Young Home Inspections

Mike, the inspector, was early and ready to go when all parties arrived at the property. He performed his job very thoroughly and professionally, offering suggestions and comments throughout the process, despite our efforts to stay out of his way while he worked. When he was finished, nearly four hours later (a testament to how much time and effort he put into the process!) he took the time to go over his report in detail with me and answer any questions I had. He also took the time to explain how my report would be accessible a few hours later on Young's web site. As we finished up, I realized I had failed to let the person who scheduled the inspection know that I was an Angie's List customer. When I advised Mike, he promptly returned my check and gave me the discounted price so that I could write another check for the new amount. The following day I spoke with someone at their office to let them know what a great job Mike had done, along with inquiring about a possible future wind mitigation inspection for my insurance company. They advised me that as a repeat customer I would be entitled to a discount on my future inspection should I require it. I highly recomment this company! They exceeded my expectations and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with their work.

On the day of inspection he arrived on time. Did a very through inspection. And explained me everything. If opportunity arise i will call them again.

We were very pleased with the overall work. Mike Tomlinson was very professional and answered all questions and concerns. We would recommend Young Home Inspection. I would like to thank Mike again.

Excellent inspection. Well worth the money. Mike Tomlinson was thorough and pleasant and a far cry from my prior experience with another company. Would highly recommend him.

They are very thorough and excellent.

Inspector was prompt, did a thorough inspection, and provided a complete report before leaving.

Young Home Inspections made the process easy! They were flexible on schedule, met me at the new house on time, and completed their work thoroughly. The inspector then debriefed me and found issues that I would have never found on my own. Their final report was very well done and now provides me with a punch list of items that need to be fixed now that I own the home. I highly recommend this company for home inspections.

I was so impressed with initial contact, speed of response, extremely thorough inspection and patience in explaining it to me, professional binder with full report, and the follow-up. I'm very happy and confident in their service and inspection and would highly recommend Young Home Inspections.

Excellent. I was about to replace my tile roof which was going to cost $20,000 and would have a 20 year warranty. Before I spent that much money, I had Young give me a full inspection of my home which I have owned for 14 years to be sure no work needed to be done before the roof was replaced. He did a very thorough job and had an electronic report to me within 24 hours. He was very pleasant and gave me a sense of confidence that the house was in very good condition and could support the new roof.

I was very satisfied. They were very comprehensive inspections. They covered anything I needed to know about the properties. I was very impressed. It was well worth the money spent. They were very professional, they came right on time. They met my real estate agent and I was very happy how quickly they got the report when the inspections were done. It was a matter of days. You get what you paid for. You can get inspections for much less money but it was a fair price for what I got. I highly recommend them to the Angies List members. I would use this company in the future

I really appreciate the convenience and professionalism of Young home inspection. I had originally scheduled an appointment on 2/23/11 for a new condo I was buying but received bad news that my loan might not go through so I had to cancel on them last minute. THey were understanding and did not charge me any late cancellation fees. I was able to obtain a loan from a different bank and called them the next day to schedule a same day appointment and they were very accomodating. They did not have any openings for that day but later called back since they were able to squeeze me in. I was not there for the home inspection but my dad stated that the inspector came on time and was very professional. We received a binder afterwards with all the information. I would recommend Young home inspection. Make sure to mention that you are a member of Angie's list b/c they offer a 20 dollar discount.

The insepctor arrived on time. He first inspected the roof and exterior walls. Then the inside of the house, including all appliances, plumbing, and electrical outlets. Finally, he donned coveralls, put on a respirator, and went up in the attic. As a result of this thorough inspection, problems were uncovered that were previously unknown, and as a result, the offer to purchase was withdrawn. The money paid for the inpection was definitely well-spent.

It was worth every penny and then some I recieved information that was hidden from me at the time I purchased my home 1 year ago (eg: roof was certified by VA inspector as only 5 years old- actually over 12 years old, Home breaker panel certified by VA inspector and insurance company inspector is actually over loaded AND illeagle with incorrect wireing and loose wire exposed). In addition to this information he pointed out several things that were wrong with my pool and patio that I thought were only naturally occuring items that were actually negiglent acts that should have been discloused to me, at no charge to me. And explained the reasons I would need a complete work up and not just a 4 point inspection to find all the defects to my new home that were discloused to me....but never pressured me to have the 2nd inspection. Fantastic service - timely - outstanding report - photos - more than I expected to recieve for what I paid

The booking service and inspection itself was great, but wish the following was more clear: - a web version of report must be requested and is an extra fee - pictures do not come with standard report - only the basics are inspected for a condo unit (e.g. within condo and A/C unit located externall). Overall building condition not assessed. Despite these small items, they seemed like a reliable company with great employees!

They were fine. They were prompt and did their work with no fuss or bother. I think they were reasonably priced. They got their quote in to the insurance company on time and everything was fine.

Absolutely Professional! Thorough, precise - explained everything in "5th grade language" - If you're in Pinellas County, this is the company for you! Respectfully, Alexis B. Redington Shores

Dan is great. Very thorough, on time, patient in explaining his findings. He worked well with my realtor (as I am out of state). I was recommended to Young by my realtor, felt the price was a little higher compared to other companies, but I was pleased with the service over all and would use again. I really felt that these folks know what they are doing and stand behind their work.

Very pleased with our service. I would recommend this company to any others seeking similar services.

I called Young Home Inspections on Thursday evening. I spoke with a lady who provided me with detailed information of the cost and services. I was given an immediate appointment for that Saturday. Dan was the inspector who came to inspect my soon to be new home. I arrived to the property a few minutes before the scheduled time and Dan was already inspecting the exterior of the home. We introduced ourselves to one another and he kept us involved throughout the whole home inspection process. He spoke directly to me and my fiancée and to our realtor. After a thorough look of the property, Dan discussed with us all the areas he inspected and any areas that needed minor repair. The only setback, compared to other Home Inspection companies, is that Young Home Inspections does not write a narrative of their findings. They provide you with a binder that has an extensive checklist. If there is an item that needs repair, they write a brief sentence on it. Other companies have transitioned electronically and are able to provide a written narrative not just one small sentence of their good and bad findings. Alternatively, the service was great even though the fact that the company is not electronic and does not give a written in paragraph form inspection report. Their expertise and professionalism outweighed this minor setback. I even called Dan two days later to ask if he checked for signs in Wind Mitigation, Mold, and Chinese Drywall. He gave me a great response and assured me even though the inspection wasn't for those items, he checked for items that may trigger a suggestion to inspect further. Overall, the service provided was exceptional.

We went with Young because of the great reviews on Angie's List. They also were able to come out within a day when other companies couldn't come out for a week. I don't remember exactly how much I spent but I know that it was very reasonable when I was comparing prices at the time. One of the employees came out and was very nice and professional. He was here for about 3 hours and checked EVERYTHING out. We had been renting the house that we were buying so we knew a lot of the issues that it had already. I told him that he could skip over some things that we knew had issues, but he insisted that he check them anyway to make sure they weren't worse than we thought. He took a long time going over the binder that he prepared for us and explained, in detail, each area that was in need of repair. Overall, it was a great experience and I felt that he knew what he was talking about and was trustworthy.

Everything was easy. I was out-of-town at the time of inspection and found them on Angies LIst. They made the arrangements with the RE Agent and submitted an on-line computer report the next day.

Dan Tesmer arrived promptly at 8:00 am. He thoroughly inspected our home and gave us a detailed written description of all areas that needed to be fixed. Dan inspected our home for about 4 hours. Without Dan's thorough inspection, we would not have been aware of some of the repairs needed. Due to his detailed report we are fixing everything now and not waiting until the home goes up for sale and have to do the repairs before closing. We were very pleased that we had such a thorough inspection. I would definitely recommend Young Home Inspection and Dan Tesmer to anyone. Very professional.

Dan is punctual and always very professional and thorough. They have been consistent with their service over the years. We wouldn't think of buying a home or making major repairs without having Young Home Inspection taking a look at it first!

Dan Tesmer arrived promptly and inspected all systems (electric, plumbing, etc.) and every part of a house I inherited a decade ago but just moved into fairly recently. Before starting, he listened to my concerns and jotted down areas I had specific questions about. After spending nearly three hours checking out the place in great detail, he sat down with me again and discussed his findings, answering all my questions and making sure I understood the results. He left me with a written report that covers not only the specifics of what he found during the inspection, but also explains building terminology and what inspectors look for in each major category (exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical and about a dozen more) they examine. Especially helpful in the written summary was his estimate of whether the problems he found were major or minor. Mr. Tesmer was tremendously professional and very helpful throughout the inspection. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking for a thorough inspection of their home or of a house they might consider buying.

very thorough. spent several hours looking over property inside and out. provided very nice report.
