I had to come on and write a review on this company even though we didn't need to use them (this…read moretime!). I was in a bit of a panic due to a new home purchase and feeling unsettled with the inspection we originally got. I had recently seen a post about inspectors in the area and so many people recommended HIP, saying Sandra was so amazing to work with. I loved that it was a woman who was in this industry so I wanted to call and chat with her. She and her husband, Jim, have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to help me, without charge! Sandra is SLAMMED with business but took several hours out of her schedule, and Jim took time out of his schedule to review our initial inspection report, look at photos I sent to them, research permits that were pulled on this house, and answered my 700 questions. I seriously cannot recommend this company enough. Sandra has the most calming energy, she answers every question thoroughly and explains things in a way that someone not in this business would understand. I cannot wait to buy another home one day and be able to use them. In the meantime, I hope everyone else uses them in their home buying process. Customer Service is 100%, kindness is 100%, hard working is 100%, thorough is 100%. I can't say enough good things. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

This company is by far the best in the business. Allen and Mike were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are clearly dedicated to their work.

Re: Charles H. Hodges, CMI FL HI8377 Hodges & Associates, LLC…read moreWe hired Hodges and Associates, LLC. home inspection service to complete a 4 point home inspection on our home pre-purchase in 2016, on the home located at 919 82nd street NW, bradenton FL 34209. This home inspector pulled the wrong roofing permit for our home before we bought it, showing the roof was installed in 2013. The inspection also stated that the roof was in good shape with 17 years of life left, however 6 years from the time of closing, we were trying to renew our home insurance and the insurance company stated our roof needed to be replaced because it was installed in 2003. We have all the documentation and the inspection report which states the roof was installed in 2013, with a manatee county building permit number. However when we pulled the permit number from county records it was for another house located at 1919 82nd street NW, not 919 82nd street NW. (A huge error on the inspectors part) This error has cost us a new roof, almost $20,000. The new roof had to be permitted/installed in 1 months time in order to satisfy our new home insurance company. We have contacted Hodge and Associates and have several emails from Charles which we also have on record. He admitted the error but is not willing to work with us in anyway. I don't believe he carries insurance. A dead end in the worst way. Devastating for us! Do not use this service! SB

Seth Landry from Banyan Home Inspection Services, Inc was hired by the buyers of our home to…read moreinspect the property. Seth arrived about 20 minutes early for a 10:30 appointment (as we were leaving) and was still here at 12:30 pm when we arrived back. We asked if he would mind if we came "home" and his response was "I'm almost done and it will be about another 30-45 minutes, and I would prefer you not be here". With that being said, we left and waited until he departed. Upon entering our home, which he had for over 2 hours, there was insulation over the furniture in the family room, the sliding glass doors were not secured, the French doors in the master bedroom were ajar (don't think of locking them), as well as taking pictures off the walls and unplugging lights and appliances and not returning them to the way he found them. Florida law states that they are only to inspect whatever is in sight, legally stating nothing is to be moved, no rugs, nothing. Not only did he leave our home unsecured, messy but he did not follow the laws written for any and all inspectors. I would highly recommend finding a reputable company or at least one that is returns the home in the condition it was found. We do wish we were here to see what else he moved/inspected, as we had R38 in the attic, but now there is a pile in the garage. Doesn't seem to matter, the realtor for the buyer was not happy, but one would expect that the company, Banyan would have made an effort to make the matter right. Nothing. Please, find someone else to do your inspections, as he was responsible for any damage, repairs or replacements should something had been broken or stolen while the property was not secured after his inspection but he nor the company was concerned enough to reach out to us. In response to the owner - our agent did contact the buyer's agent, and "the buyer's agent was very upset the inspector left your house unsecured. She let him know the liability it places on the buyers and was thankful you were home immediately following him leaving"... with that being said, you should have done a little bit to follow through on this complaint, but once again, you are so busy that you waited for me to reach out to you and left me a snarky remark that you have left "several complaints"... the outcome would have been far worse for you and your company.
