I really appreciated Travis and how attentive he is to details. My brother referred us to him and after this inspection, I immediately referred two of my neighbors. He took time to answer all our questions and give simple answers. He spent almost four hours here and provided a draft report as soon as he was done. Definitely great value. read more

I have a love hate relationship with Travis! And I mean that in the most respectful way. If you want to make sure you are making the right decision on purchasing a home I would highly recommend Travis with SEI Inspections. Travis is professional, timely but most importantly THOROUGH AS HELL!!! We hired him on 2 occasions! The first home was our ultimate dream home until Travis finished his inspection. There were so many major issues that had been well hidden that Travis found. He truly helped us avoid a money pit. Second home he discovered a substantial amount of issues but additionally prepared a repair estimate sheet for us that assisted in the negotiation process. You can't go wrong using SEI Inspections!! read more

Travis was very thorough on our new construction home. I was amazed the amount of time and detail he put in. We were able to get the report promptly the morning after and able to get items addressed with our builder immediately. He is professional and very reasonably priced. I will be working with him again prior to our warranty expiration because I know that he will be looking out for our best interest. I highly recommend SEI ! read more

Great customer service. Very knowledgeable. Really took his time to explain everything in the report. I highly recommend.

Travis was very informative on what he was looking for. He allowed me to walk through with him and ask questions. When asking questions about certain things he gave me honest answers. Gave me some great tips on keeping up with maintenance on a home. Some things I had never thought about. He was very thorough in his inspection. This helped me with negotiating terms and getting things fixed prior to buying my house. I would definitely recommend Travis and SEI Inspections for your home inspection. His experience and knowledge shows in his work. He was also able to schedule me in next day. read more

Travis was excellent in communicating and answering all questions. He is very approachable, professional and friendly so we were very happy with the service.

Travis was great! He paid great attention to detail, everything was inspected thoroughly and was super friendly! Being first time home buyers, he made sure we understood everything! We recommend him to EVERYONE! read more

I would like to acknowledge that Travis was an excellent inspector with a great deal of knowledge and experience. He inspected a property with six rooms, dedicating an entire day to thoroughly examine every aspect. He provided the most accurate information he could about each item he inspected. Whenever an issue came up, he took the time to explain it to me clearly, along with possible solutions. Although he wasn't required to come a day early, he informed us that doing so would help determine whether the stucco required an invasive inspection, giving us enough time to schedule it before our option period expired. It was also a pleasure to speak with him throughout the process. I truly believe we received the most honest and thorough assessment possible, and I found him to be exceptionally trustworthy and sincere. read more

I love Travis. He helped me dodge a bullet on a house. Hire him he is worth his weight in gold and he is reasonable. I love him.

Used Travis' services for a 2nd time. First time was when purchasing my home and 2nd time was when I had to do my one year inspection for my home's warranty. He was phenomenal both times. Great communication, easy to book, personable, knowledgeable, thorough. Great experience! read more

If you ever need a home inspection, look no further than SEI Inspections! My husband and I worked with Travis and we could not have been happier. Travis stayed in constant communication via text and email. On the date of the inspection, he was thorough as he inspected the house and pointed out the problem areas. He made sure we understood the minor and major issues. As first time homebuyers, we appreciated knowing the difference between the two issues. We even received our report the same day as the inspection. Thank you Travis for all of your help! read more

As a first time homebuyer, finding an inspector I could trust and identify all the issues of the house was critical. We found glowing five star reviews for Travis. The price was competitively on the lower end ($250 for 1500+ sq ft) and included thermal imaging, which was an add-on fee for some other inspectors or simply not an option. Travis came out and looked at my townhouse in February 2017. We had talked several times beforehand, and he is friendly and flexible with scheduling changes. He is easily reachable and responsive by call/text. The contract was sent via email and easy to sign off on. While he does not currently have a pest inspection license, he called around for me and managed to secure an appointment. Day of, my family followed him around as he scouted out the house. He takes photos on his iPhone on a nifty app that will generate a PDF report of findings. The pictures turned out clear, and Travis marked it up later in the report to point out the issues. Travis had a lot of nifty gadgets. The roof was high up for a two story townhouse with 10' floors, so his ladder was not high enough. While most inspectors would simply not inspect the roof, he instead whipped out a drone and flew it up. The camera on the GoPro is HD, so he took a few aerial shots, which can be zoomed in on the computer to look for issues. He also has a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera. The thermal imaging camera was integral to identifying a leak in the plumbing. I like that Travis does an all inclusive package with all his available tools to do a comprehensive inspection instead of nickel and diming. The thermal inspection I think is crucial as it would be very unlikely to discover the leak unless there was some visible leak damage. Travis identified key things that needed to be fixed, and also went on a very detailed nit-picky levels of things that are not a big issue but does not meet the standards. Throughout he was excellent to my zealous dad in explaining his finding and a potential diagnosis. He communicated the issues effectively and in layman terms. I really liked that he admitted when he did not know something and deferred to hiring a specialist in roofing, HVAC, etc for a professional opinion. He brought an extensive knowledge base with diverse perspectives - having worked as a home construction manager and seeing the complete lifecycle of building a new home from scratch, rehabbing old homes, and even a property insurance adjuster. Our conversations and persistent question-asking kept Travis perhaps four hours for a 1500 sq foot home, and he was incredibly patient and supportive of our learning. He gave us tips on how to fix the minor ones. He also would mention some maintenance items that would need to be done. I was jotting notes as we went, but really the inspection report is so thorough that you will be more than fine without. Travis promised to get it out by the next day. We received the home inspection report that night at 10 pm. The report itself is a treasure trove with lots of pictures and captions detailing the issues and findings. Even after the inspection, Travis has been very helpful in referring contacts and giving his thoughts on the proposed repairs. Travis has extremely patient and helpful; he has become a trusted source of judgment throughout my home-fixing process. I understand that finding the right guy to inspect your house is essential, and Travis has more than exceeded expectations in every way. read more

sei I learned about SEI Inspections from a family member. My wife and I were deciding whether to have our first home inspected or not ...and we're glad we did! We wouldn't have known about the issues our newly built house had without an inspector. He was knowledgeable, shared suggestions and tips and was welcome to answer all our questions. Just like my family member, I highly recommend SEI for home inspections. Having it done by them will be worth your money and bring you peace of mind read more

I recommended Travis Hooper of SEI Inspections to members of my family because he did such a thorough job inspecting the property I am under contract to buy in the Upper Kirby area! The reason I went with him instead of a few of the larger companies that were recommended to me is that, even though they had a lot of positive reviews, the larger ones also had enough 1-star reviews to make me hesitate. I am so glad that I chose SEI Inspections and will hire them again for all future inspection needs. Thank you so much SEI! read more

First time home buying is frightening, but Travis was extremely helpful. Travis was professional, responsive, and honest. I appreciate how he was very cautious during the pandemic.

He got it to me within three hours, and it very well documents the issues. I was very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

We are buying a home remotely from Chicago, and SEI was recommended to us by our realtor. Given we aren't local enough to have any other resources of our own, we trusted her opinion and we were NOT led astray! The report was ready quickly, and as excited as I was to see the results, I spent the first few minutes geeking out by Travis's credentials. I could not think of any other experience/background I would have wanted to trust someone to inspect my new home (which I still haven't seen in person, mind you!). The report was thorough, reassuring, and gave us the extra comfort we needed to know that this big, scary move we are making won't have any unknown surprises once we get there. If you're on the fence about who to hire - don't be. SEI is the company you want. Thank you, SEI, for your great work! read more

I work in appraisal and I hear, quite often, nightmare stories where the inspector missed this and that and homeowners purchased a home with issues that would cost quite a bit to cure and devalue the home overall. Before finding SEI I did some web research and after talking to someone from the business felt confident that they'd do a good job. The follow up didn't end there-- we had phonecalls regarding the property (we didn't end up picking it up) midway and after the inspection and SEI was frank and answered my questions and explained their findings in a way how issues and concerns would have been impactful. From the laundry list of concerns, I could tell they showed up and were real thorough. I'm glad we went with them on the property they visited and as we didn't close on that property we'll be looking forward to working with them on the next property we're interested in. read more

Travis came out to Pearland to do an inspection. My house was coming to the end of its 2 year warranty and I contacted about 5 people through Yelp!

He showed up right on time and had the report ready to view the next morning. read more
