Young Home Inspections

They went above and beyond inspecting my new home. The roofing company didnt pull a permit for my new roof. They informed the co. That to save me money on insurance premium they absolutely needed a permit. This forced the roofing co. To get this permit which saved me hundred a year. These are the best people to work with, they know their stuff well and look out for their customers! Cant thank you enough!!!!

I was not at the inspection appointment and trusted the report provided me. On day 1 of moving in from out-of-state, I noticed termite droppings on the kitchen countertop that I cleaned up only to find more the next day and the next and so on (not reported). I asked Orkin how long they thought the termite problem existed and they estimated about 5 years. Orkin also made me aware of a gap in an attic vent where rats were entering the attic. The response from Young Home Inspections - there was no evidence of termites (or rats) and that they were not a WDO company (website states they are) and could only judge a situation by what is visible at the time of the inspection. On day 1, I noticed shower drips when running sink (not reported). At the first rainfall I noticed badly clogged gutters (not reported). I've been in the home for 6 months now and have little confidence in the home inspection report provided and just waiting to find more issues not evident as of yet to me. The inspection was just another expense added to the other expenses on issues not reported that might have been negotiable at time of buying the house but not available to me at that time. Updated 6/23/22 For the record, I moved into the house on 1/24/2022. I used all my vacation time traveling from CA to FL and I work many hours at a full time position which didn't leave me a much time to deal with the issues I was observing right away. So firstly, I've only been here 5 months, not 7 as you want to use to make your points sound more valid. I had Orkin come out to inspect in May and they stated that their report "is based on visible evidence of readily accessible areas and does not make any attempt to reveal damage which may be present. No attempt to remove insulation, carpeting, paneling, etc. to search for hidden damage was made." And they provided me 24 attic pictures of rat and termite droppings. I only see 4 that you provided to me. And remember, they also estimated the problem existed for 5 years. And regardless of all that, you failed to comment on the attic vent gap. Showing me a running shower does not validate the shower drips when I turn the sink faucet on. I just had someone come out today to inspect the gutter in the back and here are some of their comments: the downspouts are not installed properly and the gutter is clogged. On a related note, the drains are clogged as well (need landscaper for that). So in the meantime, water is eroding the ground near the foundation where a snake has made it's home. This report was useless and there seems to be way too many clauses that protect you from ever being responsible for any neglect or wrong-doing. I didn't see anything!!

I do NOT recommend Young Home Inspections since they missed several significant problems with the house I purchased. 1) They completely missed two thermopane windows which had failed seals 2) I had an electrician in who said that the house should NEVER have passed the 4 Point Insurance Inspection since there were obvious open electrical connections in the attic which were a fire hazard and several electrical outlets in the house and garage which were a shock hazard!

We needed to hire a second home inspection company as the first we hired, Anchor Home Inspections, made an error in the report and refused to correct their mistake. I put an inquiry into Angi for a new company and Christine from Young Home Inspections called me within minutes of the request. I explained the situation to her and she was able to find the information in county records that Anchor Home Inspections could not find or did not ever look for as we spoke on the phone. It was late Thursday afternoon when we spoke and they were already booked for Friday, but we made an appointment for Saturday morning. Christine was very helpful and a pleasure to speak with. Saturday morning Jeff arrived on time and was polite, pleasant, and thorough and he let us know about a couple of minor findings and what they were. The inspection report was received within hours of the inspection having been completed and was thorough and professional. I would definitely hire them again and will recommend them to friends. Edit: Great, I just want clarify my previous review regarding Anchor Home Inspections as I see there is another local company with a nearly identical name. The company we had the issue with is named Anchor Home Inspections under the corporate name of Anchor Home Investments out of St. Petersburg and is owned by Stephen Smarowsky who is very unprofessional and unethical. I just would not want anyone to mistakenly think it was any other company.

He was very thorough and did a great job. The office staff (Christine) is fantastic and I will recommend this company to everyone I can.

It went great. I would recommend Young Home Insp. Inc. to anyone who needed this type of service. Inspector was on time very professional and report sent to me when promised.

The inspector was very professional and answered all my questions. He took pictures of any problem areas and sent me a report that night so I could give it to my builder. I would hire them again.

Dan did a great job of walking through the home, and they were helpful in helping us understand what we needed to do to close, very happy with their services!

When I tell you these were the heroes that came in better than I could've asked for. I feel as though I was handled with white gloves and dealing with people, as professional as they were, I felt like I was dealing with people that cared. My wife and I are purchasing a home for renovation and needed a thorough report to identify the areas that need extra love & attention. Chrissy (if I remember correctly) was an angel, she set up the appointment for 2 days out, extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. Dan got there early and had already inspected the roof once I arrived. Ira felt like a familiar face with his expertise there, providing education, with a laugh and guidance on ways to proceed with new information. When I tell you I'm so glad to have had this experience, I was so worried about picking the right inspectors because I had heard horror stories from the architect, the realtor, and the general contractor about improper inspections. They eased my mind so much, I'm grateful I made the right decision by going with Young Home Inspections. Also, they took care of my 4 point and Wind Mitigation. Thank you all.

It went great. Everyone is very friendly and professional. And Dan the inspector is excellent. He answers any questions that you may have, and he's very professional, thorough, as well as punctual. He even swept up the little dust that came out of the attic. I told him that he didn't have too, but he insisted, and his response was that he always clean after himself and it was proven. You all made my home inspection a great experience, as this was my very first time. Young you rock!!!! I will definitely refer you. L. Outlaw 😄

Awesome! Communication is great through the whole process .

The inspector did a wonderful job. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and great to work with. He went over every detail and let us understand exactly what was needed.

Received prompt reply to request. Service was scheduled and inspector showed up on time and produced report within 1 day.

Very professional and great experience!!

perfect job, quick, punctual and thorough

terrible, overly wordy for superficial inspection. Damaged walls during inspection - actually left the screwdriver sticking in the wall!

Inspector was thorough, detailed and on time!

It went great! Dan was extremely thorough, and explained everything he found. He made sure to check the crawl space, attic, workshop/shed out back, separate storage unit, all the plumbing and electrical, roof, etc. He was very honest about what should and shouldn't be necessary to fix, on time to the appointment (actually beat me there!), and very respectful of the home. Christine contacted me almost immediately when I put in for quote, and was also a pleasure to work with over the phone. I would definitely recommend this company to any First Time Homebuyers (or not first-time!) and Realtors in the area that are looking for a good home inspection company!

Great job. Would recommend their services to home buyers.

David did a great job and with his report u was able to get out of that contract and get a better home that was in better condition. Yes I would use them again

As first time home buyers, we couldn't be more pleased with the service! Christine was incredibly nice, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Our inspector, Dan, was informative, thorough, and super helpful in explaining details about our concerns. The report was easy to read and understand. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and we will definitely be using their service again for any future homes!

Excellent service and professionalism. I would hire them again and highly recommend them. Thank you.

Great customer service! Very down to earth approach to business. As a first-time home buyer, they were able to keep me informed and help me with the process. The first house I went under contract with had a lot of hidden problems that my inspector Dan was able to uncover. While it was upsetting parting with the property, I am grateful that they were so thorough- saved me a lot of money in the end! A few weeks later, I was able to find another house I liked and returned to Young as a trusted service. They even gave me a discount as a repeat customer and were able to schedule something very soon. Their reports are super easy to read- color coded and filled with little image markers to easily identify issues and their severity. Their online invoice system was very easy to use as well. When I buy/sell again, I will definitely return to give them my business :)

Went well but I wish they were a bit more thorough with the existing ac unit

Wonderful! I was in the middle of a sales contract and the buyer's home inspector noted the possibility of moisture in the walls,which caused the buyer to pull the contract pending further inspections. Young came the very next day and completed a thorough inspection. We close on the house at the end of the month!
