We purchased a new home in SC. We hired Shane Johnson of Metro Augusta Inspection Services. If I could give 10 stars I would. Shane is the most professional, experienced and trustworthy Inspection Specialist for your needs. You will not go wrong if you use Shane, nor will you be disappointed! I strongly recommend Shane for a new home or an existing home. We did not know, what we did not know until Shane conducted the inspection. He walked us through the entire house and pointed out areas that did not meet code. He explained it to us in language a layman would understand. Shane uncovered areas that we did not even know existed. Shane is detailed, extremely friendly, honest and extremely knowledgeable in home inspections. We are so grateful for Shane. We were so impressed and satisfied with Shane's knowledge and experience, we asked that he come back to the home twice to ensure his findings were corrected. His reports are detailed with a quick turnaround. Because of Shane's expertise, the findings in our new home were corrected prior to closing. Even after the inspection, Shane was available to answer any questions we had. Shane goes over and above what is expected. He truly puts the customer first. He is the very best in his field!!!! We plan to use him again for an inspection prior to our one year warranty of the house expires. If there is something to be found, Shane will find it!! read more

I cannot recommend Metro Augusta Inspection Services enough! They have inspected several houses for us over the years. This is by far the ONLY company in Augusta I can 100% recommend without any hesitation! The reports are VERY simple to read and navigate. The level of detail on their reports is very impressive! Every inspection comes with all sorts of warranties and get this, a 200% money back guarantee (which we have never had to use)! Their inspectors are also licensed in GA and SC (which doesn't seem like a big deal but it is if you use one of the many inspectors who aren't licensed in SC). Trust me, we've had friends not check that and had a nightmare inspection experience using an inspector their agent recommended who wasn't actually licensed. We've used James and Shane and both are super knowledgable and very professional! They both were also available after the inspection for any questions I had that I forgot to ask at the inspection (and once for a question I had after I moved in). Oh, and scheduling was so easy online! I was able to schedule in less than 5 minutes! VERY HIGHLY recommend them! I've used other inspection companies in the past and I can honestly say none of them have even remotely compared to the experiences I have received with Metro Augusta! Thank you guys! read more

Shane Johnson of Metro Augusta offers basic home and inspection as well as an extra service that included thermal imaging Radon test concierge service and warranty. He explained what the additional services were and did not try to oversell me if we didn't want or need. He was super thorough in his inspection and explaining things to me due to moving here from Texas and unfamiliar with issues that may arise. I was truly nervous at what we would find but he reassured me that we would go over everything as well as tell me if there were problems. so out of curiosity we requested for the other services which in the end uncovered some unforeseen issue. He gave me information on what approaches should be done to mitigate them as well as timeframe on what to handle. So, as with every house there were problems and thanks to Metro Augusta it helped us negotiate repairs before we purchased or home saving us a great deal read more

James Mapp was on time ( actually, early ), personable, got to the business at hand and worked industriously the entire time he was in the home doing the multi-point inspection. He was always willing to stop and answer questions related to the house and explain or give his thoughts about various things I had noticed myself about some aspect of the house. He was a very polite and hard-working inspector. I elected to have additional testing done which bumped up my bill. I have no idea how their pricing compares with other companies. They came highly recommended by my real estate agent. I received a very detailed report, including photographs, with a quick turnaround and was very pleased with the service from start to finish. read more

I have never been able to truly put into words as to how much we appreciate his efforts to impress upon our clients and protect their best interest. -Homes with Hartley, Bonnie Hartley 706.284.9879 read more

Edward did our home inspection this morning and did an absolutely splendid job. No photos taken of him but he took lots and provided a detailed report with the appropriate photos of current conditions and provided common sense suggestions to remedy the minor defects. I would, if I ever buy another house, definitely request the professionals of Metro Inspection Services. Nothing was overlooked; even when there were potential future issues, Ed explained what could be done to mitigate future headaches. Kudos don't cover it all. read more

I was very impressed with Metro Augusta Inspection Services. The inspector found several items that I had overlooked while looking through the home. I initially was not sure if a home inspection was needed. I am so glad we decided to go with our real estate agents recommendation. We were able to negotiate with the seller and get all of the items repaired before we moved in. I highly recommend Metro Augusta Inspection Services if you are in the market for a new home. read more

I highly recommend Metro Augusta for home inspections!! read more
