I spoke to Bill and told him I needed an inspection done ASAP. In minutes he had me set up an appointment. Their price for the four point is reasonable and in range with other companies. The morning of my inspection Bill and his son Will arrived 10 minutes early. That already showed me I had chosen the right company. I found Bill and Will very friendly, professional, and informative, as they explained what they would be doing in and outside of my home. And, how I would be told of any issues he might find, and that would be backed up by pictures. I highly recommend FRI. I feel so relieved knowing they take real pride in their business. And, are serving their customers with dignity and pride as they did while they served our Country! So, look no further. Call FRI Home Inspectors, you will be happy with their knowledge and it will give you Peace of Mind of a job, "WELL DONE".

Let me start by mentioning that I've had my share of experiences with poorly performing inspectors…read more- whether it be a lack of knowledge, field experience, or proper attitude. I'm a contractor and truly appreciate working with a high-level professional inspector. Residential projects are now part of my past but a part of me remains skeptical of inspectors until I'm convinced otherwise. Charles has met and exceeded all expectations in his role as home inspector of a house we are purchasing from out of state. His communications have been timely, detailed, and clear. He was always open to discussion about our general concerns or questions. What's more, his reports were presented in a detailed, interactive format that was easily navigated and provided the creation of a repairs list (including many pictures taken during the inspection) to share with other parties in the purchase. His fair and comprehensive assessment of the conditions on the property and the ease with which his reports could be reviewed resulted in a smooth and more secure purchase process with no opposition from the sellers (including the repair request) or concerns from either agent. Lastly, the service included multiple inspection reports - sometimes required by insurance companies - and a lengthy phone discussion about the findings. His fee, especially when considering all that he offers, is a great deal.

Michael at Direct Inspections was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, thorough,…read moremeticulous, and, most importantly, an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. His attention to detail was impressive, and he found issues I never would have noticed on my own. Having the inspection completed 2-3 weeks before closing was extremely valuable because it gave the builder time to address the punch list before our final walk-through, which gave me much greater confidence in our home purchase. Michael was very methodical in every part of the inspection. He checked outlets, switches, airflow, paint touch-ups, the breaker panel, attic insulation, the exterior, and even used a drone to inspect the roof. On top of that, he delivered a detailed 61-page report the very same evening. I highly recommend working with Michael. His communication skills were excellent, and his walkthrough was incredibly helpful, informative, and absolutely worth attending.

Direct Inspections is an owner operated business with Michael at the helm. He is hands‑down the…read moremost thorough inspector I've ever worked with and I have some experience. He inspected 3 homes for us and saved us from 2 major financial disasters one with hidden mold and another with unpermitted work and foundation issues. His reports are same‑day, incredibly detailed, and he explains everything clearly. The inspection package includes HVAC and pest pros who are just as sharp and professional, all for one great price. By the 3rd house, we finally found "the one," thanks to his vigilance and still were able to get a credit from the seller based on items he detailed! Hiring Direct Inspections multiple times was far better than hiring the wrong inspector once and finding yourself in a money pit. Truly a master at his craft and the best you could possibly hire. The only regret in purchasing our new home is that we'll miss his sound advice but know that we can confidently say we found the one that lets us worry less and enjoy more... finally.

He called to confirm, arrived 10 minutes early and had the house (vacant, with lockbox we could not access) open. He was ready and pointed out a couple of things he discovered prior to our arrival. He answered all our questions about structure and building style, had reviewed the property history prior to arrival, and maintained a patient, friendly, professional demeanor the entire 4.5 hours - a few concerns, plus our questions slowed him down a bit, but he charged on and kept a smile on his face. If you need an inspection Sarasota or Charlotte County, Ryan at Beacon Property Inspections should be your first choice.

SWF performed the pre sale inspection for our home in Longboat Key in December of 2025. The report…read morewas largely clean, with small exceptions of dents and wall plates and minor plumbing issues. Based on that we put our offer together on the home. Since we have moved in, Day1 the heat on the main floor was not functional, after service, found out the wrong part was installed and it could have never worked in that condition $1000. Second, we were having issues with the dryer taking forever to dry clothes. Vent cleaning performed, hose was packed with lint and water, coil in dryer fried. $2000. Third was having issues with dock lift going up and down. After having a few dock contractors out, lift was wired incorrectly cause spooling to bunch up. Additionally the outside box had severe water damage from the hurricane $4000 to replace all of the above. I am out 7k(so far) when we had an inspection down 1.5 months ago. I could have done a better job myself and saved inspection fee(oh yeah, add that to the total). Suffice to say ZERO STARS. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS EVER. Better business bureau has been called has the report and all my receipts. I will make sure they pay these guys a visit.

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.
