About us

We are Kansas City's ONLY Full Service Inspection Company. Your house has it? We can inspect it. When you hire our team, you are hiring an experienced relationship based, in your corner, all in, kind of company. We provide FREE phone consultation for all our clients forever. It is the job of the home inspector to not only evaluate the condition of the house's major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced. Your home inspector will provide great education and maintenance tips for your future home ownership. Your home inspector gives you the Big Picture analysis with use of forensics and knowledge of the house you are purchasing. If the home inspector identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any of the houses' systems or structures, the inspector will recommend the appropriate professional, which may be an experienced engineer with expertise analyzing that particular system or structure. The need for this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare. Hiring a Professional Engineer on your own can be a disappointing experience. The term Professional Engineer does not mean that the individual has training or experience conducting home inspections. Additionally, a home inspection does not involve engineering analysis. Therefore, hiring a Professional Engineer to complete a home inspection undoubtedly costs more, but it may not give you the results you desire and deserve.

He pretended to be a third party when I had discovered that my roof vents had been put on incorrectly causing moisture to be trapped in my attic which in turn froze when extreme cold weather came and then melted and destroyed every ceiling in my home. This same water that was froze in my attic and melted also destroyed my siding and you could clearly see that it had destroyed my siding from the inside out since there was insulation from the inside of my home mixed with the water that had burst from my interior. With all of these very obvious things that had occurred at the same time Nick decided to ignore everything that I had said and didn't want to look at my pictures of the ice that had formed or my destroyed ceilings and he sided with his buddies at the big corporate roofing company. You can literally go to mocasenet and punch inspectornick.com into the name and pull up lawsuits filed against this company. I wouldn't trust him.

He has not done the job good at all. Now I see plenty of issues he didn't even talk about it and not mentioned in his report. 1st review I gave him was good be'z I was not having the proper knowledge. Now I know the details, and I can say for sure he has not done the good job. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL.

Nick is an amazing man. I don't use the term "never" very often, but I will use it to describe my experience with InspectorNick. Nick was very professional, thorough and completely transparent with his expert perspectives on the condition of my property. Following the inspection, I needed to clarify sections of his report as my agent and I prepared our Addendum Of Unacceptable Conditions. Without hesitation, he responded, in writing, to my questions. I have "never" worked with an inspector that displayed all of the elements needed to be the best. Those elements are: Technical expertise and experience, exceptional customer service skills, and a profoundly grounded use of interpersonal skills, based on a well refined set of values. I would recommend Nick's services to anyone wanting a complete and accurate view of their potential home purchases. Nick's website is InsepctorNick.com!

Company conducted a home inspection for a house I was purchasing. They are easy to do business with and are on time and provide clear pricing and information. I added two services to the basic home inspection as I went through the process. This also proved to be easy and quick. Results were documented well and delivered quickly.

Inspector Kevin Lancaster did a thorough job on the inspection for a home I was considering buying. He came up with multiple problems which would have cost me a small fortune if I had gone through with the purchase. His inspection saved me from making a major mistake. I would recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.

Arrived 5 min early, walked me through the entire house, inside and out, pointing out all the Major and minor concerns of my newly constructed house. He found an improperly sloped water pipe and numerous other small problems that left unchecked can become big problems. I never would have found most of these issues by myself and glad I payed the money for the inspection.

Both times we hired Inspector Nick, we were very impressed! They were on time, quick (but did not rush). They spent the perfect amount of time explaining things to us. They were very knowledgeable. The inspection report had a very quick turn around. The report was thorough and easy to understand. We found Inspector Nick (and all the other inspectors with the company) to be very trustworthy. Inspector Nick was recommended to us by our friends, who we have known for quite a while, and we could see why they really urged us to go with Inspector Nick. Awesome group of inspectors!

He was extremely detailed and informative. His report provide much needed details to address suspected issues. I did not realize how thorough he was until I had a structural engineer review a few items that Nick has suggested in his report. One of these items included a floor joist that was not properly constructed and supported. Even the structural engineer wanted to know who I had used to inspect my house, because he indicated that the other 99% of home inspectors would have never even had caught the problem with that specific joist.

Bryan performed this inspection for my mother and took over 3 hours for an inspection that usually takes 1 hour. He was so patient and understanding of all my mothers questions even if they had nothing to do with the inspection. He was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely use them for my next home purchase.

I was a bit tensed about my new home (which I am going to buy) inspection. But when I meet Nick and saw him working I was happy that I hired him for the job. He is very knowledgeable and checks all manor and minor items. His is report is through with color pictures, which helps a lot to locate the issue easily. He is always ready to answer my questions. I highly recommend him. Thanks very much Nick !

Inspector nick is the best. The inspection process was thorough and was beyond pleased with his advice and knowledge. In fact, when having issues after the purchase of my home with a plumber, we called inspector nick to get some info. He was glad to provide info to guide our decision.

Kevin was early and began the inspection immediately. He was extremely thorough and professional and pointed out and talked through everything he saw small or large. We feel extremely comfortable that the inspection performed was thorough and found all major concerns. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

They once again did a great job. I used them for my pre-listing on my current home and was very impressed then and once again impressed in this inspection. This inspection was extremely thorough and they outlined page after page of minor concerns that are easily fixable and a few major concerns that we will be negotiating with the seller. They even found an identified a gas leak! Wonderful work and highly recommended.

It went great. The inspector was very thorough and identified a number of things we needed to fix prior to listing our house. We feel confident that our house will easily sell knowing we have corrected all the items they identified in addition to all the major repairs had already completed.

Kevin was our inspector and was very easy to talk to. We arrived early and he was already on the roof starting his inspection. He encouraged us to follow him and ask questions. He explained everything he was inspecting and what he was looking for. He answered all our questions in a manner we could easily understand. Any issues he found that needed attention before we bought the home was explained to us and what should be done. Our realtor was impressed with him and may even use him in the future. Our report was sent to us within a couple hours. He even tightened our kitchen cabinets! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Even before scheduling the appointment I went to their website to examine their services and it was very straightforward. Then I tried their online scheduling system to figure out if they were going to be available in the next few days. I did not end up completing the appointment but a few hours after putting it in I received a call from their office manager asking if everything went ok with the scheduling and if I was having any issues. I told her that I was not yet ready to schedule an appointment and just wanted to see the general availability of their inspectors. She was very informative and told me that scheduling would not be difficult because it was nearing winter. Later, before signing an initial contract on a house, I was able to call the office manager directly and schedule an appointment. She was able to schedule with a few days which was a critical issue for me because of a short inspection period of 10 days. I received an email shortly after with straightforward links to sign an agreement, pay for the inspection, and to download the invoice. On the day of the inspection I arrived 15 minutes early and my inspector, Kevin Lancaster, was already there waiting for me along with the sewer drain inspector. After talking with Kevin I learned that they subcontract out the sewer drain investigation and the chimney inspection which is great because they handle all of the scheduling for you. While waiting for my buyer's agent to arrive Kevin started walking around the property with me and pointing out different minor issues with the exterior. Once my agent showed up the sewer drain inspector went straight to work using a camera on the drain. Meanwhile, Kevin walked me through the interior of the house pointing out several minor issues once again. Eventually we came to the roof and he was quick to point out the issue of composition over wood shingle. He described to me how most insurance companies will not insure it. Then, when in the garage, he was able to identify an electrical panel that was a recall and a fire hazard. He was also able to warn me about having the furnace and water heater in the garage. He explained how for some loans they require a barrier because of the possibility of a vehicle striking either piece of equipment. Eventually the chimney guy showed up a little late but Kevin left once he had finished with his inspections. Later that night I was able to receive a full report of all issues with the house except the chimney inspection and radon report. The radon report was completed and given to me the next day. It turned up high levels of radon. As for the chimney inspection report from the subcontractor, I only received bids but no true inspection report. I called the office manager back for inspector nick and explained the situation and she got right on top of it and called the chimney company to make sure that it was sent to me. Overall I was very pleased with the service from InspectorNick.com. Their office manager was always on top of things. Their inspection report revealed major issues that could have cost me a lot of money had I purchased the home. My only complaint was that their subcontractor for the chimney inspections was not as well on top of things. I will definitely use InspectorNick.com again when I eventually buy a house.
