The level of quality and service that Ink Home Services provided to use was amazing. Danny's inspection was thorough, balanced and calm. He pointed out things almost any other inspector would have missed and spent extra time, to ensure that he investigated a potential termite problem. Finally, the report that Danny produced was by far the most readable, and informative I have ever seen. Do not even think about using someone else for your inspection.

Kevin has now helped me twice with home inspections and both times were great experiences. He is…read morevery thorough and possesses the ability, knowledge, and experience to point out even the most minor issues with a house. I would highly recommend being with him during the inspection because he will also provide valuable recommendations about best practices and/or "how-to's" regarding maintenance, preventative maintenance, repairs, etc. while he points out the findings/issues during the inspection. It is very clear that he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his clients.

Best experience and most thorough inspector out there!!!…read more I was in the process of purchasing a home in Michigan and needed an inspector... here's the plot twist! I lived in California and was seeking someone who would work out of state with me, not rip me off, and give a thorough inspection knowing that I wasn't going to be there to see it for myself. I found Mr. Kevin! and let me tell you, this guy is the BEST out there. I called him on a Friday afternoon and asked if he could be there for the weekend for an inspection. He wasn't able to make it due to prior obligations, but he was out first thing on the following Monday. I explained to Kevin that I needed someone who was ethical and worked with integrity because I wasn't there to inspect with him. He understood my concerns and reassured me that he would take his time and do the best that he could, regardless of me not being there. Just talking to him on the phone I could hear his passion and his ethics involved with the business. I felt like I could trust him and I'm glad that I did. I had concerns with 3rd party interference and distraction while he was inspecting the home and he told me "Shelby, I work for you, no one else. I promise I won't let anyone distract me from what I was hired to do." After the inspection and prior to me receiving the report, Kevin called me in the evening (around 8pm Michigan time) to discuss the findings and give me his opinions on the property. Kevin told me that he'd inspect even square inch of that house and that is exactly what he did. He sent me a massive report of all the findings, big and small and I was very thankful for that. This report gave me tremendous negotiating power on the house and allowed me to come under what I was expecting on the close price. I will forever be thankful for Kevin and forever recommend his services. Thank you again for all the help!

He carried with him equipment for detailed factual findings that many of the other inspection businesses did not offer. His meticulous approach found multiple defects and issues that were of great importance to our health and welfare, and he gave helpful recommendations on how we might approach and remedy the problems. I highly recommend The HOME examiner INSPECTION SERVICES to anyone and everyone who is buying old or new. He has saved us from future problems and headaches down the road in both our health and the health of the structures and property. We genuinely believe he is one of the good guys out there and are very grateful for his quality approach and careful inspection of our home.

However, they missed the rotting windows in one room (A $3,000 repair) the improperly vented water heater (a carbon monoxide hazard for the main bedroom) and the bathroom fan that was vented into the attic. (technically up to code when the house was built, but it presents a mold hazard and should be vented outside.) Additionally, their recommended solution for all the issues they found was to "Contact a licensed professional." And while I agree that you should call a pro to do electrical or plumbing work, there are some things, like proper grading, that can easily be done by a homeowner. They could suggest something like "Add top soil to created a negative slope from the house for a minimum of 3 feet out" (or whatever the standard is.) So while they did a decent job with some things, I felt that they missed several important items, and they could have given more practical advice. I would not recommend them or use them the next time.

He has inspected the three different houses I have purchased in my lifetime (in 2002, 2007, and in 2014). He has also done inspections on a few other houses within those years and has saved me from some very large home repairs in a house that I would not have been able to afford not knowing it had termites or structural damage, or whether the electrical box and outlets are up to code (which were some of the findings that made me decide not to go through with the purchase). He is fantastic at walking through the entire house with you and showing you everything he finds that you should be aware of, not just the negatives either. He's great at telling you the pro's, con's, as well as the little things like - in a few years you might want to do this or that... or if you did this right away, it may help prevent this or that happening. He was more than happy to answer my many questions at each inspection, and at the end of the inspection provides a very detailed report with several pictures and his comments on areas that need work or that the homeowner should be aware of. He has no issues getting into crawl spaces or attics, searching for mold and mildew or evidence of leaks and things like that, or getting on top of the roof. Each house I have purchased, I have also gotten the Radon tests as well in my residential home inspections. His prices are reasonable and he's always been very professional and thorough. I would not purchase another home without contacting him first.
