This is our first home purchase and I spent a long time reading reviews for home inspectors. After seeing such glowing reviews, STL Home Inspection Services was an obvious choice. Billy was extremely thorough and had great communication with us during our home inspection. He was extremely kind, helpful, and we appreciated his relaxed demeanor. He answered any questions we had and put together an excellent report that I'm sure we'll reference for a long time as we slowly improve the home! We were impressed with how quickly he put together the report, working with our tight timeline. I hope to work with Billy again in the future - he's very knowledgable, flexible, and an all-around good guy. I'll be sure to refer him to any friends of mine looking for an inspector. read more

Highly recommend. Very thorough and attentive. Took the time to explain the details of the inspection.

He missed many items (outlets not working etc) and some of the things he pointed out as problems turned out not to be when pro's were called in to address. read more

Billy was great. Responsive from beginning to end and was very thorough. He even went back to the property a second time (after the sellers moved out) in order to thoroughly review the whole house. No charge for the return visit. I thought his pricing was very fair compared to others and he was able to get to the job shortly after I contacted him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you Billy! read more

Totally professional and responsive. Would recommend to any homeowner and/or investor. Five stars all down the line.

I have to say, I've worked with a number of inspectors over the years when looking at acquiring properties and these guys are the best. Billie was very quick to respond, great at staying in touch, etc. They offered opinions when asked, discounted pricing for multiple work and this was the most thorough report I've received from any inspector to date. They were also very flexible while we worked out schedules with renters and property managers. Overall I was extremely satisfied. read more

There are several things you can do to make sure the home-buying process goes smoothly and one of them is choosing the right home inspector. STL Home Inspection Services has a very helpful website that not only contains an up-to-date contact information, but also provides some helpful information regarding what other non-common testing involves and why they are important when buying a home. Their website also contains a pricing table for each services you need. As far as the pricing goes, I think their general inspection price is comparable to others in the area. STL Home Inspection performed the general inspection as well as make the arrangements for the sewer lateral, termite inspection and radon testing. All the services were rendered the same day as the general inspection, however, something fell through with the scheduling and we were unable to get our radon testing done until a few days later. This was not the fault of STL Home Inspections but worth mentioning in case this happens to you, then you know you should call the Radon testing lab directly. We called on a Wednesday afternoon around 4:30pm. He was very professional, asked some specific questions about the property and was able to fit the inspection to his schedule in less than 48 hours (Friday morning at 9am). The real estate agent did recommend a few people/companies but since I am always on yelp, I decided to go with someone who has a 5-star rating here which turned out great! Billy's report came complete with photos of the areas he found to have issues (major or minor), along with his recommendations on what to do to alleviate the issue or if someone else who has the specific background should look at the matter. His report was very detailed and helpful in determining the things you want to ask for to be fixed/replaced when buying a home so that the buyer and the seller could come to an immediate agreement and resolution of the issues. In the end, we had a successful general inspection with STL Home Inspection Services and I am glad I trusted my fellow yelpers for this! read more

5 stars just aren't enough. In an era where customer service and commercial integrity are a faint memory, Mr. Boerner stands alone. He is honest, professional, responsible, and very knowledgeable. He recognized two major issues in a condo my husband and I were going to buy within 2 or 3 minutes after walking into the building and saved us from a potentially costly mistake. I will use him again and will be recommending him to everyone I know purchasing property. read more

I love Billy!!! He is very thorough and honest. We use him on our potential investment properties and when he's out there to inspect, he could be in the middle of an inspection and tell u this property needs too much work and ask us if we want to stop the inspection and save our money for the next inspection. You need someone like that, especially if we don't live in that state. We're so blessed to have found him. Also, I love that his business is technology savvy. Everything is streamlined and user friendly. This makes it convenient for the customer. Cynthia C. read more

Billy was very detailed in his report and addressed all questions we had during the inspection. We would recommend him to others for their inspections. Services: Sewer line scope, Termite inspection, Manufactured home inspections read more

Great inspector! Billy is the owner. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. Even the third party inspectors he works with are excellent, too. The website is transparent and clear. It is easy to schedule an appointment. Before the inspection, he sends you a docusign contract by email. Tip: Remember the gas pilot line has to be on for him to do a basic inspection of a gas fireplace. Process: He inspects the home and if there are major issues during this process, he shows you. At the end, he sits down with you and summarizes the results orally. A couple of days later, you receive an e-bill and upon payment, he sends the written report results, along with photos. Conclusion: I used him for 3 homes and each time, the results have been impressive. Since then, I have sent Billy numerous text messages long after the inspection, and he still answers. He's very reliable and dependable and super nice!!!! He is also honest. During our last inspection, the seller or the realtor had left ALL of the basement windows open during the radon test in freezing temperatures. He contacted the radon tech for me and restarted the machine before he left. You really can't go wrong with Billy. He's the best inspector in St Louis! read more

Bill does what he says. He is very responsive throughout the process. We have used him multiple times. Highly recommended.

I credit Billy with singlehandedly stopping us from purchasing what would have very likely turned in to a money pit. We ended up walking away from a property because of some serious issues he found, and he even gave us the option to pause his inspection after finding them so as not to have to charge us for services that would have ended up being moot. He is incredibly thorough and detailed; he really cares about the safety and quality of the houses he inspects and it shows. All of the contractors he works with have the same level of care and quality, and makes it so easy to be able to do exactly what you need to. His inspection report comes as an online portal which is incredibly easy to navigate and to keep all the information together in one place, and his explanations and recommendations are well thought out and easy to understand. I'll never go anywhere else for any other inspections we may need to do in the future, and I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking to purchase a new home. Thank you Billy! read more

Every positive thing in the other reviews is true. I didn't even shop around, because, as stated in other reviews, I got a response within an hour, AFTER 10pm. I needed an appt ASAP, and Billy was able to accommodate everyone's schedules. Even though he said it was one of the best houses he'd inspected in the area, he found a few things that the home owner agreed to fix for us. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I am located in the Pacific Northwest, and was interested in getting some additional information on a house for sale in the St. Louis area. Billy answered my call late Friday afternoon and was able to schedule an appointment for inspecting the exterior of the house the next day. He was able to provide photos and point out various problems that helped paint a much clearer picture of the potential repairs needed. Billy provides excellent communication and takes time to answer questions patiently and politely. I plan on using him for other properties I'm looking at in the STL area. read more

I recommend Billy and the team at STL Home Inspection Services 100% I contacted them about getting an inspection for a house I was buying, and the experience was outstanding all the way through. Billy provided great communication, a very clear idea of the inspection services offered with associated costs, and a sample report so I could see what the finished product would look like. Onsite he was gracious and professional and made me feel very comfortable with the inspection process. This was a top-notch experience in every way. Contracting for a home inspector on my own with little knowledge felt at the beginning like I was fumbling around in the dark but it was an absolute lifesaver for me to connect with Billy and STL Home Inspection Services on this. I will absolutely use them again and have no hesitation in pointing anyone else to them too. read more

I found STL Home Inspections while searching online for a home inspector. Billy's website was very informative. I liked that he listed his services and prices. I also noticed the business was Veteran owned and Billy was retired Air Force. I wanted to support a local Veteran! Billy was very professional, prompt and clean. He also took care of calling the 3rd party inspectors to make sure everyone was out around the same time. The 3rd party inspectors were also very professional and polite. Billy did a thorough job during the home inspection along with giving a break down before leaving the inspection on any major issues he saw. Although he gives a very detailed inspection report to consist of photos of the areas he found to have issues (major or minor), along with his recommendations on fixing this issue or if he knows of someone with a specific background in this, he will contact them for more information. I highly RECOMMEND STL Home Inspection Services and very thankful the overall inspection went smooth! Thank you Billy! read more

I have used Billy to inspect all of our investment properties. He does an amazing job and we will continue to use him on all future purchases. I have total confidence & trust in him which is huge since I'm out of the state. read more

I would highly recommend STL Home Inspection. Billy is professional and very thorough. He checked every nook and cranny and found issues big and small. I could not of asked for a better inspector. He truly went above and beyond. Thank you. read more

Billy was incredible! Not only was he half the price of the inspectors our realtor suggested, he was timely and extremely responsive. I would receive emails after midnight his time. I'm not sure if he sleeps but he definitely works. On top of this, the home we bought had an inspection done about a year earlier. I forwarded the old report so Billy had something to work off of. On the old report, one of the A/C units was listed as having wiring damage. Billy went back to the house at 11pm just to ensure that the wiring was fixed properly. He double checked this at no charge. Unbelievable. His report are color coded based on: Safety - needs repair, Maintenance - have looked at and Cosmetic. Very easy to read and utilize. I would recommend Billy to everyone!! read more

Mr Boerner was very efficient, professional and honest. He did not waste our time and pointed out things we never would have noticed. He should charge double the price because it's a teaching session for all involved. I could not be happier with this gentleman, we will use him every time. read more

Bill was great! After doing some quick shopping around Bills pricing was quite reasonable. Communication was perfect from start to finish. The inspection went great, he was super knowledgable and thorough. I was defiantly hire again, 100%. read more

These guys are great to work with! We needed to get our home in tip top shape before trying to sell and these guys had great recommendations for how to keep our costs down while trying to update some things needed in order to make our home more appealing. They offer great advice! read more

Billy is so thorough and detailed oriented that it almost takes you by surprise. I hired two inspections to be safe and I will tell you this guy catches EVERYTHING. He caught a hidden mold problem that would have cost me thousands to fix. He is helpful and gives referrals. Nothing is a bother with this guy and he's patient. Can't say enough. read more

well... despite others opinions i can honestly say bill saved me thousands of dollars. he walked me through an older country home and while it was in great shape pointed out some very concerning things i would have never thought to look for. He was very knowledgeable on codes and how important certain things were as opposed to just "updates" i could do myself. i would highly recommend there team of you want someone that is thorough. read more

I highly recommend Billy to anyone in need of a home inspector. Thanks to Billy's thorough inspection and detailed report I was able to have major structural damage to the property I was buying identified and fixed by the seller before closing. I also received a credit for minor repairs that otherwise would have been overlooked. read more

I personally was not there, but my wife had nothing but good things to say about this crew. Upon reviewing the inspection report, I could see why. I am more than impressed by the thoroughness of the inspection. Plus the professionalism and courtesy they showed us will make us use them again. These are guys that you can trust. Thank you read more

These guys did an excellent job. In fact they helped identify a number of major issues with a home I was going to purchase. Billy and his partner seem to be very knowledgeable and they conducted themselves in a highly professional and courteous manner. Phone calls and e-mails were returned promptly, and the quality of their inspection report was really outstanding. The report contained actual photos of the residence along with pictures identifying the issues. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for an inspector that does the job right. read more
