Steve inspected two potential homes for us during the home buying process. He was so thorough, patient, and knowledgeable through the entire process. Both of our inspections were completed without us being in the state. Steve spent time on the phone explaining the inspection. One important aspect is that Steve showed us where to turn off the water, gas, etc in case of an emergency. I found the report easy to navigate and understand. I would highly recommend precision home inspections for all of your inspection needs. read more

We would highly recommend Steve and Precision home inspections. read more

TL;DR version- Excellent service, above and beyond our expectations. Grab a cuppa and sit down version: Moved to Alaska from Florida last summer after a two week vacation here - yeah, we know. So our local knowledge is what we could gather from YT, FB, and sadly, reality TV. Found a lovely little cabin that we believed fits our needs, but had no clue how to verify that it was structurally sound, and built with some forethought, as building codes up here seem to be more of a suggestion rather than a hard and fast rule in some places. Our realtor gave us three options for inspections - Corporate chain, High Tech with insane bells and whistles(and charges to match), and a family operation that is happy to explain things in detail. I ran my own business for almost two decades, so I get it. Easy choice. Steve arrived ten minutes early, joining the seller, my realtor, and myself. And after passing thru the Big Lake seasonal road construction snafu. Good planning on his part!! All smiles, we chatted a few minutes to get to know each other. As a personal story from the seller started to unwind, Steve excused himself to get to work. Smooooothly talked himself out of a time sink....slick. He covered every nook and cranny, crawled in the dirt and grime, stomped thru bushes, and turned over rocks. Flashlight in corners, under eaves, and into a variety of pipes and vents. You'd think he was looking for lost treasure.... After a couple hours...in a 16x24 cabin, I should add, he set his flashlight down, put his camera away, and smiled. The man gets into his work. And I believe did a wonderful job of describing everything he found, good or bad, and took the time to give me pointers on living in a log cabin in Alaska. He went on to explain the fixes for the various issues, including repair options with pros and cons of each. He not only found my problems, he also knew solutions, and offered several, including suggesting professional for the things that were clearly best left to those with the know-how. I can say there are two things I found not to be above average....and I KNOW it's being ulta picky, but I offer these examples to show how hard I had to search to find issues. While under the cabin going over the contents and the space itself, he failed to point out the lack of quake straps in the water heater...I think he didn't mention it, I don't recall him saying anything about it....but guess what...it was on the report...three times! The other thing is, he was just a really nice guy, and I'd hang out around a campfire with him, but probably never will....and that kinda sucks. Yeah. The worst thing about the guy is I liked him enough to hang out but won't. What's that say??? Nice guy. Great work ethic. Down to earth, incredibly knowledgeable. And, a Brother Vet. Unless you like smoke and mirrors and doubletalk on your home inspections....use this guy. Seriously. read more

Precision Home Inspections - Thanks to Steve, we believe this IS a good fit for us, Thanks!! - Home Inspectors Near Me

Professional inspection. The buyer, seller, and inspector all participated in the inspection.

There were no surprises and the inspection was professional. read more

Steve was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It was my wife's and I first time buying a home so we didn't know what to really expect. He answered all of our questions whether it was repairs or what kind of renovation ideas we had and what we should do. Once he was complete, he showed all of his findings and provided recommendations on the repairs. He was very thorough and ensured the house was safe and up to code.

Steve was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain how the water heater and furnace should work, what to look for and the safety features of each item. An appliance recall service is included with his inspection so if there are any issues down the road with the appliances registered in the system, you will be notified of the recall. He pays special attention to any safety related items and was very thorough. His pricing was very competitive, he met a short timeline request, and the process was all done very easily online. I highly recommend Steve and Precision Home Inspections. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Steve. He showed me every part of the house and all the shut off valves and answered all my questions. He also hooked me up with a sweet company to help make my move in smoother. I have and will continue to recommend Steve for home inspections! read more

Great company, got everything I asked for and more. Had some amazing services linked such as serial number recall lookup on all appliances, as well as photo reports to back everything up. Highly recommend read more

Steve and Precision are incredible. My wife and I are purchasing our first home and our realtor set up our inspection. I'm so glad we took his recommendation and had Precision do it. Steve showed up and was incredibly professional and helpful. He took the time to explain what was wrong and how to fix it. His inspection was thorough and we had the report back in less than 24 hours. I cannot recommend them enough. They are worth every penny. read more

We were referred by Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group and paid a total of $ 700.00 dollars for our home inspection and are frustrated at the amount of money we spent to make sure our home was fine. To our dismay and shock alot of things were missed and passed over and have moved into a house with damages that have exceeded over $ 60,000 in repairs and counting. We feel the report we got was pencil whipped and do not want any one else to experience all of things that have gone wrong. read more

Steve arrived early and was professional and very thorough...pretty funny guy at that! He advised his home inspection process and the appliance recall services that come with the home inspection. I had lots of questions as always and he actually welcomed them! In the interior, he searched every nook and cranny and seemed to check everything, I mean everything that one would probably not think of. Steve noticed dried water stains on the kitchen floor and hadn't noticed this "winter foot traffic" in the surrounding areas of the kitchen floor so he started to investigate...it was a refrigerator leak! Steve walked around and searched the entire exterior of the home and took pictures, etc. I used to be in the real estate industry and Steve has always been a highly recommended inspector. I don't have time to waste time, however, I do have time to save you time! Renee D. read more

We had an inspection done on our (hopefully) future home. They arrived on time and were so friendly! We got their information by recommendation from our realtor, so we weren't too sure what to expect. Steve was so informative and answered every question we had. They took their time and fully invested themselves in the evaluation. He also gave me a run down of what to keep an eye on as home owners, how to turn things on and off (gas lines, water lines etc.). He provided us with the report in less then 24 hrs and will always be available with any further questions we have in the future. Couldn't be happier with our experience! read more

If I could rate these good folks at 6 stars, I would! I have utilized Steve's (and new associate Breanna) services twice now in the last couple months. Each time he/they inspected a home for me as a potential buyer, they were incredibly professional, thorough, and conscientious of not being "invasive." I was advised to ask a home inspector to show me proof of his license and insurance upfront, and Steve was plenty willing and able to do so. He/they know the rules, regulations, and codes inside and out, and were very quick and clear to point out when these were in violation. Their process is very comprehensive, documenting everything in proprietary software on tablets and smart phones. This enables them to provide final reports that are broken down into violations of different categories complete with digital pictures (taken with the tablet or smart phone) of said violations. They were incredibly willing and encouraging to let me tag along during inspections, ask all kinds of questions, and explain how different systems worked and what was wrong with them. Bottom line is that utilizing Precision was worth every penny, and I would recommend Precision to anyone, buyer or seller, who needs a home inspected. Great insurance for a buyer to know what you are (potentially) buying in to. read more

Extremely knowledgable! Me and my wife are first time home buyers and they walked us through the house and looked at everything and explained how everything worked. They also answered all of our questions. They also gave us suggestions on how to fix the minor issues. They told us about the area and I feel like they gave us their honest opinion on everything. Super friendly I would recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Professional, prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Steve with Precision Home Inspections was easy to contact and speak with, schedule with, and had a report ready the next day. He also includes a useful membership to a homeowner's resource network and showed he was sincerely committed to conducting a thorough inspection. He answered all my questions completely, and I appreciated the clear and informative website also beforehand. He gave a step-by-step plan of what to expect when he arrived at the door, and was also very clear what his process would be to ensure that the inspection would be to your satisfaction, including being available for any corrections or follow-up needed after the inspection. read more
