I've used this company twice thus far and can say that I'll recommend them without hesitation. Their response is prompt and their inspectors are very knowledgeable. Their services are performed very professionally and I've had great experiences with the both times I've used Texas Inspection Services.

Nothing but great things to say. I called Texan Inspection Services during mid day to request a same day inspection. They were able to accommodate a last minute request. The inspector was thorough and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Brent at TIS performed an inspection for a home we are looking to purchase. He was thorough, professional, amiable, and clearly explained everything to us in plain terms while also providing the more in-depth technical details of all items he found. Outstanding service. A+

We were moving out of town and these guys were recommended to us by our realtor. They were so diligent when doing the inspection. Super quick to respond and provide the report. Worked with our builders with no issues. I highly recommend them to anyone as they provided really great service.

I'm relocating from Colorado to Texas and I hired Texan Inspection Services to inspect my new home. They did an outstanding job and they were very detailed with their inspection. I was so satisfied with their work I rehired them to perform another inspection to see if the builder fixed the deficiencies identified by Texas Inspection Services. I would likely recommend them to others for home inspection services.

They were incredibly nice and easy to work with. Their instructions were straightforward. I wasn’t able to be there when the inspection was done, but I was able to go through the inspection with him over the phone. The report was very thorough. In fact, contractors and friends who’ve done construction said it was the most thorough report they’ve seen. This company was courteous from beginning to end. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve been using and gladly referring Texan Inspection Services for the last 10 years. Kathleen and Bonnie who manage the scheduling are so helpful and accommodating. Trent, the inspector is so thorough and detailed. His main focus is protecting the homebuyers investment and I appreciate that. These are the people we trust to ensure our home is up to the proper standards we hope and expect. Trent did a recent inspection and re-inspection and I now feel confident in my closing tomorrow.I’ll see y’all in 10 months for a re-evaluation before the 1-year mark.Thank you!Jim

After a quick google search, it was clear that Texan Inspection Services was the right Inspector to carry out my new home build. The turnaround time was next to none, especially in the current Houston market where properties are being bought up within a day but I was accommodated within a short timescale. I was extremely grateful that Jason Aronson was the inspector on the day as meeting him on site, he was everything you could ask for. Very concise during his breakdown of things to be updated and fixed on the house, but also made recommendations of items that may not usually be covered and also things a home buyer may not know.Can I also say, cracking some jokes and having a great personality? I mean, we all work but got to enjoy it at the same time right?We did have some issues, that the builder should have addressed before but Jason was quick to suggest a re-inspection and remove a cost for a sprinkler system he could not inspect on the day (our water was closed off due to a mains leak - builder did not notify anyone of this). This prevented double costs - I'm sure other companies would charge this anyway, then charge again once it was up and running.The availability of the company even on weekends when they are closed ( I personally called on a Saturday in the hope they would answer for a reschedule on a Monday- and they did) is something that a large scale company would not care to do. I find everyone that works here, very approachable, a true family company that I will reach out to again to carry out the inspection services, me and my family require.I'll be recommending Texan Inspection Services to all

I needed to know exactly what repairs I needed to do on my house without contractors lying and overcharging so I decided to have a home inspection first.They were very professional and thorough, I received my report and now it's easy to decide what repairs are urgent, what I can do myself and what I have to have a contractor. With this knowledge I feel safe to go and find exactly what I need.Peace of mind,Thank you!

Highly recommend this company for your future home inspection, they are knowledgeable, take time to check all you need to know in order to feel comfortable when buying your house. We got a lot of tips about how to keep our house in good condition. The inspection price was comparable with other inspectors in the area (Heights)

I highly recommend David with Texas Inspection Services. He was very professional, and detail oriented. Very knowledgeable about home building as well. Did the entire walk through of the property with him, all the while answering my questions.Also pointed out all the safety and liability aspects of the property, which I appreciate since I am a Landlord.

Trent was the inspector, he arrived on time, did his inspection and explained what he review, he did a report that was sent also fast as required to assure closing dates remain the same. After the service the company share pest control information and gave recommendations on maintenance frequency.Trent was polite and professional, he bring some devices as temperature sensor and a drone to inspect the top of the roof, he also took notes for his report on issues detected by myself

I recommend David of Texan Inspection Services without reservation. We were looking to buy a house that had already had a very thorough inspection recently; however, we wanted our own inspection. We are glad we did! David was very thorough and detailed. He has worked for builders and so is very knowledgeable about home construction. His insight was very helpful for us to understand risks and mitigants.Furthermore, David made himself available by phone for our follow up questions.Very knowledgeable, personable, professional and responsive.

Derek was extremely professional and detailed in his inspection. A lot of times inspectors will ignore issues just to pass the home for approval from the bank and that’s not what I wanted. I got an honest and thorough inspection that helped me negotiate with the seller of my house on a better deal. Worth the extra $ for a real inspector! Thanks Derek.

Great company with great experts. We used their services for 2 phases of our home building process. Please do yourself a favor and get your home inspected thoroughly. If your realtor is not recommending you to get an inspection fire them and get a new one. I recommend Texas Inspection 100%.

We had our home inspected on 9/15/2021. Brent was at the home early and did a very thorough inspection. My wife and I were pleased with the detail that Brent provided on each of the issues which he found. He walked us through each of the issues after the inspection. The inspection was detailed and helped us present our pricing adjustment request to the sellers. Overall, we are very happy with the work that Texan Inspection Services provided and would recommend them to anyone who asks.

Texan Inspection Services was recommended by our realtor to complete our home inspection for a house we were buying. Trent was thorough, professional, and took the time to clearly go over everything with me in person at the end of the inspection. Also he promptly completed his report and sent it to us so quickly. The report was very detailed with lots of info and pictures. We were happy with our experience and the service they provided!

We had a wonderful experience with Texan Inspection Services. They did a 3-phase inspection for our new construction home. Scheduling an inspection was relatively straightforward and they were willing to accommodate our schedule. Our inspector Brent was fantastic to work with. He was always on or before time for the inspection, was extremely thorough, and took the time to explain each finding at the end of the inspections. Pricing was very reasonable and overall would definitely recommend!

The experience With Texan Inspection Services was excellent. The team at Texan Inspection Services quickly accepted my request for services and were proficient in getting inspections scheduled for me. They were very accommodating in scheduling, and provided excellent communication and very professional in performing the inspection service. The inspection report layout and presentation was very good and the report was received the same day the service was performed. Professionalism at the highest level!

I recently had Texan Inspection perform an inspection on my Condo unit I am purchasing. The inspector arrived on time (actually showing up early to ensure he would be there on time) and began the inspection before the door even opened. The inspection was thorough and went over every room and appliance in the Condo. The final inspection report was in-depth and included issues we had not even thought of. Looking forward to using Texan Inspection again in the future!

I used Texan Inspection services for the inspection during the option period of our vacation home. They were very friendly and accommodating to give me plenty of time to have them inspect with enough time respond to the sellers of the property if there was an issue. The other services I called would have inspected 1-2 days before the end of the option period and were not friendly at all. The technician was running behind and kept in great communication so my realtor and I weren't just standing around wondering. He got to work straight away and was VERY knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone.

Was recommended to use Texan Inspection Services. They were there on time and finished the review quickly and were thorough. The agent gave a short briefing about important things to know and later sent a detailed report. Would definitely use again.

We used Texan Inspection as our home inspection service. They did a 3 Phase inspection on our new construction. The builder also had their own inspector, but we felt more comfortable hiring our own and glad we did. Brian was very thorough and knowledgeable and explained items of concern. He helped point out some items that were overlooked and our builder agreed and took care of. The thermal imaging is awesome. It helped identify some deficiencies that otherwise would not have been detected. Their pricing was very reasonably priced as compared to others. Money well spent! Would highly recommend.

Could not be much happier with the decision to have new home inspection done by Texan Inspection Service. The inspector was very professional and found out major issues that had to be fixed before we close on the house. If not for the 3rd party home inspection, we would not have known about it. Brent was our home inspector, he was very knowledgeable and took time to answer some of the question we had as we are first time house buyers. Kathleen from the office, whom i set up appointments with was very friendly and professional as well. I had to change my appointment couple of time due the construction not being done on time and Kathleen was very considerate of my situation. I will recommend anyone looking for home inspection to go with this company. I will be contacting them again for 11th Month Warranty Inspection as well.

When my wife and I decided to build our retirement home, we realized that we needed someone to represent us as the home inspector. Our real estate agent gave us a couple of referrals and we selected Texan Inspection Services, partly due to the infrared camera and drone technology. Texan Inspection Services did 3 inspections for us: phase 1 pre-pour inspection, phase 2 Frame Inspection/ Mechanical rough in inspection and a phase 3 final inspection. We attended all three inspections and it was very educational. After the inspection, he promptly sent us a report with photos that we could send to the construction manager. Trent answered all our questions and pointed out potential issues that we missed. We were able to get the builder to address all the issues. While the drone could not be utilized due to the freezing rain, the thermal camera showed that the house was properly sealed and insulated; and that there were no air leaks.

I used Texan Inspections for the inspection of a home I was contracted to buy. The whole process of contacting Texan Inspections for their services , the pricing and the quality of the inspection with prompt and professional inspector Brent made my life easier during a time of tension during the home buying process. Their price was slightly below average but the service and professionalism was second to none. Their office handled the scheduling and always picked up the phone on the 1st ring and were able to explain the process and answer any question I had. In the field the licensed inspector showed up a little early for the inspection and answered any question I had during the first few minutes of the inspection. He kept his focus on what he was doing as I distracted him with questions. I only stayed around for the first 15 minutes of the inspection just to look over the house again. I left the inspector to do his job as he went through the house top to bottom. about a 2 hour or more inspection.We received the report later that day. It was very detailed and included color photos and thermal imaging.. Lucky for us their were just a few minor defects in the home. If you want to know you are buying a good house and avoid loosing your $ on a money pit, i absolutely recommend using Texan Inspections

I used Texan Inspection Services for a recent purchase. It was my first time going through this process, and Jason was wonderful! He was very kind and walked me through everything, and treated me respectfully when I had tons of question. When I had additional inquiries, he called me and went over the things I was unsure about. If I ever need inspections in the future, I will definitely be contacting Texan Inspection Services.

Timothy Cady

I was extremely happy with the inspection that I received. Jason was very thorough and offered detailed explanations of every component of the inspection process. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone purchasing a home in the Houston area.

We used Texas home inspection This past month after we made an offer on a home. Many problems turned up that were not on the sellers disclosure, saving us MUCH heartache. We decided not to get the house, because of what they found. Will definitely use again.I also wanted to mention they use infrared technology to find moisture, etc and that also gave me a lot of comfort with regards to finding mold. Thanks THI!!!

This is the second time I’ve used TIS for new build 3rd party inspection and they have always been very professional and knowledgeable. Brent is great at catching oversights missed during the construction phase and I’m confident that his inspections are thorough. The customer service is exceptional and they go out of their way to ensure inspections are done prior to each critical stage, no matter how little advance notice is provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking reputable and reliable inspections for a home..

Our inspector's name was David who happened to be the most humble person we needed at the most stressful time we were experiencing. He made sure we knew what needed fixing, what needed to be changed, and what was right. From beginning to end, he was straight forward but inspected our house to be perfected. Thank you David for all you did for us and thank you Texan Inspection for hiring those who keep the stress at a rest for the moment of our inspections.

Hired David for my new construction. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Reports are done so fast within the same day! So grateful for his expertise, especially during Covid 19. A lot of materials are back ordered or replaced by something else. So it’s good to have your own inspector to ensure that the quality and build is still safe and equipments are properly installed. I have yet to reach my phase 3 inspection but I am extremely happy with the service and expertise provided by Texan Inspection Services. Also, the best quote for new construction as well.

Ray came out the next day to inspect our future home. He was very thorough in his inspection and was able to find minor deficiencies with the home, but at the same time needed to be addressed. We were able to go back to the sellers with the list of items that Ray found and was able to save a few thousand at closing. We would recommend Texan Inspection to anyone who is in need.

Kristin Garnett

Texan Inspection Services was incredibly friendly from our first phone call, through our inspection and afterwards as well. The Inspection report took no time to come back and was INCREDIBLY detailed!! It was a more thorough report than when we bought the home. We highly recommend this company for any of your needs!

I have gone to Kathleen and the team multiple times now for home inspections both on my personal property and investment properties. They are always extremely professional, cheerful, and timely. Most importantly, they are very knowledgeable and do a great job covering all of the bases. The inspectors are willing to explain concepts that can sometimes be difficult to understand and help you through the process. Always a pleasure, and I will be using their services again soon.

The inspection report was so detailed and informative and at a fair price.I definitely recommend them!
