We used Silver Hammer Inspections for our upcoming real estate closing in Prescott Valley. Everything was very professionally laid out easy to understand great photography, friendly professional service. We really appreciated walking the site with Matt and his on-site inspectors. They were very thorough and explained things in an easy to understand manner. The report was also easy to follow and interpret. I loved the color coding legend, it helped me find what I was looking for quickly. The summary page was especially useful in helping us draft our buyers response. The coordinator Aaron was great too, very friendly and responsive during what can be a very stressful time. I would highly recommend them. Thanks everyone. read more

I've been using Silver Hammer Inspections for years as a real estate agent, and I always feel confident recommending them to my clients. Their inspections are extremely thorough, and the reports are not only detailed but also very easy to read. Unlike some inspectors who seem stuck in the 1980s, Silver Hammer uses the latest technology, including infrared sensors, radon testing, sewer scopes, water testing, and well inspections--whatever you need, they can handle it quickly and professionally. One thing I always remind clients is that no inspection company is psychic or clairvoyant--inspectors can identify visible and accessible issues, but they can't see inside walls or predict problems that aren't present at the time of inspection. That said, Silver Hammer goes above and beyond in terms of what can be discovered, and their attention to detail gives buyers the clearest possible picture of a property's condition. What I especially appreciate is their repair list feature that integrates directly with the report, making it so convenient when putting together a BINSR. They're also always available to answer questions after the inspection, which gives both agents and clients peace of mind. If you're buying a home and want a reliable, professional inspection company that makes the process smooth from start to finish, I highly recommend Silver Hammer Inspections. read more

Our realtor gave us a selection of companies to do our home inspection on a house we are purchasing in Prescott Valley. We selected Silver Hammer because of all the great Yelp reviews.

The Yelp reviews did not disappoint and we too recommend this company. read more

We are purchasing a home in another state. Silver Hammer came highly recommended from friends/family in the area who had used their services. They did not disappoint! Our inspector arrived on time and he was incredibly thorough. After the inspection, he met with our realtor and a family member to review his findings. We got his report ( including a TON of pictures, video, and detailed findings. Then, when this 60ish human had trouble viewing the report and contacted them, they patiently and promptly helped us to access the report to review it. I would highly rec them to anyone needing a home inspection In Prescott/ Prescott Valley. read more

Professional, affordable, competent, and useful. I appreciate how all of our inspection needs (we had some add-ons) could be met. I could not be happier with the quality and value. The report was meticulously detailed. A shout to Paul, our inspector, who took the time to explain things in detail. read more

Appraisers are knowledgeable professionals who provided a full report on a home we are purchasing

My clients have used this company and have been very satisfied with their services. Just would like Veterans discounts

We arrived approximately 15 minutes early for our scheduled appointment; however, the entire experience felt rushed. Paul repeatedly mentioned that he had another appointment to attend, which gave us the clear impression that our time and concerns were secondary. A walk-through is an important opportunity to ask questions and ensure everything is addressed properly, and we did not feel that opportunity was fully provided. Additionally, my wife felt disrespected on several occasions when she asked questions. The tone and manner in which responses were given came across as dismissive and unprofessional. That was particularly concerning, as we expected a courteous and attentive interaction. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations of professionalism. If you don't mind being rushed through your walk thru, then this is the company for you. Even when we expressed our concerns, we received this response from there business manager Aaron- Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We've addressed this internally with Paul so that we can ensure expectations around tone, pacing, and client interaction are consistently met. Our standard post-inspection walkthrough is scheduled for approximately 30 minutes, which is what we build into our calendar for each client. We understand that some homes and conversations require more time, and it sounds like this one did. At the same time, we also have a responsibility to the next client scheduled, who deserves the same level of focus and excellence. We appreciate your understanding of that balance. That said, you and your wife should always feel respected and fully heard during the process. We take that seriously. We hope that, aside from the pacing of the walkthrough, the quality of the inspection itself and the thoroughness of the findings still reflect the level of professionalism and detail we aim to provide. Seams to us they are more concerned with their scheduling than giving the customer a thorough walk-thru! read more

Extremely Thorough!! Tim came out for a For Sale By Owner house inspection we are buying. He was extremely thorough, did a wonderful post-inspection walk through with us (even though all the issues were going to be on the report). It really helped seal the deal between us and the buyers. The report with photos and videos were available the next day! Matt did the sewer inspection - and he had to return to do the second half from backflow valve to the street the next week because the cap was not accessible. He came out 2 days from me notifying him it was ready - and had the report that afternoon! I will actually have them come out next year and inspect MY house - just to get a lead on any issues that need attention - its' money WELL SPENT! Great job guys!! read more

The owner contact me, and was very good at listening to the issues and working to come up with a solution.

The inspection report reads: "Showers & Tubs: Combination Shower and Bathtub is Serviceable. The combination shower and bathtub was tested and is currently in working order. Recommend ongoing observations in these areas for any changes and perform regular maintenance; particularly in corners and along grout/caulking lines, to prevent normal wear as well as the growth of mold/mildew. Neglecting these areas can lead to water damage over time." There is no further "thorough explanation" in the written report, especially as regards the faucet; the inspector seems to focus more on the grout/caulking lines and the potential for mold/mildew with no indication whatsoever that there was a problem with the faucet (which when we took possession of the house would not shut off completely and which we then had to pay to have repaired). Further, neither my husband nor I had a phone conversation with the inspector or anyone from the company. That is an absolutely false statement! The inspection was called for by our realtor and we had no direct interaction with anyone from this company except at the time of the inspection ... which would have been an appropriate time for the inspector to let us know if there was a problem with the tub faucet, by the way, which he did not. I would love to know what "user error" they are referring to when suggesting we somehow stripped the plastic cartridge. User error? Are they serious?! Are they saying we turned the faucet on incorrectly? Is there an incorrect way to turn on a faucet? Total nonsense! And what previous interaction have they had with this home? Are they saying they have inspected this home at another time recently enough to have knowledge of the current condition? When? For what reason? A home inspection company only does an inspection when called upon to do so by a home buyer. Since we are the first purchasers of this home for at least the past several years, I believe this is also a false statement. In my opinion, after my interactions with this company, I don't believe they are reputable, honest, or that they provide a good service. And I think I understand why they are pushing the non-disparagement agreements. I would definitely not recommend them. read more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! We had used the same home inspector through several homes out of state. When purchasing in Prescott, we were concerned that no one could measure up to the quality of our favorite inspector back home. We were not only surprised, but also extremely impressed at the depth and detail of the home inspection provided by Tim at Silver Hammer. To say we were pleased would be a gross understatement. Not only was the inspection very thorough, the walkthrough and time spent pointing out all issues with the home was nothing less than impressive. We highly recommend Silver Hammer home inspectors! read more

Silver Hammer Inspections - Home Inspectors Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Silver hammer preformed an inspection on a home I purchased in. Chino Valley. They missed a roof leak and when I contacted the owner Matt, he basically said I signed a contract that said they do not remove home owners possessions to inspect a home. He further went on about the signed contract but I just hung up and blocked him. The inspection was $450.00. They found lots of minor itty bitty problems. Big deal. The roof leak cost 2 grand. The inspection was not worth the cost. read more

Our experience with Silver Hammer was extremely positive! Dylan was not only thorough in his inspection and in his report, but he was also very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a great deal of insight for how to maintain and improve the property once we take ownership. He pointed out issues and concerns that the average inspector may have overlooked. Being in real estate myself, I've worked with a number of different home inspectors over the years; Dylan was one of the best in the industry that I've come across. Would definitely recommend Dylan and Silver Hammer Inspections to anyone looking for top notch service! read more

Don't make a $100,000 mistake. Do your homework before hiring a home inspector. And don't pay them for a sewer scope. They'll just hire an outside plumber. That's a very big mistake - for many legal liability reasons. You should hire a plumber who SPECIALIZES in performing sewer scopes on your own. That way if there's a problem you can sue the plumber for a faulty inspection. Just do your homework before you hire an inspector. NEVER hire an inspector recommended by your realtor either. Watch some Youtube videos from home inspectors. Learn what you need to look for & what to look out for when hiring an inspector. I had to laugh at the person from this company (Matt) arguing with the people who wrote bad reviews. He shouldn't be arguing with anyone. I'm being very kind in this review. read more

We were extremely happy with our experience with Silver Hammer Inspections (Tim and Aaron are great) and highly recommend them and their services!!! read more

We are out of state, so our inspector, Paul, did a review of his findings via FaceTime. He went over every detail, walked the entire house pointing out areas of concern as well as the little maintenance issues we might want to correct. He showed us how things work and was very thorough. This was valuable to us, especially because we couldn't physically be there. Paul is personable, was knowledgeable, and made it a point to let us know he is available to receive our call anytime if we had further questions or just needed his help. We highly recommend this company. We were very satisfied with our experience. read more

Inspector did a thorough job and met with my husband at the allotted time for a walk through.

I had the pleasure of working with Silver Hammer Inspections for a pre-closing walkthrough on a new construction home that I am purchasing. I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, Matt, our Silver Hammer home inspector, was incredibly professional, competent, and confident in his work, and truly went above and beyond to advocate for our interests throughout the inspection process. Not only did Matt thoroughly inspect every nook and cranny of the property, but he also took the time to explain his findings in detail and answer any questions we had along the way. When it came time to present his findings, he confidently did so with me, my wife, and to representatives of the home builder. Matt was an absolute rockstar - confident, assertive, and unwavering in his commitment to ensuring that we received a competent assessment of the condition of our property and that any necessary repairs or improvements were addressed. Of note: After Matt departed, the builder's representatives mentioned to me that they were equally impressed with Matt's professionalism. Overall, I could not be more impressed with Silver Hammer Inspections. I plan on retaining them to do periodic/annual inspections of our new home moving forward. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspector. They will look out for your interests and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve when making an important real estate investment. read more

Matt Maxwell and his team of technicians provided me professional and accurate infrastructural and system assessments while conducting a pre-listing inspection of my 1998 build home. Tim and his assistant were prompt, courteous and personable. They told me what they were going to do, they did it, and shared with me their report. Most importantly they gave me knowledge to rebut a glaringly erroneous report compiled by the buyers inspector, which nearly caused a cancellation of the buyers contract. Silver Hammer is the epitome of professionalism in home inspections! Way to go guys, I'm proud of you! read more

My family and I are moving to Prescott and our realtor put us in contact with Matt for our inspection. He has great attention to detail. He found things we would have missed. read more

I'm from out of town and needed a home inspection report with lots of pictures. Silver Hammer Inspections provided a good inspection and a very handy program that allows you to download the web page report to your computer and copy and paste it to assist with writing requests for repairs. read more

We met at our very thorough home inspection which was conducted after the professional had surveyed the checklist he works from. after hours of inspection, he had quite a list to walk us through, showing us as well as explaining to us the various areas, systems, utilities, indoor maintenance issues, outdoor property issues, roofing issues, garage and concrete foundation issues. We saw, we understood, he explained and was able to point to several items we couldn't have known about w/o having professional eyes and knowledge on the job to cover for inspection. We feel safer, protected knowing the property we are considering will be sold with the inspected items that needed attention remedied before the sale is made. The company was quick to respond to the ask for the inspection, courteous, thorough in explanations, and I would recommend them and use them again as I trust their competence, knowledge, and deep inspection going roof high and foundation deep! read more

I was given a lot of headache for the inspection of my commercial warehouse building in Prescott AZ. Because when I reviewed the inspection report I noticed the roof of the building was not inspected and found out after emphasizing for the roof report and its condition being the main reason for the whole report, the manager Aaron Brandt sighted lack of equipment to access roof and thus it was not possible for the company inspector and therefore, he issued a generous $82 refund as the proportionate value of my roof inspection accounting for only 6% worth of the cost of the total report at ($1,386.00). Poor service and out of touch with customer need read more

Silver Hammer provided by far the most professional, comprehensive, well documented and friendly inspection and walk through that we have ever experienced. Tim was fantastic and thorough taking his time to explain everything in our time together. He also forwarded us a report that provided fantastic documentation with descriptions and images for our records. I highly recommend this company! --L.Toy read more

Matt, from Silver Hammer, had to make two trips out to our prospective home, through no fault of his, and did not charge a fee for the first trip. We had used Silver Hammer for a different home inspection and found it was beyond our budgetary means to fix it up. So it was nice to get the same inspector. He did a very thorough job. And this time, nothing was so bad that we couldn't live with it. There were issues, of course, and I read through the text, looked at the videos and was heartened by the lack of any real deficiencies. Great job, Matt! Great job. And Thank You so much! read more
