I have been using John Vetter & Sons for years for home inspections. They are by far superior in that John was a contractor and has far more knowledge and experience about the components of construction then the average home inspector. John, Jason & Cezar are my first choice for home inspections. Karen Gaskill Licensed Broker-Associate since 1979 ABR,GRI,SRES,CRS, Coldwell Banker Paradise Vero Beach, Florida read more

Integrity is in short supply nowadays but Mr Vetter and son corrected an error without any complaint. A company that adheres to a high level of integrity is worth seeking out. read more

John Vetter and sons are the best at home inspections. They are professional and delightful people. Jason was our inspector. He is Awesome!!!! we will keep coming back and refer them to our friends and family! Bonnie and Geoff Foster read more

From the beginning professional and responsive. The inspection was set up and performed within days. We asked for a 4 point and a full inspection. Very pleased with the report and very happy with the purchase of our new home. read more

I do NOT recommend John Vetter & Sons inc! I've found so much stuff that he missed its incredible. Had I known the extent of the issues with the house I bought I would have negotiated a much lower price or walked away. I'm not an expert in home inspection. He is and these issues should have been mentioned in the report. Here's what I've found so far in the last couple weeks: 1. Hose pipe coming out of the wall by the side door has a 1/2" gap where it come out of the wall letting in rain. 2. 110v outlet outside by the side door is hanging off the wall letting in rain. 3. Piping for the hose spicket by the corner of the front fence leaks (a lot). 4. John noticed the electrical box covers for the pool and irrigation systems pumps were missing. When he reinspected he failed to notice they were literally just placed on and not secured in any way. They literally just fell off. If he'd have taken two seconds to actually "inspect" he'd have seen that. 5. John caught one open electrical junction box in the attic but missed another. 6. The wood wall paneling in the living room has extensive water damage. I could push my fist right through it with no effort. From water leaking around the brick column on the outside. 7. The center beam in the hurricane shutter over the large front picture window is broken and badly bent. It's obviously been hit by a tree limb in the past. 8. Extensive water damage under the door sill to the side door. Likely from the leaking 11v outlet and water pipe outlet (#1 and #2). The plywood floor is starting to collapse in that area. 9. Numerous sections of the rain gutter are detaching from the house. 10. Both underground rain gutter pipes on the back of the house to include the open and very visible brick patio drain are plugged with leaves and dirt. 11. The wooden side door of the house has rot on the bottom. 12. The A/C inlet and outlet vents were full of mold and mildew as was the air handler. Required extensive professional cleaning that cost me almost $2,000. The "old person" smell in the house is now gone! Didn't know ahead of time that John doesn't inspect for mold. Only found that out after reading the report. Seems to me that would something important to disclose to your customer! 13. Found wires in the attic that have obviously been chewed by rodents exposing bare wires. 14. Numerous piles of mouse or rat droppings in the attic as well as piles of chewed styrofoam. (Looks like someone's old Christmas ornaments) 15. Living room ceiling fan attached to a garden hook secured only by a pair of vise-grip pliers in the middle of the attic floor. Easily seen and accessible in the attic. 16. Foundation issue behind the hall bath toilet. Floor has sunk 1/2 inch below the baseboard trim. 17. The food disposal under the kitchen sink leaks. Lots of wood rot and black mold under the counter. 18. John's report states the crawlspace was inspected. I find that highly unlikely because when the Xfinity guy and I found the one crawlspace access it had a large amount of old leaves covering almost 1/4-1/3 of the access cover. 19. There are numerous sections in the attic with missing insulation. 20. No mention of the irrigation system other than to say "not inspected". Why? It's literally right next to the pool pump and of course it doesn't work. 21. Found multiple outlets and light switches reading 18 volts instead of 120 volts. 22. Reached out by email and Facebook to the company and got no response. Find yourself another home inspector! read more

The wind mitigation Jason did was very professional and explained the details he found to us. He arrived on time and finished the report and we had a copy before he left. We would recommend this company to others. read more

John did a great inspection on our new home. He inspected our house from top to bottom. I would highly recommended him.

They are a great inspection company. They do a thorough job. They are reliable. I have been using them to inspect my RE sales for over 10 years. read more

Very good experience on 3 properties. They are prompt and very capable. I highly recommend Vetter.

Jason Missed Significant Items, A Blind Man could have done a better job. I would have not purchased the property had he bought the list of items to my attention . There nothing but THEIF'S , Take the money and run team. Will not refund , apologize , Admit wrong doing. What a Shit way to do business. DO NOT HIRE. "BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS " read more

See all

A company I would totally recommend. I was in need of an inspection on my condo for insurance purposes. I called and got an appointment within a few days. A very professional company. read more

An incredibly thorough inspection for a fair price. We had worked with another inspection company on another house we didn't end up buying and they barely looked at anything,then overcharged us. The difference with John Vetter was huge. They got up into all the nooks and crannies. Lots of photos. read more

Everyone I spoke to was kind and professional. Outstanding service. Reliable, punctual, excellent comunication skills, and provided the report quickly. I would use them again. I refer John Vetter & Sons to everyone. You will be very happy with their service. read more

A great family team that always puts forth the effort to make sure that you are protected when purchasing such a large investment as your home. Very detailed Inspections and easy to read and understand reports. As busy as they are they find the time to service their clients. One of my top choices when recommending Inspectors. read more

John did a wind mitigation inspection for my property in Vero Beach. Easy to work with. Prompt service.

What a waste of my time, money and gas money. I drove 3 hours to meet the inspector for the condo inspection. First he started a half an hour before the scheduled start time. I have been to 30 + previous inspections with homes I have owned so I know a good inspector. I used this company previously with good results. However, this time Jason, the son, came to do the inspection. I was read the riot act that if I accompanied him during the inspection, he charges more. The report was the worse piece of crap I have ever seen as an inspection report. John you need to fire your son. read more

The inspection process was very thorough. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They understood the importance of the inspection and that was reflected in their approach! Great company! read more

Disappointing home inspection, inspector didn't catch several issues that would have made a different before purchasing. Can't recommend. read more

If I could leave less I would. They did an inspection for a buyer and said they found several issues. They said the microwave didn't work because they didn't know how to use it. They said the water heater was leaking and it was a rust stain from the previous washer leak. They said the flat rubber roof had water pooling on it that a real roofer found to be funny. Out of about 8 so called issues after further inspection only 3 things were of concern like batteries needed in smoke detectors. With that being said beware if you need an accurate inspection. read more

We contacted John when we were purchasing a new home in Vero Beach. John was great to work with and identified a number of items that needed to be addressed. His report was quickly completed and very useful going forward. You know his reputation is well deserved when the builder comments on the thoroughness of the inspector! read more

a true pleasure to deal with. very professional and thorough down to the last detail. I highly recommend their services

Was a good thorough inspection that saw things I did not. When you look at home you see the good things, they see the bad things. I enjoyed the report and look forward to using them again read more

Inspection seems to be thorough and Jason caught many small things during his time on my property. I'm rating 4 stars because it's 2020 and they only take cash or check for payment. Both are inconvenient and I expect ALL businesses to take card payments read more

Most expedient process that went on without a hitch. I highly recommend using John Vetter and Sons.

The inspectors showed up on time, completed their work in a timely manner, took time to explain their findings and answered all of our questions. ---------------------- read more

As an insurance agent I count on inspection reports to be accurate and thorough to not only provide me with the information I need but to also protect my clients. John Vetter always provides exceptional reports with detailed analysis of the properties he inspects. Thank you John! read more

I was very happy with the inspection report that I received from John Vetter and Sons. It was complete, accurate and I received it within 3 days after the inspection.

We have been living in the house for 2 months now and are very happy with our purchase. Our house is now our home and we love it. read more

Extremely pleased with the comprehensive review of the property and flexibility to work around a very short inspection window!
