Mr. Fry provided me with a great service. He was very thorough and to the point. When I called him for a quote he invited me to come and be involved with the inspection so that I could gain some knowledge about the house I am buying (something none of the other 4 inspectors recommend when I called them for quotes). I knew I would get a report, but having a professional extend an invite to help me learn hands on about the home I'm going to buy goes a long way in my book. We took the better part of 2 hours going over every inch of the inside, outside, and attic of that house. He's polite, personable, and respectful. This service was affordable in comparison to the other quotes, but after the amazing costumer service I received... I'd say he's one steal of a deal. read more

Bob is a great home inspector we just had him do a home that we were purchasing. His service was great quality work was awesome. The value is very fair would definitely recommend him. read more

Bob is obviously a professional and experienced home inspector. He responded fast on Yelp and very committed to his work. I was about to get the report in a timely matter and the report is well done. He provided pictures of everything that he recommended for us to take care of, no matter big or small. He is also a nice gentleman and answer all the questions we had. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family, and others who needs home inspection around the area. read more

Bob helped us with an inspection on a 100 year old Heights home. He was easy to work with, very responsive, and provided a lot of insight on the home. He provided a detailed report within 24 hours. We would definitely use him again! read more

We choose this vendor based on other positive reviews. The service we received wasn't 5 stars. It took many emails to gain a solid quote, instructions for payment and what services to expect. I had to ask if termite inspection was included, how entrance would be achieved and what method of payments were accepted. Versus having a quote spelling it out. He originally confirmed 10am on the 7th and then on the 8th informed the inspection needed to be moved later in the day. Luckily the day was not an in the office day so I had flexibility. He said the sprinklers were in operating order - yet the scheduler was not plugged in and doesn't even work. We later manually turned on the sprinklers to find a sprinkler leak. He didn't mention anything about the 3 to 4 dead trees in the yard (extra $1100 in cost we are not able to negotiate seller about as a result of this data missing from the report) His report said the fireplace and bathtub were not operating when inspected - when in reality they did work but he just didn't explore remotes and all room switches. As a result of the faulty inspection report the seller shutdown the negotiation process. He failed to mention that the fence was rusted through in multiple areas. (One quote so far is $9000.00 to replace). On the 10th he asked for my email address but I sent all that data to through Yelp to him on the 6th. His report listed that grading and drainage "Functioning as intended" but that is farthest from the truth. My husband said he didn't use any level or other tools to assess the ground slope for drainage and now we need to bring in one dump truck of topsoil to reslope backyard so all the pooling areas will properly drain (Extra $600 plus labor that we can't negotiate with seller anymore on). He missed the fact that all windows needed to be recaulked - all windows caulking that was crumbling and pulled away from around the frames (this project cost 10 bottles of caulk $70 bucks, plus one full day to cut out old caulk for 2 people and one 6 hour day to reapply. (A $550 value that we lost in negotiating with seller about). I agree with Jenna R's review in the fact that he is fast - but I'd rather have thorough than fast. He said he was swamped because of the volume of home sales. I should have pulled the plug when he said this but I didn't think the committed it would mean our report would be lacking critical data. I hope this review revises his work ethics to once again become 5 star worthy because an inspection report is very important when contemplating buying a home. read more

Bob Fry was very responsive and thorough during our home inspection. As first time home buyers, he left us with a string sense of confidence in his assessment...what needed immediate attention, what could wait, what's normal, what's excessive, etc. we actually completed our inspection in Jan so I'm a little late getting my review in, but I felt I had to send an extra special thanks to Bob due to our homes stability during the wild winter storm in Houston last week. Everything held up great just like Bob said it would!! read more

We were looking for an inspector for our new build and used the yelp quote search, Mr Fry was the first person to respond. After talking to several other inspectors we decided to go with Mr Fry because of the great price, prompt responses and amazing yelp reviews. No other inspector had such a high star rating with as many reviews as Mr. fry so our choice was easy. We scheduled our new build inspection a month in advance and unfortunately our builder didn't have the house ready when they said they would. There really isn't a point to send an inspector if he can't fully inspect the house, so with very short notice we asked Mr Fry if he could possibly reschedule to when the builder was done and he graciously agreed. This made the report turn around time EXTREMELY tight as we had our initial walk the next morning. Mr Fry made sure to get us the report even earlier than we needed it which we really appreciate because he didn't have to do that. The report is very detailed and even includes pictures that we can reference once we go to our walk. We are extremely satisfied and will be recommending him to anyone who needs an inspector. His outstanding Yelp reviews are what helped us choose him so we wanted to make sure to add our own so that any future homeowners can read ours and also make the right choice picking him as their inspector! read more

My Fiancee and I used Bob February 25th for the inspection of our new home purchase. He was great to work with from start to finish. He met us at the home where we were greeted with a smile and introductions before moving into the fun stuff. He didn't mind at all, us kind've tagging along as he explained his methods/findings. The very next day we had a detailed inspection with clear digital pictures attached in lieu of summarized findings. I will definitely recommend Mr. Fry to anyone in search for an inspection in the Houston area. Thank you again for your time Bob, great job !!! read more

I'm a first time home buyer and needed at 3rd party inspection. I contacted Bob based on the reviews. All the wonderful reviews were all true about him and his business! He is a very nice man. He helped me feel better about buying. Broke down what is needed, when it's needed and about how much it will cost. I feel like a confident home buyer now thanks to Bob. He was truly a blessing. read more

He was very quick, very through and so friendly. We will recommend him for anyone needing an inspection and will definitely use him again in the future! ETA: while he was very friendly and quick, we are two months in to the home (2 weeks moved in) and not only is our whole A/C unit broken (and been broken apparently), there's tons of places around the house that the floor is caving/slanting in. Realizing our very short inspection may be from lack of through-ness, rather than us thinking the house was just that great. ETA #2 as I have a moment to sit down when I didn't with the last update and I have been contacted by the owner over message and now replying to my comment. I'm sorry to hear about business not being great, but the inspection was not long. Actually you left before our realtor had even been able to arrive. Our mistake being first time home buyers and to go with cheaper, which doesn't always mean better. We had a second inspection done which ended up costing so much money in home repairs that was not found in our inspection before we purchased the home. Lots of cracked dry wall, subfloor needing to be replaced in the room I mentioned had uneven flooring, many door frames cracked, the roof needing to be fixed by our front door etc. with our a/c, it's not that it went out. It's a zoning system with five zones, after 2 months of a/c bills of $500 and not being here full time, we figured out that 3 out of 5 zones are trashed. Very visibly as I followed HVAC up and saw my self. So while we had a/c and it did cool the home, it was working 10x harder to do so. I do appreciate how nice he was. I have a two year old and unfortunately trying to look after her means I rely on the inspector to do the job correctly and be through, not rely on my self to walk behind him and double check the work. My boyfriend was here as well, but had no idea what he was looking for. Over all, it was a bad experience and I hope this was a learning point to take a lot more time on inspections so people don't waste their money. I wish you the best of luck with your business. read more

I requested a quote from the Yelp app, he replied in minutes and since I was happy with price and availability, I scheduled the inspection. The day of the inspection Bob showed up early and not only he was professional but also very friendly and patient to explain everything he was checking. Next day I received the report detailing the issues he had found and explained during the inspection. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Bob picked up the phone when I called the first time. He provided the price which was very reasonable and straightforward. We set the schedule and he encouraged me to be there for the inspection which I highly recommend for anyone getting a home inspection. He was thorough, friendly and gave a good honest assessment of the home. He gives you his thoughts in person and provides a writeup with photos that are easy to understand. He even talks you through what type of repairs to expect and when if you are buying an older home as well as ballpark estimates of cost and what you can do on your own. He even had helpful suggestions for a few things we could do since we were talking about potentially remodeling part of the home. read more

We got a home inspection on an older home we are looking to purchase. (Our first home) After many calls to different home inspectors we decided to go with Mr. Fry. He was FANTASTIC and was so thorough. After so much stress with buying a home; he put me at ease with his findings. I know many inspectors don't like when you are present during the inspection but Mr. Fry invited us to be there with him. He explained his findings as they occurred. Awesome! He knows what he's doing. He was on time and actually got started before we got there and went back to tell us his findings. He did not mind going over anything with us. He was very prompt with returning our calls and communication was definitely not an issue. I would use him again and will definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an inspector read more

Bob is awesome! He was friendly and communicative. He walked us through every step of his inspection and told us exactly what was going on and what he was looking for.

We 100% recommend!!! read more

Prompt and courteous. I requested info through Yelp and Bob replied within minutes. He was extremely courteous. I especially appreciated his want to have me involved in looking around my new house and review anything I thought might be a problem. Bob was respectful of the home and very knowledgeable about older homes. He was also right on time, which is a big deal to me as a client. The inspection came back exactly when he said it would. Thank you for your help! *have to update with edit unfortunately - report came back missing an item - luckily we had gone over it together and I caught it or this would have not been settled before closing. Revised report was not sent until the next morning* Would still recommend - it's was good that he made sure to go over the report with me read more

My wife and I are first time home buyers building a new construction home in Richmond, TX and will be closing next week! The home builder provides a third party inspector, but we wanted to double up and have our own inspector for this process for the peace of mind. After reading so many great reviews about Fry Home Inspection, I had the pleasure of having Bob Fry on our team during this inspection process. First off, we learned that each builder requires a certificate of insurance for inspectors before inspecting the house and unfortunately our builder requires an above average coverage of $1MM general liability. I would expect independent inspectors to immediately turn that down since it's an overkill requirement for the industry but Bob was able to call his insurance company and have the GL coverage increased to meet their requirement so he could inspect our home. The guy is committed and we really appreciated that. Showed that he really wanted our business. I have to say that the reviews that I read beforehand are pretty spot on. He made the process very seamless and his experience really came in clutch for us as he was able to find several issues with the home even with it being a new construction home. Our project manager agreed with all of his findings and is making corrections this week. Bob was very personable during this process and he was able to use his experience/industry knowledge to explain his findings and how they relate to code. Overall, we felt that Bob went above and beyond the call of duty and we are definitely satisfied with his services. I will be recommending his services to friends and family if a home inspector is needed in the future. Thanks again Bob! read more

He did a wonderful job on the property, he was professional and detailed on the report, he even added pictures on things that needed fixing. Loved his services. His price was cheaper than the other companies that had quoted me. I recommend his services!! read more

My husband and I are looking into buying a 1920 home in the Heights and after research, we came across Bob. He responded within minutes after I left a voicemail and was able to set up an appointment the same week. We just wrapped up the inspection and he invited my husband to walk around the house with him and explained different things. His findings were thorough, educated and not rushed. He is very personable and fun to be around. He is real and took the time to answer our questions with honesty and offered recommendations. We are very impressed with Bob and he's made our home buying process a lot easier! 10/10 recommend! read more

My wife and I are first time home buyers and learning daily about the process. My friend recommended Bob and after reading the great reviews I decided to call him. I called Bob on Labor Day for an inspection on Wednesday. He answered immediately and agreed to inspect the house. Bob also arranged to have a pest inspector come to the house at the same time. I met Bob at the house and he let me shadow him the entire process. He went into detail and explained which repairs needed to be done ASAP and which ones were minor. The next day he sent a detailed report along with photos. I would recommend Bob for anyone looking for a reliable yet fairly priced inspector. read more

Bob was one of the best inspectors I have ever hired. Our buyer was a young man buying his first home and he had very little knowledge of home maintenance and systems. Bob went over and beyond the call of duty to explain every little thing to him and take the time to teach him many things about his new home inside and outside. The service he provided was excellent. He arrived early and had the appliances running and was well into his inspection before we even arrived. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommend! read more

Mr. Fry not only offers the best rates around, but he has the experience and knowledge to give you an amazingly detailed, thorough inspection. Plus, he's a very friendly good ole 100% Texan! Use him, you will not be disappointed! read more

"Just the facts, mam," so you can make your own decision about Fry inspection. I chose Fry Home Inspection because of his Yelp reviews, prompt reply to my inquiry and his price. I will give you the facts about my experience. 1. The inspection was arranged for Friday afternoon at 3pm. I had arranged with the Realtor to be there so access to the property could be obtained. I also arranged for the floor installer to be there at the same time. 2. Mr. Fry called mid-day to say his dog had been run over by a car and he was at Heights Vet clinic so he was questioning whether he would make it to our appointment. 3. Mr. Fry called back about 2 pm and cancelled as his dog was "in surgery." He did agree to provide a FREE inspection the next day. 4. I contacted Heights Vet Clinic as well as Heights Vet Hospital and they did not have a customer named Fry nor any dog that had been hit by a car. 5. On Saturday, Mr. Fry met us at the property which I had to again arrange to get access. Mr. Fry did ask me how I was "going to pay" for the inspection upon his completion and I reminded him he had committed to doing it for free. He did provide a FREE inspection. read more
