Mr. Fryday spent 4+ hours, very carefully identified each and every (easily missed) defects of our house in our maintenance inspection and educated us on possible causes and solutions. His report is has color photos and is very detailed. We especially appreciate his experiences and the "causes" and "solutions" that he provided as a 3rd party advisor, as our other sources of information are sales people and AI. His advice eliminates the misconception that the sales people preached to us, and would save us a few thousand in the future. read more

He performed a very thorough home inspection for us and found several issues that would have costs upwards of $60,000 to repair. He knows his stuff and is reasonably priced. read more

Mr. Fryday is experienced, knowledgeable, thorough, and timely at a reasonable price. He provided an excellent report and we were glad we had him come out to inspect a prospective property, which took him about four hours. Also, if you are new to the property purchase process, the contract forms to engage a property inspector such as Space City Inspections are in keeping with Texas Real Estate Commission's Standards of Practice and are pretty much universal across varying inspection firms; however, if you are not used to reading legalese, they can be somewhat intimidating. read more

Ed Fryday with Space City Inspections was very professional and polite on his visit to do inspection. His wealth of knowledge with codes during inspection were phenomenal. He even had my inspection report with a few hours after he finished. if anyone needs a home inspection I highly recommend Ed Fryday with Space City Inspections!!! read more

Fantastic Service! Quick to respond to any question and/or concern. Saved me from purchasing a very-much-in-need-of-repair home and making a very costly mistake. "Saved" probably not the best term, as he doesn't give you his personal opinion one way or the other, but his work is honest, very professional and straight-forward; report lays it all out for you to make a decision on. I can't gush-on enough about his service. He spent about 6-7 hours on the property and got the report to me that same evening, ....with pictures! I would recommend him to everyone and will use him again for the home I do buy; will recommend him when selling my current home. read more

Very professional, thorough, and extremely detail oriented. He is clear in his assessment and explains all the terms in an easy-to-understand manner. Turnaround time for the report was very quick as well. Highly Recommended! read more

Ed has done a couple inspections for me. He is knowledgeable and thorough. I would highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable, thorough, and informative. Allowed me to join him in the inspection. Educated me every step of the way. Definitely recommend. Very satisfied and at ease with purchasing my new forever home. read more

Ed was great. Quick to respond, very professional, and has the heart of a teacher. He explained everything clearly and was available after the inspection for followup questions and advice. So glad I found him and will use him again if the opportunity arises.; read more

Ed is outstanding. He has inspected multiple properties for me and is thorough in his approach and thoughtful in his communication. His knowledge of the codes is truly unmatched. I went in to each purchase confident with my home! read more

Ed was fantastic. He was prompt in response, came for our inspection next day, and timely with his feedback. He is thorough and knowledgeable in his craft. He is patient and really makes sure he's covered every corner. He explained everything to us, answered all of our questions and saved us from a possibly very dangerous situation. We are grateful for his time effort, care, and passion that he puts into his work. He truly cares for your family, and your financial investment and wants to make sure you are going to be safe in your home. I'll definitely be using him for any inspection needs I have in the future. read more

Man knows his stuff. Super friendly and was never in a rush to talk to me. I am new to town and he gave me tons of referrals for work dont on my new/old house. I wish he did more that inspections. He is the kind of guy you would want to be your go to for everything. read more

Highly recommend. They provided a very detailed inspection report (42 pages with pictures and a 2 page summary) on the same day as the inspection. Ed was very friendly and great to work with. He even encouraged the home buyer to inspect with him so that they could find everything together. He made great recommendations. read more

I would strongly recommend Ed for your home inspection needs. We hired him to inspect our newly constructed home and when he arrived, he quickly got to work and checked most every nook and cranny of the house. Along the way, he made sure to explain the reasoning of what he was checking, why he was checking it, and how it was checking it. Additionally, he answered every question I had to the best of his ability and highlighted what he felt confident addressing and what was outside of his expertise. After receiving the inspection report, it exhaustively covered all of the items we saw in person and it had additional details and resources for each item. It left me feeling confident in understanding the state of the house and the information he gave us allowed the builder to quickly recognize and address the concerns we had. read more

Ed did a great job in helping get my home inspection completed on-time and did a good thorough job checking everything in the house. He went through all the items in a systematic fashion, and was able to furnish a comprehensive and detailed report with pictures relatively quickly, meeting the tight schedule I had. He took time to explain and give recommendations where needed, and answered all the other questions that I came up with. I definitely recommend Ed for your home inspection needs. read more

We are very pleased with the service we received from Space City Inspections. Ed was very punctual, friendly and professional. He did a very thorough inspection of our home and explained in detail what he found. We believe he charges a fair price for the quality of service. We even received the full, detailed report the same day. We highly recommend Space City Inspections. read more

Mr. Fryday from Space City Inspections was prompt, professional, and thorough on our home inspection. He was able to walk my husband step by step through the inspection, and took his time. We were very happy with how quickly he made himself available during our option period, and he got the report back in a flash! Highly recommend. read more

We are in the process of purchasing a home that was recently finished being built. Since we weren't part of the original construction (the original buyers backed out), we wanted to verify the house was in good shaped, so we called Ed to do our inspection. Ed was so awesome. He was very nice and made easy work of methodically going through the house and not just testing/looking for things, but explaining and helping us understand what he's doing and what everything is in the house. Very helpful, particularly as regulations and technology changes so frequently. Overall, the inspection took about 2.5 hours. And while he may be a little more expensive than some of the others we looked at, he was very knowledgeable and clearly experienced. He documented everything and took photos as well. He returned our printed inspection (with photos) report about 2 hours after the inspection finished so that we had it for our walk through. I would recommend Ed to anyone who needs an inspection. read more

I called Ed on a Thursday requesting an inspection and he was able to do it in two days, which was amazing. He was very professional, took thorough notes, and explained everything he found to me. He showed me the pictures he took along with his notes, and showed me where different things are located in the attic. As a first time home buyer, his inspection made me feel at ease. read more

Well, my home inspector buddy is now off pursuing other business opportunities, so I had to find another inspector for our recent home purchase. This buddy lives and did most of his work on the NE side of Houston, but was familiar with Ed and had good things to say about him. I'm an engineer by training, extremely detail oriented and a very picky customer when it comes to anything home or auto service related. Having had Ed inspect two houses for us in the first half of 2014, I'm very pleased with the thoroughness of the work. And now after having crawled into every nook and cranny of the new (to us) house myself over the last couple-weeks, I haven't found anything else that Ed didn't spot that I think could reasonably have been observed in any buyers inspection. I'm especially impressed after having seen the work of another inspection company in the buyers report on the home we just sold... While that inspector did catch the issues of substance, he overlooked a number of readily apparent superficial issues that I know Ed would have noted had he been the buyer's inspector. read more

Ed, with Space City Inspections, is just wonderful. My husband and I were buying a brand new house and after seeing how the builder patched up a mistake of theirs, we just weren't comfortable without having a third party inspector come in and reassure us the house we were buying is sound. Even before we hired Ed, he answered our questions and concerns about the patch job. When he came out, I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable. He even gave me more information than I could possible retain to relate to my husband, extra information about the background and history of the code. He found a couple of major things we wouldn't have even thought to check for in our walk throughs! His thoroughness will surely save us when we go to sell years down the road. As I suspected, I wasn't able to relate everything Ed told me, but fortunately, and amazingly enough, he sent us the inspection report that very day -- just hours after the inspection. We found the report to be extremely thorough, especially since it included pictures, which made it easier to check that the builder fixed the issue! Since our appliances weren't in at the time of the inspection, Ed gave me a list of things to check for, as well as the offer of calling him up anytime if we had any questions. My husband feared I would've found the inspection to be a waste of money, but after meeting with Ed and hearing the things not in code, I think everyone needs to hire an inspector (hire Ed!)! Even for brand new construction homes! As I mentioned before, Ed was wonderful. We would definitely recommend to friends and family; in fact, we already have! read more

I can't say enough good things about Ed Fryday and Space City Inspections. Ed was prompt, courteous and friendly. Most importantly, Ed completed a complete and detailed review of the home. He found things that we were surprised that we overlooked (such as a "bb" hole in a glass window), as well as hazards and issues that we're anything but obvious (including an unsafe gas connection in the kitchen). Ed was very patient and detailed in explaining what he found to us, and he provided a detailed report including photos. The bottom line is that I feel confident that we know every flaw and issue with the house. That's exactly what I want when making a large investment in a home. read more

Ed at Space City Inspections was very professional and thorough. In fact, this was the best money I could have spent leading up to the home purchase. I was hesitant about hiring an inspector since I was buying a new home - I thought it wasn't needed. However, after researching on the internet I decided it was in my best interest to do so. Not only did Ed work with my hectic schedule but he also found more than a dozen items that needed attention or repair that I would have never noticed. Most of these were critical flaws that would have cost me much more money in the future. I will always recommend Space City Inspections to anyone purchasing a home, both new and used.

This is THE inspection company for any home buyer in their inspection area! As many other reviews have already stated, Space City Inspections is extremely thorough and experienced. In fact, another home inspector contacted my inspector for advice while we were there (he did NOT answer the call since he was on a job). I worked with Ed and he encouraged (if not required!) me to be there during the inspection and I'm glad I was there. This made the report much easier to understand and he even pointed out things that were not required by code, but he recommended to bring the house up to current safety codes. Very professional as well! We had a detailed conversation when I hired them and Ed said I could contact him at any future time with questions. I doubt you'll find that kind of commitment to their work from any other company. Also, he arranged for a third party pest inspection to be conducted at the same time at no extra cost to the home inspection! What a convenience and stress reliever for a home buyer! The inspection took about 3.5 hours and is WELL worth the cost ($500). Other inspectors may cost less, but you will only get what you pay for. These guys deserve the 5 star rating I gave them and that they already possess! Thanks again Ed!!! read more

We have used Ed for three inspections. The first was a home he told us to absolutely run from. The builder / owner had built the home and had no idea what he was doing and spray painted things to make them look new. Needless to say we took his advice and when we found a new home he conducted the inspection on the second home. Now that we've outgrown that home he recently did our inspection and of course if we ever buy a home in the future he will do that one as well. Super nice guy, very prompt and hard working. He's not the cheapest, but he is one of the best. When buying one of the largest purchases of your life do you want the cheapest or the best? I'll go with the best. read more

I have over 20 years of Architectural & Engineering experience yet I learned several things from Ed (Space City Inspections) during the inspection of our new home in League City. Ed's report was very thorough and we were pleasantly surprised to receive it the same evening. There's no need to look elsewhere, just call Ed. You'll be glad you did. read more

Our first home-buying experience could not have happened without Ed's knowledge and willingness to explain many things to us newbies. He put us at ease regarding what was a problem and what was a typical issue with a fairly simple fix. He was patient, kind, encouraged us to ask any questions (only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask and worry about) and went beyond what we expected in teaching us what to look for and what warning signs there might be of potential problems. His experience of what is normal and not normal for our area and for the age of each house (he inspected two houses for us) helped us make a decision that saved us thousands of dollars in future repairs. We are so grateful for his work ethic, experience but most of all for his willingness to go above and beyond with kindness. We 100% recommend Mr. Ed Fryday from Space City Inspections!! read more

I found Ed on the internet while researching for a home inspector I could feel comfortable and trust to inspect a house I was about the purchase. I will start with my experience with Ed when I was on the phone with him. I have never met him nor been referred to him before I called him. To be honest, his quote was a bit more expensive than two other inspection companies quoted me. However, his simple words convinced in no time that I could trust him and his service that I should be happy to pay just a bit more to have him check on the single biggest investment I will possibly make in my life. I followed Ed around while he was doing the house inspection. The more I watched him work the more I felt blessed that I have found him. He is thorough, detailed minded, determined to look at every nook and cranny he could possibly get to. He performed tests on things and places I didn't even think needed to. He took the time to explain to me what he was doing and why it was important to check. He was easy to talk to and genuinely cares about the quality of work. He made detailed notes and emailed his inspection report to my agent and me in the same day! But his service didn't stop just right there. I had additional questions that I needed help with on a different property. I contacted him about my questions and guess what, he gave me a response more thorough than I had expected, without being paid!! What a great person and a professional to work with. Ask Ed to help you with your house inspection. You will not be disappointed. Like he said, "we all know what we are worth. When I agree to inspect your house, I will only think and concentrate on your house alone." I cannot be happier with the service and attention I recover from Ed. You will agree with me if you work with him as well! read more

Ed recently inspected a home we ended up purchasing. He was professional, thorough, punctual and friendly. His report was complete and easy to understand. We highly recommend Ed. read more

This was the first time I ever got a home inspection done, but I cannot imagine it being much better than the service Ed provided. He was thorough, professional, kind and encouraged my participation with the inspection and any questions I had for him. I never felt like I was bothering him even after he spent time to answer my questions after it was done. In additional to all of this, I felt confident in his knowledge and expertise in the service he provided. Also, he displayed integrity and great character throughout the whole process. Finally, he was efficient as he got the report back to us the same day. Should I ever need another inspection done again, Ed will be getting a call from me. read more

I was living in Boston at the time I used Ed Fryday's services. I chose him over slightly less expensive places because I liked the way he sounded over the phone. He came across as confident, knowledgeable, kind and eager to earn my business. I also liked the fact that he puts a computerized report together logging everything he sees with corresponding digital pictures. This was great since I was unable to attend my inspection. I felt like I was there even though I was almost 2,000 miles away. read more

Ed Fryday performed an inspection for my home purchase in League City. He is very professional, knowledgeable, timely, and THOROUGH. During the inspection he provided much useful information, and he answered many questions. The overall cost of the inspection was very reasonable. He promptly emailed me a detailed report which made me confident in my knowledge of the condition of the house I was purchasing. He is also very friendly. I would highly recommend using his inspection services to anyone purchasing a home. read more

I dealt with Ed long distance buying a house I could not be there to walk through. He was prompt to respond, easy to schedule and delivered a thorough report that I could act upon. I will have him come back out in eleven months and do a follow up inspection before the warrentee expires. read more

During a recent purchase of a home in Kemah, our Realtor gave us a list of three inspectors she could recommend. After speaking with all three, we chose Space City, and we are so glad we did. From the beginning, Ed was thorough and professional, and always prompt and clear in his communications. His initial report (emailed to us the same day!) was incredibly detailed, with annotated pictures and careful explanations. The pictures were especially helpful, because we didn't live in the area. My husband was curious about one aspect of the inspection, and called Ed, who was able to explain in more detail about housing code requirements, and what was not only acceptable, but what was safe. Ed also performed a follow up inspection, with the same level of attention to detail. I would recommend Ed Fryday without hesitation to anyone purchasing a home in this area - we would certainly use him again! read more

I was recommended by two family members to use Space City Inspectors for our home inspection. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects and building. His report was thorough and we met him on the property and he personally walked us through the inspection after he completed it. Later that evening, he emailed us an inspection with detailed pictures of his findings. If you are considering purchasing a home, I highly recommend Mr. Fryday. You want him on your side when purchasing a home. read more

Ed was fabulous. He was incredibly thorough and explained everything to us while doing the inspection. He took excellent pictures with great documentation. An absolute pleasure to work with. Honestly cannot give a higher rating. Inspires great confidence and one can tell he has a lot of experience in this field. read more

I was very pleased with Ed's inspection! He was very professional and thorough. I loved how he took photos and used the software where he could put arrows to show EXACTLY what he was talking about for those of us who know nothing about these things. My husband was unable to attend the inspection so it was exceptionally helpful in our case. Also, it's very beneficial when negotiating repairs. Thank you Ed! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an inspection. read more

Honesty and Integrity is what you can expect from Ed Fryday with Space City Inspections. If you have the need for a home inspection, I highly recommend the company. They will make sure that you avoid costly issues with your newly constructed home or older home. Buying a home is one of the largest investments that most people make. Secure that investment with a professional inspection by Space City Inspections. read more

Ed did a great job for us on an inspection in Galveston. He knew his stuff on the builders codes and was very thorough. Highly recommend his services! read more

Ed recently inspected the house we were purchasing in Friendswood. We were able to work out the scheduling with only 2 business days notice. Ed was very thorough and explained things very well. He even inspected our pool, which we were thinking of getting a pool company to do, but Ed's pool inspection certifications and unbiased opinion (unlike a pool services company may have been) made the decision much easier. Also, while quite comparable to other quotes from other inspectors, he was a few dollars less expensive. The report was very thorough, well written, had tips and references for further information, and very helpful photos. And Ed's extensive experience was obvious in his approach, communicating found issues, and written reports. He's also very friendly! Highly recommended! BP Friendswood read more
