When researching home inspectors in the Tidewater, one company consistently had outstanding reviews, and more of them than any other inspection business. After hiring them and being present throughout the process it was easy to see why. When Dan first called me to confirm our appointment, he made it a point to go through what they were going to be looking at in detail. It was a shock when he told me that it would probably take between *three and four hours*! I'd been through satisfactory home inspections before where the inspector was barely there for an hour. Now, this was an older (1950) home, and it had plenty of the issues you'd expect from a building of that era. Zach, our inspector, is a young, serious guy who was completely thorough and professional from the moment he arrived. Obviously Dan is careful about who he hires. Zach got right to work, knew exactly what he was looking at - and looking for - and although we didn't want to disturb him much as he went about his job, when we did have a question, he stopped and answered us with as thorough an explanation as we wanted, before continuing. From the peak of the roof to the tiny crawl space under the house, he went over every inch, and examined every system in detail, taking pictures and looking for problems, explaining to me what he was finding as I followed him around. (I let him do most of the crawling around underneath the home, but I did accompany him as far in as I dared, watching him examine every square foot, crawling under ductwork, wiping away cobwebs and narrating all the way. As far as I'm concerned, that little escapade more than earned him his money.) Just over three hours later, he was finished. But then he spent an *additional* forty minutes or so with my wife and I at a local coffee shop giving us a step-by-step summary of what he'd found and answering all of our questions. The final report was more than *60* pages long, with photos of every issue he found, categorized by order of importance. Although there were no major surprises, there were some issues Zach discovered that we're really glad we're aware of. No matter what our final buying decision is, we're completely confident that, thanks to Final Analysis Home Inspections, we really know this house. read more

By far the most professional service I've ever encountered. I needed both a home, moisture and termite inspection and could not ignore the solid 5 star reviews that Final Analysis had received. Kevin Pappas was our home inspector. He was professional, prompt and on time. He wore booties in the house, was exceptionally thorough and his reports were so detailed that they put medical records to shame. Yes, that detailed. The inspection took around 2 hours and we received the report a couple hours later. Highly recommend this company and would definitely request Kevin for any future inspections. This company has seriously set the bar high for how all businesses should be operating. Excellent experience. read more

Just had a home inspection with Final Analysis, and came away highly impressed. They were thorough, professional, and very easy to talk to. They arrived early, and were very prompt throughout the process. They didn't rush, but were efficient in how they moved through the home. After they finished their walk through, I got a verbal summary from Adam on his findings in the home. He also answered questions I had about a few things. They obviously know what they are doing, and have really good experience with the types of homes around here. They were also very quick to follow up with a really nice online report that you can view or print (or send to family, etc). It included pictures of the home and certain things they saw, along with tips and diagrams on repairs or best practices - things like that. Its a really good resource to have as a new homeowner. It also includes things like serial numbers and make/age of the AC, furnace etc. This has been our first home buying experience, and I was really impressed with them. Definitely well worth the investment. We will have no hesitation to recommend them to family and friends, and will use them again in the future. read more

Final Analysis did a full home inspection and when I say full, I mean FULL! I cannot thank Dan Rogers and his team enough for their fantastic home inspection. They were incredibly professional. They were right on time, even getting there before us. The quality of home inspection we got for the price was far better than any competitor in the area and we are so happy to have found them. They have fantastic reviews online, which is why we hired them, and they certainly lived up to them. My husband is very detail oriented and they caught things that even he missed; we were both incredibly impressed. The home inspection report was provided to us within only a few hours after performing the home inspection. The full inspection report was 40 pages long! It included pictures and even videos of almost everything. They also included things in the report for our own information, which as first time homebuyers, I know will come in handy in the future in terms of understanding how things work. Their report was easy to understand, even for a first time homebuyer like myself. The whole team was also very efficient. Dan showed up with two other employees so the whole home inspection was done within an hour and a half. They worked fast and efficient and we are so impressed by the whole team. Dan also took the time to show us certain things that he found troublesome and also explained how certain things work and what we want to look for in the future. We cannot thank Dan Rogers and his Final Analysis team enough. Many thanks for a job well done! Update: We asked the seller to do almost everything that Dan pointed out on the home inspection and they agreed! Without Dan's expertise and knowledge, we could and would have missed out on a lot of extra work that we would eventually have had to deal with. Thanks again Dan! read more

I'm gonna give it five stars based on the reviews although I don't have a home yet but it's in the process of getting built with Ryan Homes! They appear to be a quality builder but I will indeed have my home inspected before move in day for assurance and piece of mind! And will be contacting this company for my inspection! read more

Adam was awesome! He took his time going through the house and finding problems Smith and Keene technicians kept telling us were not there. We had the HVAC tech come out 5 times and kept telling us that nothing was wrong, but Adam found out there are numerous issues with our whole HVAC system, not just the air conditioner. He answered all of our questions and made us feel like we did make a good choice in picking our current home. If I ever need a home inspected in the area in the future I'll be sure to go back to Final Analysis! I would highly recommend using them!! read more

Zach was easy to work with and very thorough. We definitely recommend.

My husband and I are in the process of buying a home and we came across all of the reviews for Final Analysis while searching for a home inspector. We decided to give them a try and I'm really happy we did! Dan was very courteous both over the phone and in person, and didn't mind when I bugged him with extra phone calls for questions that came up before our scheduled appointment. I was able to book the appointment for two days out as well, which was perfect. My husband and I arrived early the day of, and Adam and Chris were already there starting the inspection. They were incredibly polite and thorough through the whole process and took the time to explain every little thing they'd come across so far. Dan was able to stop by as well for a bit and also shared some insights while we walked the property. Overall I believe the appointment took about two hours total. After they were finished, Adam gave a very detailed summary of what they'd come across in the house, and we had our completed report from them in just a few hours. Final Analysis's level of customer service was top notch as well as their expertise, and we will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know! :) read more

Detailed, professional and very informative. Love the reporting speed (same day) and the report formatting (lots of pictures) and details. Report was very user friendly and fairly easy to understand from by a housing/construction novice. It was also very easy to schedule an appointment. They answered all of our questions when we initially contacted them. Friendly and helpful, this initial contact by phone was central to us making the decision to go worth Final Analysis Home Inspection. Great work. read more

Final Analysis was worth every penny and then some. Dan, Anthony, and Emily were thorough and provided photos/video of every area they inspected. When they found structural issues (literally almost buried under the house) it saved us potentially years of heartache and six figures in repairs. They gave us a preview of the report on-site, and had the report to us by that evening. Timing is critical when your inspection contingency is about to expire. After the inspection they were readily available for follow up questions. We're still looking for a place and we will 100% use them once we put in an offer on another house. read more

Dan and Anthony conducted the most thorough and informative home inspection anyone could want, clearly the best we've ever had - providing the assurance that anyone wants as they head to closing on a home purchase. As new arrivals to the area, we looked for a highly regarded inspection team we could rely on for an accurate assessment of the house and it's near-term needs. My half-hour conversation with Dan before booking the service led to high expectations, which they clearly surpassed. Supplementing the narrative with numerous photos and videos, the product is absolutely state-of-the-art. Their independence and Dan's 30-year experience lend confidence to the results. As the results from nearly 400 ratings show, our experience is pretty much what you can expect from Final Analysis. read more

Awesome guys came out i was closing on the 30th but they brought things to light that the seller didn't fix.Im glad i spent the money in a second inspection. First inspection the guys got on the roof and checked it out and now the house were buying has a new room. They work as a team checking you ur home out and get your report to you by close of business. I felt like I knew the guys for a long time. Thats the type of service they provide to the buyer. read more

Dan at Final Analysis is just the greatest! We used him twice in our home buying journey and we are so happy we did. The first home we were looking at was an 1880 farm house so Dan brought Adam and another young man ( sorry I forgot his name!). After 4 hours they were ready to show us some of the results they found. Any discrepancy was photographed or videoed for us. They were also done in an urgent, do soon, and keep an eye on list so we knew what needed to be looked after. The report for that property was 128 pages long. Well needless to say, after getting a contractor to come out to look at the discrepancies that needed to be done we chose to pass on that house. The next home we hired Dan and the team to look at was a four bedroom ranch 2700 sq ft home with an attached and unattached garage. We figured they would be in and out with such a small property. Nope, just as long and just as much attention to detail. Photos, video, this time just a 27 page report though! It was a great experience and if we know of any friends that are buying a house in this area we always recommend Final Analysis Thanks to Dan and the crew for a great experience, twice! read more

Working with this company was a great experience! Every communication was friendly and professional. I showed up at the appointed time and Anthony was already on the roof working on the inspection! He was fast but thorough. He explained everything in detail before he left and the inspection document was fantastic. All pics and information were clear. Without any hesitation I would recommend Anthony and this company. read more

Highly recommended. We were looking at a house that needed quite a bit of work. Made an appointment with Dan. He arrived promptly, did a thorough inspection, we talked about several important areas and we were done in a couple of hours with the help of his assistant, Adam. Very happy. read more

A great experience. Buying a home is fun yet very stressful. Zach did a very thorough inspection. I felt very confident with his findings. Thank you. read more
