Bay Home Inspections LLC

Michael of Bay Home Inspections was very professional and was a pleasure to work with. His responsiveness, quality of work, and dedication to his customers goes beyond expectations. I definitely recommend Michael and Bay Home Inspections for their amazing work and services and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Bay Home Inspection Inc. was recommended by a close friend who used their services in the past. Michael (Mike) and his team to perform a home inspection on a property we are in the process of buying in Hillsborough County. Mike and his team were highly professional and very knowledgeable while performing this inspection. To me it was one of the most in-depth inspections i have ever witnessed. Him and his steam spent 3 ½ hours on site. He provided information and description of a number of items requiring corrections and or repair. Mike has extensive experience and a knowledge well beyond expectations. He is very knowledgeable on all areas and different systems in the home and without hesitation, provided an abundance of information to ensure we understood everything before leaving the property. I would definitely use him for future home inspections and he is highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and extremely knowledgeable home inspector.

In short extremely well! Michael was thorough gentlemen through out the dealing and most importantly honest. When I asked for additional inspection for wind etc which would have costed more, he literally convinced me that it’s not required and I should go and pay for that. It’s very rare we meet such individual in today’s world.

Very well! Very professional and thorough. He didn't normally cover the area where my home is located but was concerned because I wasn't having much luck finding a reputable home inspector so he took a day out of his schedule to travel the additional miles to and from my home location to perform my home inspection. He also made calls for me to help me find someone who could do the termite inspection. He went well beyond the call of duty. BTW he was recommended by another Home Inspector who refused to travel the additional miles because they knew he was very good and would probably go out of his way.

Went above and beyond expectations.

We were all so impressed! This company was recommended by a friend. We never could have imagined the information we received. Extremely professional work. Mr. Bender is extremely detailed and looked at every inch of this home. Report was generated quickly with pictures and detailed explanation of everything he identified as needing repairs. We were so thankful in having confidence in knowing a homes needs. Buying a home can be very stressful and not knowing home is worse his assessment provided us with future needs of the home so we won’t be blindsided in the future with unprojected costs. Now we know what we have and can budget accordingly . Having major unknown costs for your home always happens but due to his home inspection we at least have an idea of what we are buying. I appreciated this companies “detail” assessment, he is certified and knows a lot about construction etc. Thank you so much Mr. Bender for bending over backwards and assisting me with this home. He will be highly recommended to anyone I know. You don’t come across a man with dedication like this often and for this we are so thankful!!

The service that I received from Bay Home inspection on my new home inspection was PHENOMINAL! The Benders came to my home and they gave a thorough inspection on my home. This was my first home and they educated me on the upkeep of my home. I would definitely suggest anyone needing a home inspection to call Bay home Inspection!

They were extremely thorough and professional! They inspected everything in the house in great detail! Mr. Bender handled every aspect of the inspection personally. He was very prompt writing up the report. I used them for two houses and they did an excellent job on both!

We hired Michael to perform a home inspection on a property we were looking to purchase in Pinellas County. Michael performed one of the most thorough inspections i have ever witnessed, with his team spending 9 man hours on site. He pointed out a number of things that needed repair, and some that were "operable but not optimal". He had a wealth of knowledge on all of the systems in the home and made sure we understood everything before he left. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

Mike did an outstanding job. I was very please with how he and his team went through every part of the house and pointed out all defects. They provided insight on the defect that the home builder would fix and also gave my a list of defects that the home builder wouldn't (thankfully they did). I saw them do things that I've never seen other inspectors do. For example, they used a piece of rebar to find floor tile that weren't properly sealed to the floor. That is just one example of how detailed and serious they were about the product they delivered to me.

Great service, prompt, explained everything. I would use again.

One of the most knowledgeable and professional people I have had the pleasure of working with. Very meticulous and detailed oriented and personable. He arrived at the agreed time, the process was explained step by step and a complete report was issued and received the very next day. We were very impressed with his work. It was a wise investment in contracting him. Additionally, his wife is a delight to speak to.

I can't thank Michael Bender enough for his service today. He is excellent! He's very thorough and knows his stuff. He explained everything in detail and made sure I understood everything. I felt comfortable that nothing was left unnoticed. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a home inspection. He saved me from purchasing a home that needed over 10k+ of work done. Thank you guys so much for your help today. I will be contacting you for the next house that needs your service!

We appreciated that Michael inspected the home first and then had us come after the inspection to walk through the house to go over the findings. He had an assistant and split the inspection between the two of them. When our bank asked for a additional report due to the appraisal, he wrote out a well written and well documented letter. The house we are buying has been neglected and it good hear that many of the items were maintenance issues and not "real" problems.

Michael and his wife were a great team. She walked me through the inside of the house first, then Michael walked me through the inside and outside of the house. He recommended things to do monthly and also yearly for upkeep and preventative maintenance of the house. He also went over the pump and well, and gave me much more information than I received from a paid well/pump inspector! My agent was very impressed with their inspection, as well as two friends that were with me that day, and said they would use and recommend Michael Bender at Bay Home Inspections Inc, in the future. When I received my report, it had pictures, and yellow or red circles and arrows around certain things that needed to be replaced or that was not completed or that were areas of concern. I was really impressed with the amount of time and effort during the inspection and also in completing the report. They were both friendly, professional, and thorough. It was a pleasure working with both of them. I hope to work with them again in the future. Dawn Tucker

Michael and Jennifer did an outstanding job. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. I have never seen inspectors do such a detailed and thorough inspection like that done by Michael and Jennifer. After they were done, they took whatever time that was needed to walk us through both the inside and outside of the house explaining what they inspected and any problems they uncovered and answered all the questions that we had. Michael promised to have a written report in our hands in two day. Much to our surprise, the next day we had Michael's 55 page detailed report with pictures for each area of the report which made it very easy to understand. Bay Home Inspections is the only company I would consider using in the future and I can highly recommend them.

About 2 days later Michael arrived at my house with his associate and the work was done. After a driving rain, it was clear that the problem had been resolved.

Michael and Jennifer were very thorough and detailed. Took the time to explain everything to me. With the information provided it assisted me in deciding against purchasing home with so many hidden problems. I will be hiring again as I continue my search. I highly recommend hiring Bay Home Inspections. Very reasonable in pricing and accommodating. 10 star rating.

They were on time...and did a very thorough job....plenty of details and observations. Their recommendations were of good solid advise to Code. We will definitely use them again. Highly recommended....

The home inspection went very well. Michael and Jennifer were prompt and professional yet friendly and down to earth. They took the time to do a complete job. Each had their list of tasks and worked to complete them independently and as a team when needed. At the conclusion of the inspection they were willing to take as much time as necessary to explain the findings and answer all of our questions. I received the final report in my email sooner than promised.

The home inspection went extremely well. Michael was a consummate professional through every step of the way. The inspection he provided was quite thorough and the report he provided was detailed and easy to read. Michael is very knowledgeable regarding the full spectrum of things that good houses should have and issues that can occur with appliances, structure, roofing, etc. Michael is also very warm and personable. He took the time to explain lots of things to me, which was important because I'm a scared first time home buyer. He was appropriately cautious and let me know which issues I need to be concerned about immediately and which issues were superficial. I would certainly use Bay Home Inspections again and would recommend them to anyone who is in the market for a thorough and knowledgeable home inspection.

Michael and his wife Jennifer are a dynamic duo. They were recommended to me by my realtor and I feel very fortunate for that recommendation. They spent an hour-and-a-half doing a very detailed inspection on the relatively small home (1300 sq ft) I intend to purchase and then spent an hour-and-a-half with me afterwards walking me through everything they found and answering my many questions. They generated an extremely detailed report for me later that day that included many suggestions and recommendations. To a first-time home buyer like myself, that information is like gold. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and professional and I've already recommended them to friends who are also in the process of home-buying. If it were possible to give them an A+++ rating, I would.

When I contacted the owner, he picks up the phone himself and is very professional. I had an extremely tight deadline but he was able to squeeze me in. Two days before the date of inspection I had to change the day due to the owners inability to accommodate us. The owner was more than flexible with the change on such short notice. To make matters worse the deal fell through, and I had to call him and let him know that I didn't need his services. He was more than professional, he understood completely. I can't tell you what a great experience with a company that I actually never actually got to use there services. I believe 95% of a business is Customer service, and their a Winner.

There was so many things needed to be corrected , I re-hired him for a follow up after previous owner corrected the the items of concern. He was quick to respond, reinspect and provide another report based on the repairs done by previous owner. I would recommend him to my friends and family in the future.

Michael, the owner, did an incredible inspection for us and spent time on the phone with me (I'm in a different state) discussing the report and gave suggestions of priority items. I was totally satisfied with his service and would recommend him to friends and family needing a home inspection.
